Ross Barkley

Had a think about this now...not going to lose any sleep of some apparent boyhood blue who doesn't want to play for the club if that is indeed his choice.

We have enough money to replace him and if he chooses to leave, it is not with well wishes and he should be castigated by Evertonians everywhere.

Sign, or don't let the door hit your fat arse on the way out.

See people have already turned on him regarding him not signing a new contract when its been made clear he hasnt been offered one...yet. He may be desperate to sign, but you cannot sign something that doesnt exist.

If he's offered one and refuses or rejects then its clear he doesnt want to stay, until then, the angry mob needs to settle down.

It's normal to let the player actually leave or say he will before getting stuck into him.

You say we have the money to replace him, who exactly? Who will sign for a club outside the CL who sell their best players?

Very mature.

By having a think, you mean you've made up a scenario based on nothing but conjecture and now are convinced that he now wants out?

If its true what he said in the bar then I don't want him playing for us.

Correct.

Unless I've been completely oblivious to it, there hasn't been a murmur of rejection claims. The bigger rumours are that he hasn't even been offered one. Yet.

Do tell.

Not really, but you have to have a no nonsense attitude to these matters, it's only football.

I think you're part of the problem mate.

None of us know the truth of course mate. But Koeman stating it in the media suggests there is something going on, otherwise the threat to sell him would not have been issued.

hopefully scores on saturday and then knocks someone out in the crowd...

I like Ross, but he's 23 now and his form is still inconsistent.

He's not " young " in the terms of a top flight player anymore.

If he does go ( not that I want him to ) we'll manage without him.

He's replaceable, whereas Lukaku really isn't in terms of age and goal scoring.
