Yep I agree,no way would Everton take £25m for him. Wasn't Fellaini £27m??

They will need to spend wisely to compete in the CL. I'm sure Brenda will sort it

Im sure he will - not everyone has the open cheque to play Champ Manager
Whilst Chelsea and City are extreme, and Liverpools is self earned. Let's nit kid ourselves that Liverpool are paupers. 3rd highest spenders chasing the dream since prem began I believe?

Tbf tho he'll probably do it the right way & look to the youth system to add to all the other Scousers in the team
Your insinuation that not everyone can play champ manager. Which is obviously a snipe at Chelsea and City paints the picture that other teams have their hands tied behind their backs watching the purse strings. When all of the top teams spend more than enough.

Not comparing them to go to Liverpool. Just saying that I personally would buy Barkley, six years younger, and potential to be a great player. He is as good as Gerrard/Lampard/Beckham at the same age. Central midfield players tend to mature later than wide players. Lallana was 24 before he even played in the Premier league.

My post was exactly how it is - not everyone has open cheque books.
Never mentioned anything about Liverpool being paupers or us not spending.
Whilst the top teams have spent money - its nowhere near the likes of both Chelsea and City - Chelsea is closing in on a billion in just 10 years - thats 400 million more than we have in 20 years since the prem. City since 2008 have spent over £600 mil - the same as us in 23 years.
So as i said - not everyone has open cheque books.

Thats because we do get youngsters coming through into the team :thup:
Do keep up
Not sure the relevance of that, in the lower leagues he performed just as well and has had 5 consistent years improving. He's still had two years that have been better that Barkelys.
Starting in the prem isn't the be all and end all, better for his career to be moving up than down surely?
im also not disregarding Barkley. But I think there's more coverage and hype these days than ever before. I think to say he's been any better that Gerrard or beckham is wide of the mark. Lampard did start slowly though I'd agree.

If i had to pick one of them it would be Barkley - Lallana is a very good player. Talented and tidy without being spectacular - Barkley just looks top draw

You really believe thats the only youngster we have had coming through the ranks in recent years ? Even if youo want to ignore all the others that are floating around thats still one more than Chelsea.
You have a good night now - enjoy your end of season celebrations :thup:

"Floating around"
not very flattering. Like I said ,never said Chelsea had brought any through. But at least I'm been honest.
I actually agreed with you that city and Chelsea were extreme. Just pointed out that their teams have been equally succesful without the chequebook. Not everything has to cause such debate, Chelsea and man city spend loads. TRUE.
LIverpool have spent more than UTD and arsenal with less premierleague success ALSO TRUE.
Back to signings I'd like to see us get at least 2 decent centre backs, rumours I've heard are that Lovren has said his goodbyes already and doesn't expect to be back over summer. We have NO cover whatsoever even in the youth set up we lack cb's unfortunately.

If Chelsea bought Ronaldo for £150m tomorrow I'd be delighted. It's not my money.
I have no problem with the sugar daddies in the game. Wasn't critisising either team. I'm honest eniugh to admit that if roman had taken over saints I would been complaining either.
