Nobody offered 50 million for one of our player's though.
And nobody has bid 50 million for Barkley yet, but if they did???
'But if they did???'
I don't think they would sell, because they remember the murder that selling Rooney caused, and also because of the hugely negative statement it would send out about Everton. All the noises from Everton at this time - the manager, the player, the board - all suggest Barkley isn't getting sold or going anywhere.
My opinion that we wouldn't sell him is based on all those facts.
There will be people that will take an overly cynical view and believe they would sell him. That's people's perogative.
At the end of the day you can only go on what the player himself says and does and he's made it perfectly clear he sees his future at Everton.
I take heart from the fact that we have the best left back in the contract who could easily have pushed for a move to Man Utd and didn't, instead signing a new contract at Everton. That shows that Everton's best players are willing to stay at the club and snub other richer teams.
