Of course not but I do suggest that the salary available in Saudi is substantially more than available at City and seems to be the governing factors for many of those moving to Saudi.

strange one though, I'm sure he will get plenty of offers, and we've got bigger prioroties to strengthen
Our midfield was noticeably weaker once Ralls went off injured, we need better than the likes of Rinomhota and Adams if we want to improve and if a player of Barkley's quality is available and willing to join then we should be looking to bring them in

Barkley had all the makings of a world class midfielder and didn't live up anywhere near his potential.
No way is he coming here.

he's more of an attacking player though isn't he?
Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023
Barclay would fit the he’s had an offer from Saudi half of this rumour perfectly, it’s the it’s us or Saudi bit that I struggle with. I know Barclay’s career has hit the skids in recent years, but he’s still only twenty nine, so it seems incredible that only a Championship club which stayed up by the skin of their teeth would be the only domestic club interested in him.

Barclay Bob ? Maybe we'll sign Nat West and Ally Facks too. Only joking mate.

Yes, but how do you explain the plane ? Hmmm.....
Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023
I could never understand how Barkley never made it to the very top. His balance, movement on the ball, ability to strike a dead ball was exceptional. I can only think that even though he had talent and natural athleticism in abundance, he lacked the application and single-mindedness to take his game to another level.

Not until they transfer to a helicopter and land on Howells School playing fields..

Giles leaving Wolves, wonder where he will end up.
Edit - he’s going to Luton.

Isn't Dalman based in Monaco? If so, his local airport would be Nice.
Barkley was also released by OCS Nice a month ago so I would be surprised if he was still in Nice.
Maybe Dalman is flying back to sort out the Moore deal.

I agree completely, I'd be shocked if he's the person we've offered a contract too
That's why I mentioned Tom Davies, he seems a more realistic choice

He was always at his best in a deeper role, had the athleticism needed to burst from midfield and dominate in there, not really a "10" though he did play there also
