I think Barkley will be sold to induce Sigurdsson's signing , look for Bartley to be sold swiftly when the window opens

Where will Barkley go? Don't see a move up for him and can't see him choosing to move down a peg.
Barkley has one year left on his contract I think , one way or another that should push him out the door .. I think Everton want a fresh start at the attacking midfielder role , and Williams has a strong history with Sigurdsson at Swansea
So you're saying that he wants to stay on Merseyside, then?
"Titles-R-Us" ...worked so far ...unfortunately you seem to be stuck with Trotters Independent Traders ...such is life Quentin...
...I think I might just know the first result in Bobby Maddley's accumulator ...twat
Shocking performance. Not even just the big calls as the offside is what the Lino is there for but just the fact it was so stop start, he never let it flow, so frustrating....I think I might just know the first result in Bobby Maddley's accumulator ...twat
Shocking pen by Mahrez. Should it have been retaken for encroaching? No complaints over their pen obviously.
Money bags Man City taking the ball in the corner to kill time against Leicester eh, who'd have thought it! Pathetic fans they have
Ish, their first goal and not pulling our pen back for encroachment.
The decision to give us the pen was good and the added on time was fair despite Man City fans crying about it
Just seen the highlights, first goal offside and the decision to disallow the pen was ****house. you were robbed.
Would he have made those decisions if it was Mourinho's United? I very much suspect not...

Not in a million years and even less so had it of been a Fergie team.
The first goal was clearly offside, Sterling not only was in the way of the keeper, but he actually swung a foot at it trying to score. If that's not interfering with play, then what is ?
The disallowed pen was an utter debacle. Yes the letter of the law was applied, but the law surely is to stop players from kicking the ball forward deliberately to try and gain an advantage. With Mahrez's pen there was no advantage gained, and it was such a split second moment. Very harsh to rule it out and then not to even allow a retake.
Lesta were robbed.
Madley's crap and you can criticise him for a lot of things, but he got the penalty decision entirely correct.
It's not harsh to do exactly what you're supposed to do. He was right.
If that had happened against you, he didn't give it and it cost you two points, then you'd be absolutely livid.
Putting aside any hypothetical scenario about it happening to my club. I just thought it was a **** decision, the ref has the power to use his own judgement and discretion in applying the laws of the game, around issues involving intent etc. The rule about the two touches on pens is there to stop players taking a touch, to move the ball deliberately to gain an advantage. It clearly wasn't a case of that. Yes he applied the rule, but maybe the rule needs amending ?
Not liking the rule's fine, but you can't criticise Madley for applying it. That's what he's there for.
The ref from the Madrid game in midweek got quite a bit of stick for not seeing Griezmann do the same thing.
That's probably why this incident was spotted, though the other one was much harder to see.
Even as a Leicester fan I accept he upheld the rule so no complaints on that. Whether the rule needs reviewing is one for another time.
My gripe on the incident is that he has pulled up and enforced that rule and conveniently not pulled up the two offences from Man City, the goalie off the line and two players encroaching into the area which on the still shot was clearly all in play before the ball was struck
While they are all offences, they're relatively minor ones, didn't change anything and were all really marginal.
That sort of thing does frustrate me, though. Why have those rules if nobody enforces them?
I still haven't seen anything to confirm that the foul was actually in the box, honestly.
Looked just outside to me, though I have no idea what Clichy thought he was doing.
At least it's probably not going to have much of an affect on your season, I suppose.
Not much comfort in that though, is there?
No they are all fantastic and never make mistakes. I admire their consistency greatly and they are all gods to me
