Ross Barkley

[peteblue]

If he don't sign how would people feel about sticking him in the reserves in a world cup year assuming no one comes in for him ?

I've heard it mentioned by some lads but that would make me feel a little crap ruining his world cup ambitions even if he is acting like a bell wouldn't want to reciprocate.

We should be better than that

I'd put him with the U14's and let him rot........we owe him nothing, the club paid him a wage that most on here can only dream about, so why help him further......

My gut tells me there's more to this than we know. Can't just be about money, or Koeman, or whatever. Reckon it has to do with threats from gangsters that they will kill him if he stays in the city. Ross is looking for a new place to pick up other blokes' girlfriends.

This is what I reckon. It's the Stevie G in reverse.......

Conspiracy theorists take a breath. The lad evidently does not want to re-sign with Everton. Get over it. Get over him. He has to go this Summer. If he doesn't move on now, then he has to be nowhere near the first team until January, when attempts to sell begin again.

Gangster weaselling.

I feel this will end similar to Donnarumma.
him stating his love for Everton & signing a new deal.

He'll have wasted a whole pre-season procrastinating and being frozen out, and will find himself on the bench watching his replacements.
Not happening.

What I dont understand is he isnt even trying to force a move or show any interesting in staying, he is basically doing nothing either way. Along with his agent they negotiate a new contract, the final outcome from this was the contract we offered and he didnt want to sign it, next move is to either ask for a transfer or at least find another interested to club but to do nothing apart from going on holiday is rather poor.
All that climbing on the barrier when he scored down the street end to celebrate with the fans was nonsense.
Its easy to think he has too much off field baggage, which is a real shame for him personally as no one should have to put up with that kind of stuff.

I'm sure things are happening in the background.
I'm willing to bet he has been "tapped up" months ago anyway.

I will definitely boo him when he leaves. Not only has he shown complete disloyalty, he is shafting us out of a transfer fee by running down his contract.

When McManaman did it to the RS it was the act of an Evertonian.

IF Ross spent his summer breaks wandering around St John's Market with a framed picture of the Rafatola above his head then this current contract situation could have been foreseen.

His complete silence, and indeed failure to sign, is a day by day growing insult to his fellow blue blooded man.

 

[everton2004]

He's made his bed, now Koeman is making him lie on it.

I still don't get how you get tapped up when you play for the club you support and they are investing in players and a new stadium.

Why leave now?
