Thats what I heard he was offered(£100k). If thats true and he's still holding out for £150k...I'm sorry, he can do one. I honestly think he is relatively replaceable. Love the lad but this is ridiculous.
Ahh, so he should sign for a bag of Quavers a week and half a Toblerone because he's a 'Blue'.
He hires an agent to get him maximum compensation for his services. That's how modern football works - it's a job first, a club second, and that's the way it should be.
If Everton don't value Ross at the wages he wants, then the asset is deemed unaffordable and you offload. Professionally. Not by doing what Koeman has done, which is the opposite of professionalism.
Ronny K cares not for games.
Not having this Barkley leaving so Thatl be him and rom. Lol god
I said this last night to mixed response.
Could not disagree with this post more.
How is 100k a week an unfair and insignificant sum.
The whispers ive heard indicate that we have offered him Lukakus current money, but he wants closer to the figure we have sat on a table for Lukaku.
Bold move.
Bold move.

The club and the board are not silly they would have offered a fair deal if they want to keep him. Only some player and agent think they should earn even more.
Again, both parties must be negotiating for a long period and either the board had offered a crap deal or the player wanted too much which exceed his so-called market value in the club's point of view because no consensus had been reached.
Players are not allowed to talk about contract offers or money but clubs can leak/spin whatever untruths they want to journalists and the press.
I doubt very much this £100k a week figure is true. I think it's far less.
Mate, you are absolutely delusional. £100k is WELL more than most supporters earn a fn YEAR. What kind of work do you do that you think £100k is "a bag of Quavers a week and half a Toblerone".
I don't care what his agent's job is, it's ultimately HIS decision. ffs, I cannot believe you just compared a contract for an above average footballer at £100k/week as being that.
So he's greedy then really
Exactly!
So in that case, three outcomes:
- The asset is unaffordable and should offloaded because the club doesn't value the asset.
- The agent folds and accepts the offer on the table.
- The club decides to negotiate further and reassess the value of the asset and make a further offer.
That's all we're at right now. Barkley may want to leave, but I'd be astonished if that were the case. I think one of the three above scenarios is very likely, and we're in a limbo of inaction right now other than Koeman's loud mouth in press conferences.

I think this is the scenario. Spot on.
How is that relevant to anything?
Barkley's peers and therefore his point of comparison are other professional footballers. If he values himself at £150k, that is his prerogative to negotiate towards that via his agent.
He's done nothing unusual or out of order - indeed, he's done what thousands of people in any other job do every day; stay quiet, negotiate professionally, get on with his contracted job.
The size of the wage is totally irrelevant.
