Joe Allen

[JermainePennant]

HA

I hope your not laughing about me saying he's good enough to play for Barca because if you think about it everyone in our first 11 could, the problem would be if a few of them were all playing for Barca at the same time.Allen is the one who would fit in most comfortably and I think Moreno would also do very well for them.Hes shite defensively here but Barca hardly lose the ball and he would be getting a lot of good service.

It's not only Imminent Tuesday, it's also Joe Allen Appreciation Day (in Cardiff) today. I couldn't be happier for wee Joe.

I knew Allen performing for Wales would bring out some vintage JP.

This is a real thing

That really is some of his best work.

[El Rojo]

He's the older, badder, long-haired, tattooed, chicken-farming brother of the callow kid who missed a sitter in the derby.

 

Long may he ride.

[Guest LFD]

The pass to Ramsey from Allen was very nice.

 

As was the one by Henderson to Vardy.

 

Am I allowed to like both of them?  Or do I have to pretend one was shit and the other was ace? 

[Lee909]

No you cant like both you fence sitting bastard. Pick a side

[kalasoma]

A very strong indication that he's not going anywhere

 

 

...until a good bid comes in.

[ZonkoVille77]

He would have no problem fitting in the Barca team and I do think he is good enough to play for them, they won't sign him as they go for big names but if he came through their youth team he would be starting for them.

 

I also agree he would shine in a European league, he won me over against Everton away where he was keeping the ball with ease while the Everton players charged at him.In Spain where he would get time on the ball he would look outstanding, he'll go to Swansea though and lead them to a domestic cup during his time there and will play against LFC and school our midfielders.

Spot on, JP.

Brandon spent all today locked in his room knocking one out over the wee Mans dominant display

[Paulie Dangerously]

His stock will never, ever be higher than it will be after this tournament.  Sell, sell, sell

[Mathewbet1]

How dare thee

Not at all, I've said for a long time Allen is the perfect player to do the role Xabi used to do for us, he's never had a run of games in that role though and hasn't had a dm playing next to him to cover him like Xabi did.

 

His style of play is very similar to Xabi but he doesn't have the power in his legs to hit the long range passes Xabi does.Xabi doesn't hit long balls all the time either and generally does what Allen does.Allen has more energy, is better defensively, keeps possession as good as Xabi, is better in tight spaces and can get forward from deep positions.The only things Xabi has over him is the long range passes and he isn't as injury prone.

[TheHowieLama]

Would Joe Allen be able to play the Sahin role?

[Lee909]

[Hades]

"The power in his legs" is a belter.

[Mathewbet1]

He's got chicken legs just like his featherd friends but what power in them little legs

[dickie mint]

Wait until he comes up against the Croation - Spanish - French midfielders he'll be off after 60 minutes putting his elastic band back in his hair.

[KMD7]

I would like him to stay but if he is to go I hope he cuts his hair and shaves his beard.  I wont be able to bear seeing him bossing another team's midfield in full Jesus mode, the sexy bastard.
