Koeman: "Barkley looking for a new challenge"

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Is he though?? Thats your assumption.

Could be that him and Koeman don't get on and he is being the bigger man and not moaning about it to the press.

Let it go.......

His mam wouldn't let him man lol

Oh great, this troll is back.

Not winding down, 'asked for a new challenge'

After being told sign or be sold?
He knows if he doesn't sign he'll be sold, so not exactly winding it down?!

If he rejects a move away and a new contract then I'd have to agree? But at the moment we'll have to agree to disagree

But he was not signing a new contract all along. He had a year left and the club will lose about £15m beacsue he was running down his contract. That's not a really nice thing to do for your boyhood club.

Heavens only knows why this keeps going round and round.

The lad wanted to move on. Football reasons or personal reasons, well, make your own mind up.

The club have said nowt that any other club would say. Ross has held his own counsel.

He has one shot at a 15 year career. If he thinks he can maximise his talent and earnings elsewhere, so be it. The second a footballer signs a professional contract, they stop being a fan of any club. They become a Professional Footballer. Tis the way of the world.

Nail

On

Head

But, its also his workplace and its quite possible him and Koeman don't see eye to eye so he wants a change of scenery.

Many factors in this situation but its easy to blame Ross and paint him as the enemy

 

[hktoffee]

I wanted him to stay to for a long while but has proven he doesn't have the guts or backbone for us. He wants a nice easy ride with a manager telling him he's "phenomenal" and is the perfect player, ok he can have that on the Spurs beach as a squad player who won't be relied on most of the time, once the manager clocks that Ross isn't all that good let's see how the best mate manager lark goes then. Koeman was trying to help Ross with constructive criticism, not reading him BS.

I think he will do better than Rodwell but surely far away from what Rooney had achieved.

And we know this how?
Even if he told the club earlier in the season, he would still go at a cheaper price?!

How will he cope when the pope calls a Ramadan though?

Say if he has 2 years left, we will get the true value for him. A year left then Spurs hold the cards.

For sure I don't know when did the club begin the negotation but one thing I would agree was the deal should have been tied up last summer. Even Gibson had signed a new deal when there was no manager at the club.

And shafting the club in the process.Imo most of the points GSTREETLAD makes are what most of our supporters are thinking right now,I am a big Ross fan but all this wish him luck,don't be bitter,let it go,hope he does well etc is ridiculous.

I'm not saying he's a Rodwell mate, Ross has definitely got talent but not even close to as much as some on here seem to think. He won't be making the first team at Spurs unless they have an injury crisis imo and he'll carve himself a good career with a West Brom or a Stoke. He won't realize until it's to late leaving us was a massive mistake and the fans who were giving him a little bit of stick were nothing to the abuse he's gonna take if he's a flop at any of those clubs.

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

The best thing he can do for his career is to play matches. He might get that at Everton. He should get it at West Ham, Swansea etc. But last year's top 6 - he'd be bench warming a fair bit of the time I'd have thought. And then how does he improve? Seems he might be badly advised - wanting to do a Stones / Lukaku

Why is it though?? I always wish the local lads well.

He is one of us, i wish him well.

If only he was that loose on the field

I am not saying he is a Rodwell either mate. Just think he will become a bit player at Spurs for a couple of seasons and win nothing. But he may get into the England squad finally.

He has 22 caps for England
