Do we need two Ross Barkley threads?

Rename it “…Mark II” or “…Redux” - whatever we did with the Young thread 😆

Concerns about his inconsistency have been put to bed a little by his perfomances this year in a deeper role. I think in a deeper position where he'd have less responsibility to be the main creator (as has been his role at Luton this season), he'll be solid as a cheap, experienced back up option. If we were paying 15-20 mil for him I'd be confused, but on a free this is a good signing imo. Certainly an improvement on Tim/Chambers as midfield back ups

Depth, options. Not a starter.

I should give him the benefit of the doubt considering last time I saw him was under Gerrard and no one was good then. Think part of me just wants a younger guy like a Rogers signing who could be good while also giving you the potential to grow whereas Barkley is capped at what he will give you.

Sensible deal.

Excellent experience, adds more physicality into the midfield, and also isn't Callum Chambers.

Didn't realise he has scored 5 PL goals this season for Luton.

Don’t worry, Unai will level him up. Hopefully it’s only a short term deal and he remains motivated… will have to earn any renewal(s)…
