Funny if he won the thing.

Also, Luke Harbutt has refused a new contract and is available a free, looks decent. I have seen him a few times, but rumours are Liverpool have poached him.

Garbutt looks one footed and not even making runs down the left even when there's acres of space in front of him today. Prefers to give a backpass instead.

I certainly don't see a player of the quality of a Rooney, Owen.....who, in their day were worth paying whatever it cost to buy them in their teen years. If anyone pays more than £20m for Barkley it's a total fucking gamble

i agree. i find him to be actually a very very frustrating player because he's clearly got the tools...but i fear he has the footballing brain of a Micah Richards. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
cheers

I don't think this used to be the case. For some reason, everything seems to have gone pear shaped including his brain. I believe he was genuinely a prospect on the level of Rooney etc. In fact I can remember a bunch of us commenting on here, how much more intelligence he was using, compared to Rooney, when he was brought on for England to play the same job.
I wonder if he has been trying to impress rather than just get on with his natural game, & now can't remember what his natural game actually was.

Get him for a lower price and develop him he has the ability, Everton fans are close to a riot with the back passing, he is suffering from scouse hate.

There is an article on the bbc website on the coefficiency rankings. We would need to be outscored by italy for the next 3 years to come under threat of losing the 4th spot. I cant see that happening.

When I've seen him recently, he has suffered from the same problem as our midfield; lack of workrate.
