Filling the Ntcham void!!! 13:32 - Aug 8 with 2494 views | shandyjack | Just read that Ross Barkley is interesting Middlesborough who are looking at bringing him in on a free. Played 27 games in France last year, 4 goals 2 assists. Is 29 and certainly shown to have the ability before. Surely we could match boro for wages? Or whisper it quietly, there is an old fan favourite who takes a mean set piece available after his case has ended | ![](/images/avatars/9754.gif) |

Haven't seen much of Barkley recently, but if he's half the player he was in the times that I've seen him, I'd have him here in a flash. | ![](/images/avatars/8685.gif) |

My memory of him is that he needed a number players in the team around him to do the hard graft and dirty bits so maybe you could say like Ntcham, to allow him space to use some of his best assets. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Jury is out on Cooper for me, run of games and freedom to play in the roll that suits, will hopefully happen and I might change my mind. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

He had the legs and movement to support Piroe and then to cover for Manning needed forward runs, was he a finisher when he had one on one's with keepers,no he did get a couple of poachers goals yes, did he cover successfully at our attacking corners instead of Grimes yes, and did after covering Manning who forgot again that he needed to do his defensive duties ensuring he did by giving a bit of mouth. Ollie's work rate acted as an enabler and seeing we may have some seemingly better WB's he might be a good choice. Made a bit of an impression last year wonder if he could carry on his playing development [Post edited 8 Aug 2023 17:38]

Needs to play regularly, not be a bit part player never see the best of him otherwise, I'd play him ahead of Paterson allday everyday. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

Yes, I was disappointed when pato started ahead of Cooper. For me pato is the dodgy past but Cooper could be the future. Where pato drifts in and out, Cooper just keeps working, if things aren't going his way he just tries harder whereas Pato? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The Club are still trying to get rid of the smell , without knowing the finite details but going by the comments by the Manager why should the Club make a positive statement about his departure | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

The club in the communications front aren’t doing a decent job this season. We had the facts on Ntcham and even the national media Inc wales on line were doubtful. Even with comments to the website from an agent ! They need to grow up a bit and take the rough with the smooth. Just like we all have to do. | ![](/images/avatars/27565.gif) |

Agree 100% this is the one area the club could dramatically improve. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think they are going to announce the new signing the same time as Ntcham departure. It's a media trick to deliver good news alongside bad and vice versa. I don't think in this case that many are going to get upset that much but a bit of goid news will dampen those who do feel a little upset by Ntcham departure. | ![](/images/avatars/11389.gif) |
