Ross Barkley

[rochdaleblue]

I'd be absolutely shocked if he makes the most abysmal decision he could ever make and leave Everton Football Club.

There is obviously a stalemate going on behind the scenes so it does look like he will leave but he was the player is actually thought would never show an inkling of wanting to leave

That is the influence of agents for you. So many players wanting to become part of the 'Everton project' as koeman refers to it. Yet a boyhood evertonian who has been here since he was 11, wants out. It just doesn't make sense to me.

He must be CRUSHED
@the sniderman can save us

Safe to say he'll get crushed under the weight of that whale of a mrs of his.

Him and his mates probably do that Alli and Kane celebration as they shuffle around North London walking like they've soiled themselves like horrible cockneys.

The flipside is that Pochettino (spelling?) has had an excellent track record in developing young English talent since his Southampton days and a move to Spurs could be excellent for him as it gets him away from Liverpool where there is a fishbowl element for any player who is a local lad. Especially if that lad likes to go out for a drink round town. And going to Spurs he is probably going to be viewed as just another squad player with no significant attachment and not be under the spotlight as much as he is here.

The hype has been concentrated on him at Everton since before he made the first team and that can be just as detrimental to him as any aspect of a move to Spurs could be. I'd love him to sign a new deal here and flourish but let's not get carried away and pretend a move to Spurs can only be a disaster for him. Dier, Ali, Walker, Trippier and Bale did alright going there.

Insane isn't it mate. @Mikey_Fitzgerald posted something a while back which was spot on regarding working relationships and sometimes folk just don't get on. But on a professional level sometimes you just make it work. Koeman wants best for Everton, picked him more than he dropped him, contract offered ( big one apparently ) and nothing.

Supposedly Sheringham and Cole hated each other for the mancs but for the great of good were professional and slotted for fun

Got to be an agent thing hasn't it mate.

Hiya toffees

Spurs fan here.

I come in peace! I've been reading and lurking for a few days here now (mainly for Barkley gossip) and find most of your posts insightful and decent.

As it stands it does look like that he'll joìn us. Apparently Kane and alli tapped him up as Kane likes him a lot.

Levy we all know, knows every trick in the book so i expect you to get shafted by 25m late in the window.

As for would he fit in our team, poch wants a 1st 16 not only 11. Ross would have to toe the line in that respect. Possibly playing the dembele roll as he can't play 2 games a week. Bigger squad for CL and cups etc.

I'm personally not all that fussed if we do sign him as I'd prefer max meyer.

About right

All the shouts for £40+mill are nuts. He wont be going for more than £30mill.

nothing , and I mean nothing, would make me happier than seeing barkley sign a new contract.
it would be the cherry on the cake and that extra push to go into the season all guns blazing.

its a cloud over the club , and if he is sold it would leave a sour taste in the mouth over what should be a great summer. no big money signing can make up for an everton lad not reaching his potential with us.

it would also be an awful end to an everton lads career. there will be no coming back if he steps out.

for his sake , as much as the clubs, I hope he walks into koemans office asap and says this is where his heart is and where he wants to be part of our success.

If Poch wants him, Poch knows what he wants him for. He seemed to be a main target leading up to the end of the season.

Such a little amount of real noise about Ross moving.

I just can't see it happening.

 

[kenada_blue]

Whoa! When did Puyol crock Pip?

 

[Ghoost]

Did you mention that to Rooney?

Your last paragraph is spot on mate, for his sake ( and I've said this time and time again) the best football club for Ross to improve is Everton football club 100%

He can't stand Ronko. Simples.

Then Ronko will bench him for making look like a bulb when he was dishing out ultimatums.
