He realized he'd rather die by the hand of gangsters than die by the hands of the Chelsea bench?

Obviously good, but all he'll have done is put a huge amount of extra pressure on his shoulders going forward after these shenanigans
I've always wanted him to stay. And for him to want to stay. But if its been a plan all along to leave on a free......well well well.

The thing with Ross is, I think there is a lack of maturity there. I don't think he's fully grasped yet that Koeman is hard on him because he cares about him, and because he knows he's worth expecting more from and not just binning off. It's not picking on him (as I feel Ross frames it) but Koeman's way of showing you he thinks you're capable.
In some defence of Ross, other managers may have adopted a different style on seeing Barkley doesn't respond well to the criticism. Yet I don't think Koeman massively likes changing his approach (which works well with lots of players) and nor do I think he believes Barkley is worthwhile talent to justify him changing his approach. This is a manager who thought nothing of upsetting Mane and Tadic at Southampton only to get them back into the fold as improved players.
The end result of having more players to pick from is that Koeman is unlikely to pick out Barkley for praise, criticism or comment. Barkley will probably misunderstand this as being better than last season, which of course it won't be but for the sake of rebuilding a relationship will probably not do any harm.
I also think Barkley will be far better suited being one of many good players, as opposed to the lad who everything is expected of. I don't think he thrives under that pressure. As Gerrard rightly said, if you put better players around Barkley you will se the best of him and it is all set up for him this season if he stays to up his game. Also with the emergence of Davies and return of Rooney the local hero expectation will be off his shoulders which again will help.
Of course this could be a ruse to just get Spurs, but they don't seem interested currently. If his plan is to hold out for a free thats a really poor thing to do and I hope that's not the case. Anyway we live in hope, if he's here until January there's every chance he may have a change of heart and pen his long term future to the club.

Surely he has got to be signing a new deal?
If he doesn't, he has had us right off, Steve McManaman style.

..because he's going to Arsenal.
Chelsea want centre mids and wingers to play as wing backs as back up to the likes of Moses, that is why theyre being turned down

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks maybe he thinks Koeman is going to walk after this fiasco and wants to stay
If he stays and see his contract out and goes on a 'free'? I know its within his power and perogative etc etc, but you know what I mean.

On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
... for the remainder of his contract
