Realistically should Ross be starting over deli Ali. Performances last year suggest not. He should feature more for England but a move to spurs would only put him further down the England pecking order imo. He's going to get less minutes at spurs than here. Either way next season is the biggest of his career so far wherever he ends up.
 

Perhaps he can't handle it but it's doesn't appear in his play after he was dropped last season he responded well on every occasion, which runs contrary to popular consensus. Only once in the five times he returned to the side did he fail to score or assist, and even then, he scored a week later. Many believe Barkley needs to be mollycoddled yet here he was disproving that, and it went unnoticed.

Went unnoticed with a big pay rise (allegedly).
 
Yeah true this, all the off field problems are well known but maybe not the full details, but it shows the club are blameless in all this. We have tried to support the player best we can but I think its those problems that will be the basis of him leaving, his head just isnt in the right place, shame really, just wish we could get this boxed off soon so we can all move on
For all the stuff that is known there is probably much more that isn't in the public domain. But likely known internally with the club. Tons of instances of that in the states. Teams keep bad behavior under wraps often until something gets out before they can get in front of it. Not saying it is definitely that case with Barkley. But certainly plausible
