Koeman: "Barkley looking for a new challenge"

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

He played every week last season, and we offered him a bumper new contract.

Who else was there to replace him with? We have particularly targeted that position of the pitch for new signings. Why?

Can we automatically threadban anyone who suggests anything like "it's because of the fans lad, they're too harsh on him mate".

Possibly because he refused to sign the new contract despite the club putting a deadline on his decision. Just a thought like

How's it Koemans fault ? He wants him to stay , and has offered him a lucrative contract .

It's Koemans fault because he was nasty to Ross and hurt the poor lads feelings when said the lad wasn't as good a player as he could be if he actually worked hard to improve his game. What a wicked slavedriver!

 

[BlueToff]

That will do

you might have to change it again at 10.30 tonight like when Joyce says we've ended interest and have moved onto 'other targets', in which case...

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Laters.

I hope he is booed every time he returns the traitor turncoat

As I've said in other threads over the months, every other player leaving I understood.

Gosling, Lescott, Rooney, Arteta etc.

With Barkley, I just think it's bonkers.

He genuinely wants Champions League football, and prompted further by not having his backside kissed by Koeman.

Still, over the years we've all constantly bemoaned a bottling mentality. Ross Barkley epitomised that.

For all the raw ability, and despite the romantic "local academy lad" - Barkley isn't good enough to be an integral part in Everton's team to reach the level above us.

Shift him out, he hasn't got the will, or the fight to improve his game and compete for his place which he has had guaranteed for years. Bring Sigurdsson in, twice the player.

Brutal, da boss is brutal

He'll have a part to play when we only get £25mill for him
