2017/18 Ross Barkley

[roy vernon]

Spurs wont be bidding for him this window by all accounts so he will have to go to Chelsea.

Or go no where, and off he pops on a freebie in June

 

[roy vernon]

It just becomes their job and with a few exceptions they all think they are better than they are and worth more than they get. I really do not give a toss if he leaves as he is just quite good. I coped with Alan Ball going so hardly creates a ripple with me.

You’re a better man than me Rob, I never coped with Bally going then and I still haven’t yet. That was the day we ceased to be a massive football club. Before then good players never left Everton unless we had someone better to replace them.

@orly index please

Nah, that guy has always tried to get on the Index and wreck it.

He's a bozo.

I'd give my right nut to be good enough to play for us, nevermind get paid 100k a week to do it. Everyone's didn't I suppose, Rooney was ambitious for example. But this? Sitting in utter silence, not accepting nor rejecting a contract offer, not mentioning anything as to why he won't stay here, rejecting a move late on deadline day? Wtf is it all about? Hate the board, manger as much as he likes but hiding from everything is just odd. I can't legislate for that.

Rejecting the move on deadline day is just bizarre. Did we ever get the full story on that? I was hoping he might sign once Koeman left but it seems not.

He'll wait for Spurs on a free in the Summer and walk into that starting 11 based on what I am seeing from them tonight.
Good for him too.

 

[paulf]

Really not bothered..I thought he was offered a contract over 2 years ago? Find it odd if he wanted out why couldnt he of signed a contract seeing as he was such a blue..we get a decent fee..he gets the move...watched nearly all the games he played for us...can count on one hand in games he was outstanding for us..frustrating to watch most of the time..watched far better players down the years....rat

Yeah good for him, always good to EFC getting shafted....

I have to admit when Farhad was on SSN last deadline day, I never once 'really' believed Ross had had a medical and U-turned halfway through after I had a proper think about it. It made no sense. Nor do i buy the story that Spurs got in touch during Chelsea talks and thats why he didnt sign. So he can wait for them. Nah, not having it

If anything his stuff about waiting until Jan and reassessing was conjured up between both him and Chelsea IMO, in order to, as you said, get him for a cheaper fee. I have zero doubt that the actual terms of his move were all sorted, and agreed.

But if no medical had taken place with Spurs wouldn't their board have come out and said this?

Only got ourselves to blame mate. Run by a bunch of amateurs.

How can we blame ourselves when we did everything to support him but he was that rotten as a person there was nothing we could do? He has been planning ahead for a long time

We all could see it coming. Should have been sold 18 months ago. All but those that actually work at the club could see it I should say.
Oh well, life goes on.

 

[Goat]

Its a shame, thats what it is, ignore all the he said she said bullsh, we are gonna lose a talented lad.

Cant blame the lad for putting his own needs first, whatever his motivation is, its up to Ross Barkley to do whats best for Ross Barkley, will be gutted to see the lad play for somebody else, no hard feelings from me, so I wont be wishing injury or harm on the lad, meh.

Nothing lasts forever although I thought the world had ended at the time. My white boots cried along with me. It sort of sums up how far we have sunk when people worry about players like Ross, he is quite good. Nothing more.

 

[terryefc]

Where is he gonna have a pint when he's older?
Can't see him being welcome down the Legion after this.

Good at running his contract down.I've said all this before people have been calling him brain dead for years ha ha.Still people are going on about his world cup place as if he gives a flying f about that.
