Indeed yeah yeah or the guy who had the eye to find these guys. Clearly ja606 is wasted on these guys. They should be out scouting the next big thing.

Sheriff/Stretford please list your scouting discoveries below so we can compare your credentials.

Sir Alex Ferguson signed Ashley Young to replace Ryan Giggs, he also signed Kleberson and Eric Djemba Djemba to begin replacing Roy Keane, even very experienced football men get it wrong sometimes

Funny thing is, on this thread most United fans have said we don't want Barkley, and you're accusing us of being upset because he won't get him....

Mex he's a manager a great manager, these youth scouts have a different job all together.

I am willing to bet my ja606 name that United finish in the top four.

I'm not accusing you of anything...you're all getting clearly upset about comparisons with Rooney what does it matter?? you dont want to sign him & you wont have the chance to either.....

No but for him to say something so bold he must surely truly believe it and with his track record of talent scouting I'd be inclined to believe him.

no-one's getting upset, its called debate, we're arguing the case for Rooney youre arguing the case for Barkley, dont get upset that we rate Rooney more than Barkley

It's not enough to mindlessly repeat Barkley is more talented than Rooney. What does he do better? Score more, create more, pass it better, better awareness, technically superior, more maturity? What does he do better exactly? Cos all I see is an English Dembele who can move through the gears bursting past players in midfield but lacking in a little extra craft and somewhat naive.

No one's getting upset at all. We're just debating whether Barkley is "far more talented" and "a class above" Rooney. Most United fans don't agree.

Let's agree to disagree then.

You're very happy with Barkley. We're delighted with Rooney.

Deulofeu will be a better player than Barkley IMO

posted on 31/12/13

I can accept that. In time your opinion may change I'll accept that too.

Sheriff, potential is hard to say. Some players ooze it at a young age (Messi, Ronaldo, etc.) Others become great such as Bale or Henry. Ross could be like Bale or end up as that Striker Everton once sold to Arsenal. Only time will tell.

We're upset because we don't think Barkley is worth more than Ozil? OK

Good article to bookmark this and come back to in two years.

Sheriff

While I actually rate Barkley high as I've said numerous times, I do generally agree with what you've said there. The fact that the same scout that worked with them both rates Barkley higher doesn't have any affect on my opinion, which is based on what I actually see.

Deulofeu will be a class player but they are different he's a winger, we are very lucky to have such quality youth players this season, even McCarthy can be included in that bracket, I'd say Coleman but he's 24 now so not really a youth.

Why havent united got a chance to sign barkley??? Or are you going to seriously debate that everton are much bigger than united?!

As might yours.

When he becomes the talisman for a team for nearly a decade and takes them to 5 Pl titles and a CL title win we'll talk again.

& Thats where the BS kicked in wasnt it because you dont watch all Everton's games...do you

Blackbeard, are you saying your opinion won't change or that you are so sure that you'd bet your life in Ross being better than Rooney?
