Ross Barkley

[Durham Toffee]

If the video was 10 seconds longer you'd have seen me stood over him booing and pointing at where in the bar he should have been stood.

"Pass the pint. Ffs, PASS THE PINT. I'm right here in space!!! Ah, for crying out loud. He's gone down easy again. Look at him."

Not arsed if he's sold and doesn't sign the contract. We can easily live without him and there's much better out there.

Who like that would come to us

Just a hunch, but maybe 30,000 Blues singing "How wide are your teeth" at him, might have clouded his judgement on us.

Ye, still a no Mark tho, must be nice for him to see his name in the media.

Not if she'd just given her actual boyfriend a BJ.

Why do we hate ourselves so much?

Boss club in a decent position with loads of potential in the future, money to pay players well and a legendary player as manager.

Players will sign for us if we go for them!

Hopefully not I'll take them but not at the expense of the other 2

Really?

OK. Name names. Go....

Two minds about Ross. One part wants him here because the lad is clearly talented and could be a real star for the team.

The other sees that he still falls on old habits so many times and how many years do you want to give him before you realise you may have hoped for a player to come through that was never arsed to do it? Part of his issue will always be he is first choice so there has never been a fire under him to earn a place in the team.

I want the player he could be in this team rather than the player he is, the player he is can be a bit of a liability in the team as he can't bloody make a decision quick enough half the time and then runs himself out of space in the process and breaking attacks down. At his best he is a great influence on the team and really shines on the pitch.

If he goes then he goes. Its fair to say he won't get any better than here and it wouldn't surprise me for him to go the way of Roswell after leaving us if he chose to. That isn5 a marker on his ability but if he can't really develop at goodison in 4 years then he will really struggle elsewhere

You misinterpret me. The only players we can attract better than Ross play for champions league clubs already.

People can talk siggurdson all they want but he is the set piece King which is great & I'd have him to play with Barkley but not to replace him as it's a step down for me.

We currently have the most creative player in the league from open play. Okay im talking 2017 only but seriously how do people expect to improve on that.
Let's get players around him not instead of him.

It doesn't mean we should be happy if one of our best players - who is one of the best in the league in his current position - should leave.

Oh deffo, Barkley is the only option we have who can play there currently. We need another option there, not to get rid of the only one we have.

I agree but we can't handcuff the lad to the Goodison bogs sink. He has a year left on his deal it's either sign or be sold. Everyone wants to keep him especially the manager but nothing we can do.

I'm concerned at the conflicting reports, Walsh says we haven't offered him a deal yet but Koeman says he needs to sign one? Surely it's one or the other?
