Looks like we've been linked to Barkley again in some papers, please no, we've already got better players in that position and could spend money else where.
{Ed004's Note - I don't see us signing Barkley this summer. Would prefer someone like Isco for his role anyways}

Agreed Ed, Barkley has flattered to deceive seemed to have loads of potential but his progress, like many others, has stalled. Would have loved us to sign Isco a couple of seasons ago but again hasn't progressed as much as I expected.
{Ed004's Note - I think Isco is ready to take the final next step. He has all the attributes to be a world class player however, I reckon Mkhitarian will be playing as our number 10 next season anyways}

Would be harsh to drop Miki, he's done well and Mata and Pereira as back up its not a position we need to strengthen, plenty of other positions do need strengthening. But, if there's a chance to sign a player of that quality can you afford to pass it up?
{Ed004's Note - I don't think you can say no. However, it's a squad game and they will get plenty of game time}

I think, RM will definitely sell Rodriguez and maybe even another (Morata) and push Cristiano centrally, and maybe Isco gets his chance. Long shot though 😂.

Barkley is decent but more of a 3 or 4 choice option for us, I would pick other players before him.
