Koeman: "Barkley looking for a new challenge"

[msb]

New challenge? Whaaaat?

I see the hand of an agent working Ross from behind.

That agent's arm must be brown up to the elbow by now.

Yup, as previously said, a new challenge, when he wasn't even good enough to complete his first one!

He's an absolute laughing stock and will be derided in footballing circles for that comment.

Jesus man, hardly pulling up trees with any of them in the side were we?

Of the 4, only Lukaku was excelling.

This is one of those situations were people build something up that was never as good as we thought it was because it has gone.

Absolutely, pains me when people go on like Lukaku, Delboy, Ross and Stones were some kind of divine quartet that would have led us to glory. Only Lukaku has shown me that he has the ingredients to be a top class player, Stones is talented but a poor defender, Delboy is talented but lazy and weak, Ross is talented but is scared by his own shadow and lacks basic football intelligence.

The club has done really well getting the money for 3 of these guys so far, if they can get £30+ for Ross they've pulled it off again.

@devogue apologised to us for his post above.

Fair enough, let it go and move on.

You mean just like the speculation that ross wanted out? And wouldn't sign his contract ?

Remember when there was a furore earlier about him not wanting to sign (during the season) propagated by Koeman? Then some days later we find out he may have not been offered one yet? It's almost all speculation.

 

[Groucho]

My feelings for him are worse than hate.

I have reached the apathy stage with Ross.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

oh he'll be challenged alright

especially when his new manager realizes he has issues with actually using his creativity, and enjoys skirting around the box whilst ultimately doing nothing

 

[gonetomorrow]

If I was him I'd be off somewhere like Fiorentina. Live in a boss city where no one knows him, experience a different culture and play football at a walking pace where he'd probably dominate games. Doubt he's got it in him though, like most English players.

God yeah. Imagine the fantastic places you could live and play in if you had the opportunity and the gumption to do it.

But Ross will probably end up in Russia or summat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Coutinho to Barca...
Number 10 slot open over the park
NW team

Surely not 'doing a Barmby'...?

 

[Jay efc]

If you don't want to be here then your not good enough for this club regardless off talent and being a boyhood blue I honestly think we will have forgotten about him in a few months

I find it telling that the OS has avoided putting anything at all about this up there besides the video. Club trying to do whatever they can to disassociate from the backlash they'll get for failing the supporters and letting one of our better players decide to leave once again. Has the official Twitter account or facebook said anything about those quotes from Koeman today?

On the OS instead it is Koeman talking about how boss we are for selling out Goodison.

He’s got potential, but based on the last two seasons I don’t understand what team he thinks he’ll get in that’s better than us.

He’s not a starter for Spurs or Arsenal, won’t get a look at City, United or Chelsea and could never go the RS.

See if we can throw him Swansea’s way for siggy.

 

[anton66]

Just highlights his weak mentality, good riddance.

He's not very bright, is he? Probably thought there would be a queue of clubs wanting him.

So we blaming these 4 players who, so far, have brought in £100+mill worth of fees and gone to clubs above us....

Yet feel the remaining squad that they were part of we're/are good enough?

By that, it means these players held us back and Ronko should now bring us success.
