Barkley Excuse Thread

[Llyrap]

I'm not sure why so many people want to give Ross the benefit of the doubt on this. Both Chelsea and Moshiri publicly stated that Ross pulled out of the deal. Why would they do that? What's in it for Chelsea?

I’m not. It may be that it was simply a good decision by Chelsea.

We could learn from it.

He's a scouser and any scouser with real ambition always leaves the city.

I don't buy it. Occam's razor suggests an agent with a lucrative plan. It's a shame, I just hope it gets done quickly this time.

He's a big train enthusiast in his spare time, and couldn't resist the offer to ride the tube every day, on a variety of lines. Beats Merseyrail hands down.

Chelsea and Ross could have preferred him pulling out rather than it been a failed medical.

The one lesson is that bans on tapping up don’t work. Chelsea and Ross have had it planned out. Just like Lukaku and also Moyes.

Could be all sorts of things, but it's probably about money. Most of it for Ross.

He’s trying to get on the end of an Ashley Williams long ball...

Chatting bubbles again Joseph.
He's a rat who has screwed the club over. That's it really.

he is not a rat it bad mishandeling - under Koeman and Walsh over our transfer policy in general its been disastrous - why was his contract left for so long if he had been fussy rid him at top price - we hang on to players who are to old useless or let their contracts run down -Fact!

He declined a transfer in the summer Joey.

He refused to sign a new contract.

But sure, blame the club.

......or maybe it is just because the weather is a bit warmer down south.

we could have offered him a great contract 2 years ago. say a 5 year deal.

that way you cover your backs regards selling on fee's..

we should never have put ourselves in this position.

amateurish as ever.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

He wants to be booed by a different crowd. Variety is the spice of life.

He is Joey.

While we have to question why didn't the club sell him in the previous year.

 

[magicjuan]

Because Jagielka told him we were booing him at Wembley...

 

[longers]

we have to question why didn't the club sell him in the previous year.

Probably because no one bid for him or was willing to pay the fee we would want.

He became attractive to clubs once his contract ran down and his value decreased.
