why was Ross given the No.8 shirt this season? Assuming he'd made his wish to leave very clear and lets for argument sake say Koeman made it clear he had no future why given him a first team starting number... do like they did with Joel and give him a squad number in the 30's

Because there was a contract waiting to be signed.

Good point that, its show the level of support he has had from the club despite the way he has acted. Really happy about the way the club have been handling this situation, Ross has put us in a awkward place but Koeman has been professional about this and kept his dignity, lets hope its resolved soon and we can get a decent fee for the want away player and move on

Must be true then. They never get it wrong or lie.

Barkley's people have been quick to deny it....oh wait.

He was made a very good offer, he chose to reject it. You'd rather think that he was forced out of the door, as that suits your agenda against Koeman. We get it.

should be stripped of it now tbh, regardless of if he has a change of heart and eventually signs.

 

[toffeejack]

we gave lukaku's number to rooney before he'd even gone, so hopefully get siggurdsson tied up this week and give him 8.

just throwing it out there. I personally think Koeman wanted him to sign and stay.

Me too.

And quite a few of the other daily papers, Koeman also said it was a very good offer, in the Echo the biggest wage deal in Evertons history. Or maybe we should just believe you and your agenda against everything Everton. What do you think it was then Davek, the minimum wage £7:85 per hour, a zero hours contract ? No wonder poor Ross wants to leave oops sorry is being forced out.

LOL!

As of last week we still hadn't had a concrete offer on the table from anyone for Ross. Until he's sold he's still in the squad, and therefore needs a number.
