Whilst RB would be an improvement over what we have he's not going to turn us into world beaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not sure what to think about this. He obviously can be good enough but hasn’t done it consistently since he was at Everton (may be due to no runs in the team). Would hope his attitude was good if he is coming in and if he plays how we know he can (I remember a game at Goodison which I think we lost 4 or 5 nil) he would be a good addition. Feel more cautious post Drinkwater though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is only coming for a payday and not bothered then i would be pissed with this signing. We have been stung before with shit deals like this From what's been said in this thread it's a loan with option to buy and Chelski subsidising some of the wages. That takes most of the risk out therefore I don't mind it. Edited September 24, 2020 by Sulberto21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack would be raging with Dean Smith if we got Barkley in and plays in midfield and gets he into the England midfield/squad while he sits out of the Euros cause he is classed as a LW. I think he does. Jack may well be raging but Smith needs to do what’s best for Villa and not Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Barkley ever for any reason. He'll just cost a fortune and will go down as another has been that came here and stole a living. If he signs then he will get my support but as much as I would love to be wrong I feel pretty confident that 2 years from now I'll be quoting myself and gloating in my prescience (that is a joke before anyone goes all frontal lobe on me) Don’t worry I love to gloat, just waiting for the first time I’m ever right and I’ll be ready 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a hell of a coup. This is well overrating him IMO. Or maybe underrating what's here. Light years? He'll be in a battle to start if McGinn gets back to his best. It would definitely improve us as it would mean we have a decent midfielder, either Barkley or McGinn on the bench. Always a good position to be in. One year loan could be great and suit both of us, but we need an agreement fee in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'd prefer RLC but not sure he is available or able to stay fit. Barkely I would def take tho. Good player. Not top 4 level but would be one of our best players if he joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me and Davis. Everybody knows my thoughts on that subject but if he turned it around and was successful, I don’t think there would be a bigger fan of him than me. I want to be proven wrong, we all want the best for Villa, we just have different opinions on how we get there. So I see where you are coming from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the limited game time he’s had at Chelsea I’m not sure many will take the plunge. It could be a win/win for him and Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teale's 'tache Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm... unsure about this one. On the one hand, I quite rate Barkley, lost his way a little but still a good talent, was playing very very well for England not long back and I think he'd quite suit our system. I don't think Chelsea get the best out of him, maybe we can. On the other, Drinkwater... circumstances are different I know but it's still someone else's cast off on big wages... If it's a loan with an option to buy I can maybe understand it, especially if Chelsea pay a chunk of the wages to begin with. We can asses where he is and if he's worth it then without as much financial risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 only thing I dont like about the idea of this signing is that I have already seen 4 different spellings of his surname on this site this morning. I know we need someone to fill the Kiarin clerk void but thats just ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
