Player Valuation: £40m
We don't have to sell him, he has two years on his contract. Whether he likes it or not he's here for another season. Unless it suits us of course.
Barkley though........

I'm honestly not so sure any teams will meet our valuation of him this summer. Thankfully, his agent has piped down and he seems to be out of that "I'm off to greener pastures" mindset. If he can keep the crap to a minimum, I see a team going all in for him in January.

That's a fair point. My take is that they haven't received the offers they wanted and are trying to finish out the season strong to secure a move. We are fortunate enough to have 2 years left on his deal, so unfortunately for Rom and his agent, they have much less leverage than they would like.My take on his agent piping down isn't down to a change on mindset more along the lines that there is a deal in place or if there isn't then there will be.As for meeting Everton's valuation I wouldn't be too sure about that . I would however be astounded if he left in the January window big clubs very very rarely spend big in that window.
If only he was with Ross last night

The 'funny' thing about Everton is that we are kind of where Spurs were 3-4 years ago. Trying to consolidate ourselves into that much heralded 'top 4'. And selling your best player doesn't really help that sort of ambition.
Although Spurs did sell Bale, and although initially they made a mess of investing the fee in players, they are now seeing the 'benefit'. Similarly, if Everton got a massive chunk of money for Lukaku/Barkley we should eventually benefit from re investing the cash in players.

It took them about 3 years to recover. No thanks.
