Barkley had a great season Ted, what are you on about. He also had most clubs on alert
disagree about isco looking lost. he hit the ground running there but got bounced to make way for their big money monkey boy. then he flitted in and out of the team due to modric and later kroos and rodriguez. never really got a fair shake until injuries forced ancelotti's hand.
edit: oh and fuck barkley. he is not good enough and would be a huge waste of money.

Nobody else is gonna shell out that sort of money for him on a whim, and if the rags want to, let them take the risk. It seems silly to pay that sort of money when really you want a player who is a nailed on cert for that type of cash

He is never ever worth 50 mill, for me we have played silly twats with Centre mid, from De Jong to Fernando what have we spent 70 mill and De Jong still looks better for the screen we need with in front of Vinny, who I would love to ask who was the best CM you have had. Slow build up with Nigel I get that, but he put fires out and was a Team man who buzzed at City. Pogba another level, and Vieira could be the man to seal that deal. I just hope RM do not have him and Reus in the bag. If they do again we see a top club prepared to mess with a formula that is working.

Nige was the man who started the moves for two goals against QPR (2012), he wasnt sluggish in getting forward then :-P

i would really hate to see him go to united or chelsea, of course, so please be madrid if that happens.
i suspect it will be at least 70 million as well.
i do think we have a good chance to get him, as there may be less competition for places here in central midfield than some other clubs, but the competition to buy him will be so steep that the price will be astronomical and we can no longer offer wages better than other clubs it seems. whenever it's this kind of fight for a player i just don't see us being alluring enough just yet (i.e. mangala preferred chelsea).
reus and barkley would not be a bad fold instead, and barkley's value seems to have dropped a bit so the price may end up being more in the 30-40 mil range, which could mean another quality player instead of one for the same price.
