England are playing this week, not that I'm really asked about, but I wanted to talk about Jake Sanchio, who left Manchester City last season, turned down 30 grand a week. I love the fact that we haven't even mentioned Liverpool versus Manchester City or Chelsea. I don't want to mention Liverpool. Well, what about Ross Barclay? Ross Barclay, OK. It's good. Played alright, I believe. What I find mad about Ross Barclay is I've seen some comments made by Graeme Sumes that the penny's finally dropped now and he's doing something he didn't do with Everton and he's scored quite a few goals for Everton and had a lot of assists and ran a lot of games. Other times he didn't perform. Ross Barclay is another, he's another one of those Everton stories that's been rewritten by whoever it suits. The first goal for Chelsea, it wasn't like what he's scored, like the kind of goals he's scored for us. He had an assist as well, didn't he, at the weekend or something. One game, I remember him going down to Saltampton with us, didn't he? Yeah. The thing, he was brilliant. What I would say about Ross is I think, I think that he has been getting better and better and good. I think the manager has seen something in him, the desire to be in the team. And I think what I do think is, God is that there's a lot of good players there and he wants to be ahead of them when he wants to be in that team. And I think that manager likes that. And I think that's the difference. The manager's come in and just gone, well, what have I got in my field? Got all these players and he's given them a go. Let's not rewrite history either about Ross Barclay, whether you think he's a rat, a snake, whatever. Take that to one side, he was a very, very good footballer and he was a very good footballer for Evan. Very good footballer, he was young. He had three bad injuries in his career as well. He said last week that he wasn't coached by Evan and a lot of people jumped on that. And I absolutely agree with that. I totally agree with that. I absolutely agree with them. Not at the lower level. Not at the lower level. When he went under Martinis, who was rarely as faced, proper manager, money wasn't asked about him. Martinis didn't coach him. Martinis thought the world of him, but he didn't. Martinis didn't have the ball to have a go on. I think he had the ability to coach him. I don't know. And then Cuman comes in and Cuman was the same. But he was the flip side. He spent too much time having a go on him. And I think he was right. I don't think he's been coached. I don't think anyone's sat him down and going, this is what you're doing wrong and this is how we're going to fix it. Or this is how we're going to develop you. And maybe that's what's happening now. The penny has dropped because someone is showing him the things he's doing wrong because he wants them to do the things right. And he's a go player. And I'm not asked that I've got no... I can't understand people holding on to these things, these issues. He's gone there and I think if he wants it he'll do well because I think he's a go player. And that's it. And I don't understand why people are rewriting history to shoot again, we have this all over the place, to shoot what they want or what they think about them. He's a go footballer and he has always been a go footballer and he just needed consistency. And also let's just remember better players around him as well. Yeah, you know, that ball that's just on Satie's Sunday is because Hazard makes a lovely run and he just... he wins the ball back and finds him with a... How many times did he get when he was at Everton? Did he have an option in front of him? And then he, oh, you know, he's just maturing a little bit. If he played in his Everton side with Shiget and Walcott and Bernard and Richard and... he'd have movements and you'd see him perform better. I'm not saying he's... he was... I'm not saying that he'd be amazing for us. I don't know. And I'm not saying his decision-making will be better because I don't know because that might be just something that he never gets. Some players don't have that decision-making the way in which he had it instantly. But physically, he's powerful. He can run with the ball. He's got a great shot on him. He's unique in a way that there's not many players in that mould. And he's what we missed last season. I'm not talking about his character. I'm talking about Ross Barkley, the footballer. Now, lots went on with Ross Barkley, Everton. Stuff went on that makes you, you know... kind of gives you a little bit of perspective to his side of it. However, I still don't agree with what he did. No, by the way. That's football. Bernard wouldn't sign a new contract with Shattar. They offered him three different contracts to get money wouldn't sign it. His contract run out and we benefited from it. But we love him. You know what I mean? So footballers do it. It's the way it is, you know. Bull, I'm managing the fuck I went on strike at Wafford basically. Do you know what I mean? You can't... It's football. You can't love Wunswick. But he signed the bill and then fucking walked out and said I'm not playing.
