I would like to assure you it was not me who posted earlier about Ross Baeley, I will post about another Ross, Ross Barkley however, I think he can make an impact right now if needed, last season didn't he get man of match against QPR in his first prem start?, he maybe isn't good enough to be a regular starter yet, but surely he must be ready for the odd sub or cup appearance?, let's not forget about a few other youngsters such as George Green or John Lundstram but I think Ross is definitely our most talented youngster.

Phil, COYB!

Yep he did and I had the pleasure of sitting in directors box for that game, he was a cut above the rest on the field on his home debut, I also got to meet him as he was motm, nice lad quite shy and timid actually but hant done much wrong and he deserves his chance in the team. moyes just doesn't have the balls for youth, had he ben at arsenal he'd of played all season

dazza the jock

Barclay is going to be a top player good
Range of passing can shoot with both feet is one for the future still has plenty to learn needs to be stronger in the air
And in the tackle also no when to take
A touch an when to keep it moving showed against Chelsea why Moyes has
Sent him back on lone Matta read the kid like a book to many touches put his
Team in trouble and showed a lack of
Desire to get back when the ball was lost prm not place for making these mistakes once Barclay can mature on the ball we will have a gem on our hands

alrite ed. we all know moyes and the club always keep their cards close to their chest. sometimes not a bad thing in some ways but I do think its a wee bit unfair to us supporters that this contract situation is being dragged out. what will be will be I suppose but just let us know. {Ed025's Note - i just hope he is playing the bribery card mate, to get some dosh from the board..if not, he is out of order..

I said I thought moyes was using the contract situ to get money in jan bu with the fer deal collapsing maybe he gna hold out till summer and use it again. I hope that's what he is doing, we are close to really pushing top teams if he goes so will are best players

We need to play 4-4-2 and just go for it now. ryanfromleic

No we don't 4-4-2 is so outdated, plus don't you remember the home game against bolton last season when we stunk the place out playing 4-4-2 it would be no different this time.

Just couple of thoughts about our current position. The clamour to finish fourth seems to be overshadowing progress we have made. Mistakes were made I believe in this transfer window but they also highlight what would probably happen if we entered the Champions League. A different class of player will not flock to us until we are looking like a team who consistently compete there. And those players who would join for that reason tend to be overpriced mercenaries. we need to keep building this squad and represent a solid alternative to the transient nature of many modern clubs, if that means we end up fifth for couple more years so be it. To emphasise this look how disruptive the situation with Heitinga appears to have been. We wanted to sell no one wanted to buy at the wage level he is used to and we drop points because Moyes feels obliged to play someone who is disinterested and unwanted. Imagine a dozen first teamers like that. let's keep playing with style and passion and enjoy the ride.
