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

[Khalekan]

Delighted Ross has signed. Love how much he loves Everton.

People are saying having a press conference makes us look small time but you can argue the opposite of that. If Ross (one of the top prospects in world football) has committed to us it shows the world of football we are going places. In the past we could never have kept him.

Now lets back this up with some top quality signings.....I'm looking at you bill

Yes.

I think that press conference was aimed at us, the Evertonians....we needed to hear our great white hope pledge his allegiance to the cause.

We needed him signed on a long term deal.

I am confident now the Lukaku deal will come to fruition.

But....er....we might need yet another 48 hours lol

Its not 4 years though is it? Its just a two year extension to the two he had left

Give it 18-24 months and it all starts again

Made up like but the circus that we have seen today to announce a current player signing a contract has drained the life from me

This is up there with the "Get on the OS at 12pm for massive news" to find out we had sold Rodwell

Not quite all. You seem to think it's part of the intricate web of deceit that Kenwright is spinning this summer. Rather than simply a misguided bit of PR.

There's nothing accidental about it. They're filling space where 'significant' news should be.

To me - I might be cynical, but is that just a sweetener for the blues fans as the alleged Lukaku deal is now in shreds, and this public show announcement is to soften the blow if the Lukaku deal fall by the wayside after RM blurting out "Of course he is coming? { I always thought that was a cheeky tongue in cheek remark by RM}

Shamus signed a new contract no big fuss press sky conference on that - I know Ross is a great prospect , and it is great news but why the over the top announcement - not usually the Everton way for a routine contract extension?

Keep the faith, but as we know a contract can easily be broken, a press conference should be for a big star outside player of significance IMO

Bahahaha WHAT?

.....I suspect its not as cynical as you suggest. I think they would make this announcement regardless of the Lukaku situation.

Great news, chuffed to bits when I heard it.

Why are ppl mad? The beautiful beast Besic has just signed, one of the best upcoming talents in world football has committed his future to us, and in a few days a certain Romelu Lukaku will be ours.

Happy effing days this

People are mad because other clubs don't announce press conferences for this kind of thing.

Small time Everton mate

It's 4 years from today.

Did he not have 2 years left on his contract anyway?

Made up here i am, who cares about way it was presented? Good PR with some good quotes in there, is right Barkley!

hahaha, your best today.

So having the temerity to announce that getting the hottest young English player in the game to commit to a new deal is 'a space filler', bravo.

lol.

Can't believe some people aren't buzzing off this.

Part of me has missed the old Davek. This post is oddly comforting mate.

Only Everton fans can argue for 50 pages over a contract extension.
