Surely the bit where it says 'We will offer...' suggest it hasn't been done yet?

Otherwise it would be 'We have offered...' wouldn't it?

You can't just present the player with a pre-written contract and say "sign this or leave"
Contracts are negotiated by all parties involved. The player, his agent and the board are working on it.
Hence this from Koeman

BlueToff said:
Koeman: "I think it could happen to anybody [the punch] in town. Maybe wrong time, wrong place."

On his contract: "I am not involved in negotiations but I know the board is talking to his agent."

"We need an answer by the end of the season. I spoke to Ross and his ambition is reaching the Champions League."

Both sides need to sort this but Barkley needs to pipe down, take a step back and think seriously about whether he feels it's sensible to start playing games with HIS team. If 70k a week isn't enough to make him commit to us them i despair and shame on him. You can't claim to be an Evertonian and reject that sort of deal.

It quite literally is saying that Kev - or at least that he 'will' be offered one

As stated above the only reason one hasn't been signed is because terms quite clearly haven't been agreed, not that they havent been offered either verbally or in writing. A contract in the terms that Koeman is speaking of is merely a piece of paper to be signed off.

there is no way on earth that a proposal has not been put to Barkely by the club. Why it hasn't gone past the proposal stage is a different matter, and more likely to do with Barkley stalling than anything.

you are probably right, he just strikes me as the sort who would for some reason.

Unless you know another club is after you then it becomes tricky.

And what club leaves a contract until the final year to start negotiating?

We'd have heard that an offer is on the table just like Rom's was since the summer (I believe).

Nothing's been rumoured or mentioned.
