[chippy1722]

A quick fact check. So in summary:


What Koeman has said to Ross: We don’t know

What Ross has said to Koeman: We don’t know

If Ross is upset with Koeman: We don’t know

If Koeman rates Ross: We don’t know

What Ross has been offered: We don’t know

When Ross was offered it: We don’t know

What Ross thought of the offer: We don’t know

Why Ross has not signed it: We don’t know

What the agent thought of the offer: We don’t know

What the agent has said to Ross: We don’t know

If any club has shown any interest in Ross: We don’t know

If the club still want Ross to stay: We don’t know

If Ross wants to stay: We don’t know

Why Ross is not with the rest of the team: We don’t know

The current state of play: We don’t know.


Hope that covers it, shout if I have missed anything.

What we do know is that Ross was the only player called out in public.
Also given a public ultimatum despite numerous players being in a similiar contract position, causing him to be dropped too.

Indeed.

Koeman is a man in his mid 50s so he is no spring chicken.

To put it in context, he is about the same age as Jose whom seems to have been around forever and both Pep and Conte are in their mid 40s and Klopp has just turned 50.

IMO Ronald is now in Moyes territory.

This is as good as it is going to get for him and to move to a mega club would carry a very real risk of not ending well for him.

I honestly believe Ronald has now started embracing this club and is genuinely excited about the "project".

There is no reason now why we cannot envisage him being here for the next decade or the best part of it, watching the club grow on the pitch, move to the new stadium and start winning silverware along the way.

A few months ago I could not see him being here beyond the three years of his contract.....now I think he will be here for at least another five to ten years (unless we totally tank on the pitch).

I think Koeman will manage a mega club at some point but just because of the rate they go through managers. He will prob manage them for a season and win a cola del Rey.

Who else that Ron wanted to keep was in a similar contractual situation?

That really answers the question 'tell me something I don't know!'

Noticed how they mentioned Bale had a similar pre-season "injury" and he was left out of the squad. A matter of days before he's gone by the looks of it.

£25m on 31/8 trying to force our hands.

 

[BlueAmigo]

Two mangers with different approaches have tried with him. He's had the carrot and the stick, neither have worked. Better to sell.

 

[Kendall's Dream]

Really hope he stays

 

[cromofo]

If we can get Siggy for his money I'm cool with him going.

If that is true and Barkley is "injured" then he's gone. Deulofeu, Lukaku and Barkley gone in one window. In fairness none seemed a Koeman player but still depressing.

40m is a good price. Not great and I would prefer to keep him but with 1 year left we can't really say no.

 

[GeorgeK]

I guess we will know if he plays or not tomorrow.

 

[Furey1878]

Ross is staying lads

I guess we will know if he plays or not tomorrow.

Erm, George mate, he didnt travel.
