Ross Barkley

[GrandOldTeam]

There's been no change.

They're in talks, as they have been for a while.

Ross wants to reach the CL. So does Koeman.

That is what's not great.

Disappointing to see this drag on and on.

Surely every player wants CL football.

Nothing to see here.........

 

[evertonarntwe]

nothing we didn't already know, would Koeman be here if that wasn't our ambition?

nothing to see here, he'll sign a new contract because he's boss

Just sit back and wait and watch another 10 pages rock up with the meaning of 'Ross want CL football'. Make yourself comfortable

...as I've said before, I always find that an odd statement. If a player wants Champions League they can sign for Celtic. Even the likes of Manchester Utd are having time out so I'm not exactly sure what players mean. Unless they say, "a club who have a chance of winning the Champions League" I suggest it's a throwaway statement and what they really want is a more prestigious club than Everton.

Everyone wants CL money anyhow

Tbf Ross been a frustrating player to watch until Koeman got hold of him. Sometimes he goes back to his frustrating ways such as the Derby. I'm sick of players holding clubs and fans to ransom.

Even more galling when that player is a boyhood blue who has come through the ranks. Sadly that's the world we live in now, particularly when you've got agents involved.

I didn't personally expect any change this week. Based off Walsh's comments Sunday it's an ongoing process, albeit one that should and probably could have been sorted a while back.

That being said. Koeman also said today:

"We will offer him a contract that is good for the player. Everton is the best place for him."

Couldn't agree more. If Chelsea didn't come calling for lukaku, but United did and only had Europa league football to offer, I'd bet he'd still want to join them.

Heard that being spouted by a Liverpool fan account on Twitter. I remain skeptical of its legitimacy.

Suarez racially abuses Someone the RS spend months explaining the variances in the customs of Uruguay, same fella refuses to shake someone's hand and they tell you it's about camera angles , another apparently gets stuck into a DJ and it's the pressure of the life and high price defence barristers and on and on .

One of ours takes a sly one in a boozer and blues line up to put the boot into their own .

Ross needs to look at his improvement this season under Koeman. Even allowing the events of this week, I don't think he'd settle being based in London (Spurs). I'd be more worried about an approach from city.

Everyone wants CL all of a sudden.

But nobody is prepared to fking work for it...
Bizarre. Want, want, want.

If he listens to his agent and is going that's ok Koeman will buy replacement. I won't call myself an Evertonian though. To get good money and play for your beloved club is the best thing happens for an Evertonian.

Sigurdsson is better, Banega from Inter, Jonathan Viera from Las Palmas, I'd even say Lanzini is marginally better. And that's just a few examples.

He's playing well ATM but he's nowhere close to being irreplaceable, our fans overrate him alot. Obviously it'd be better if he stayed because our squad overall is stronger with him in, but I wouldn't be arsed in the slightest if he left - we'd get a good £30-35m too. There's nowhere better for him to go anyway - none of the top 6 clubs want nor need him.

I take it Ross has been sniffing around your bird aswell

Celtic or some Eastern European club have CL footie. That's not about CL football. It's about wages or playing for a Sky club so that you can have a massive upgrade on FIFA.
