January Transfer Window

[Cozzie]

Shouldn't be a debate in my opinion.

He's 30 now and still only showing form in purple patches, like he did with us, zero consistency.

Swerve.

[Gash]

Think people get a bit selective when it comes to Barkley and have visions of those driving runs he did like it was a regular occurance, he did it about twice a season. Saw a cleverly edited montage from a game this season, might have been on here but it cut most clips short and moved to the next so that you didn't see the pass go out for a throw in or find an opposition player or miss it's target, looked good first time though.

Ultimately he's been playing about 14 years, was the next big thing both for us and England, had all the ability under the sun yet finds himself the main man at one of the worst teams to play in the PL and that's only because he was free. I've no issue with how he left it's in the past now, he just doesn't do what people think he does on a regular basis, if he did he wouldn't be at Luton. It's all very rose tinted at times when it comes to Barkely. I don't know why we bother (myself included) having this debate every window, it's like Moyes every time we need another manager.

[777Kidnappings]

Don't think anyone is in love with the idea of barkley. More that he's free (I think) and we have very limited funds and a tiny squad

[TheRam]

He’s 30 and has a lot of injuries.

Happy for him but no thanks.

[brap2]

For me it's that he is 30 yep, but has finally got out of the big club loan cycle, and is now just being a fantastic football player.

He's currently one of the best midfielders in the prem, next time you get a chance to watch Luton watch him.

Walks into this this side backwards. Would be delighted to watch him play football again.

[Shogun]

Personally, think you're deluded if you think Sean Dyche is playing Ross Barkley as a deep laying midfielder.

[brap2]

Nah Doucs option.

Be a terrific number 10, drop into the 8 in defensive phases.

Not happening anyway, as said above there's a million reasons why not.

[Kerryblueboy]

First iwobi now Barkley are you on the wind up

[Audrey Horne]

Fantastic football player

[TheRam]

He is.

He’s been brilliant this season.

Just hasn’t showed it enough over his career.

[Cereal Killer]

Certainly gave the mighty Bolton a good going over today

[Gash]

If anything what he's doing this season adds to the reasons not sign him. He's done this all career, have a bit of a purple patch then go back to treating the ball like a hot potato and can't get rid of it quick enough. This season is perfect example of Ross Barkley's career.

I think that game was the Arsenal game. Randomly I watched that. It wasn’t flattering that reel. He was fantastic, pases touches movement, barely put a foot wrong. Not saying we should resign him. But happy to see him play like that.

[brap2]

Hey just an idea! He probably doesn't win enough headers for dyche anyway

[Free Agent]

Not many players do. Dyche sets high standards for headers
