I suspect this is more about his social life than footy. I also suspect he's making a massive mistake.

Can't go out clubbing without cackin it every time he gets a touch on the shoulder.
 
Couldn't care less about Ross Barkley. The fact he's turned down £100k per week to play for his boyhood club speaks volumes about him as a person.

He's proved he's not consistent enough to hold down a regular place under Koeman and he hasn't got the bottle to fight for his place.

Good riddance to him. There'll only be one winner in this situation and it won't be Barkley. Rodwell MK2.

Let's move on now and get Gylfi sorted as his situation isn't helping anyone.

He'll be leaving for there or Arsenal.

He'll be playing CL football for the next few seasons, that is for sure.

If only we could say that about the players we retain.

He'll only go to one of these if we let him go on the cheap and his wages aren't huge...not because he's a world beater and an automatic first choice for the team but because he'd be useful from the bench...kinda similar to what he'd be for us

Fraudo? Sorry, if you want to deal in those epithets can you first come up with one for the current manager who's won f.a. for a decade and ended our season in early January?

As opposed to the manager who relegated a stable Premier League side and despite one good season with us took us back to four years of development behind Spurs?

You know what Dave, I've finally had enough. I can't be arsed. It's not even reasoned debate, you just chat wham.

I appreciate that isn't worthy of banning and everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but yours changes like the wind.

You've beat me.

Oh no mate...they always look to sign rubbish players those clubs.

We need a proper CF and a CB and a playmaker.

We have acquired players who, in theory, will help us spread goals around the team.

Ross got 9 assists and 5 goals last year. Gylfi got 13 and 10 respectively. Rooney got 5 of each and I dare say he'll score 15 at least for us this year.

Sandro - once he settles - is an excellent player. Same with Klaassen.

So two more additions and yes, I think we have. We'll be playing in an entirely different way.

Change is good. We've not done anything with this old squad, so sack it, if players want out, let them leave. They've brought us no success. Nada.

Just reading your post made me chuckle - Essentially we are putting a lot of emphasis on hope. Hope Rooney scores 15, hope Sandro & Klassen settles in. But one thing is clear - we are atleast trying to move from 1 main goal scorer to distribute the goal scoring across MF & Fwd line.

But regardless, I am skeptical, until I see these new players play in PL. Hence my problem with selling Barkley to another top6 and strengthen them.
