4pm announcement Barkley Signs new 4 year deal [Dont post GIFS]

[FTY]

Now Rom.

Then we're going places, places we haven't been for a long time.

 

[Liam-EFC]

It's great news, but it's no way worthy of a presser.

 

[bluewally]

Only Everton can make great news underwhelming

 

[beachy]

sound came back on for a second

 

[Eggs]

......good news, confirms most of our thinking that the boy is very content at the club. It was never likely ha he was about to move. Said all he right things.

 

[Oggzy]

This wasnt for the fans or a mark of intent to other clubs this was a quite clever stunt most probs by Martinez to show Barkley how much Everton and Roberto think of him. Just dont forget his birthday cake or the S*it will hit the fan

But they don't. They're going to be more bothered about whether they get the pay they deserve or the playing time they deserve. Not whether they got the same amount of press as our biggest prospect.
The Toure thing was bizarre but unusual.
People seem desperate to have a dig at something, anything. There is no story in what you are suggesting.

Fair enough. So you don't think calling a big press conference to announce a contract extension for a player, news that could have been splashed on the OS to the same effect, makes us look a little like attention whores?

 

[Kieno]

This will be a running joke amongst Evertonians for years and years

It's just Hillarious!

 

[mill]

Is it a 4 year contract or extension?

Either way, made up. It was so important he renewed. I think he's going to be great next year. Think he'll get more and more important as the season progresses and really establish himself.

If you ask me, signing probably the best young English player in the country is well worth a press conference.

Contracts mean nothing these days....if someone offers enough dough next summer he will be gone therefore the PR event today was nothing more than a weak attempt to send a message to other potential transfer targets that we are ermmm ambitious.

Still the £89 MILLION quid lads.....it,s impossible to fit that under your sun-bed.

 

[Skeleton Crew]

So we retained our player?

Thats like a new signing right?

 

[Bilko]

looks like ssn won't be going to the conference,seems the county cricket has taken priority

 

[blulouie]

Still nowt on Sky (spurs,saints & hull...ye hull tho)
Last time they send a crew to FF for a contract extension.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

The lad missed his opportunity there....he should've done his shower dance!

 

[ToffeeNews]

And that folks looks to be the biggest announcement of the window for us.

Most clubs would add a contract extension on their OS.
