Look how much he enjoys it though. I hope he isn't moving to Spurs just to play Paper Scissors Stone with Walker.

If Koeman sells him due to not liking him or whatever, then does one after another 3 seasons, I will be extremely annoyed

He will jump ship when his contract is up.

It's why I expect trophies from him. He's got the money and his own time period to get it done.

If he don't...he's flogged our best players, spent loads, and failed.

That sounds like something Ross would do tbh

No.

He's been offered a contract.

He's sat on his hands for whatever reason.

The club can't wait and have to move forward regardless.

New players are signed that compromise his position within the first team.

He's fallen on his arse.

This is bang on.
The lad has had some bloody awful advice over how to deal with this.
I must add, in my opinion, as no doubt he will make a shed load of cash for himself and his agent at some point.

Of course. It's his choice.

I just hate the fact something, anything, can't make him stay. I want a scouse blue having success in blue, not at another club.

Me neither, maybe it means he's going to Man City!

It is in his court and has been for months.

Really disappointing the way this has been played and, as someone else posted, I think he is being badly advised.

He cannot continue to hold up the progress of this club because he can't make his mind up or had already decided to leave.

We are moving on, in significant albeit not earth shattering steps. This makes me happy.

The squad that RK is building is his own - let's give him time to mould it to a force that would be a major improvement on recent years.

If RB is still dithering, then I will not lament him leaving.

In another code, Dublin GAA football team has for years been completely distracted by one player - Dermot Connolly. He is now under a 3 month ban and the squad is playing with a new cohesion and teamwork, sans individual, which is a joy to behold.

No one is bigger than Everton FC, the squad or the 11 that are on the field at any time.
