I see this quite often on GOT. The whole persecution complex about your players being linked with other clubs. I don't understand why you find it so upsetting and so ridiculous. You're not a top 4 club and as such you have to accept that if/when top 4 clubs come knocking you generally end up selling. For every one Baines situation, there's loads of Lescotts, Fellainis, Rooneys etc.
Within the context of the current crop of players, it stands to reason that Barkley is the one who is getting the most press because he's English and he has the most potential. The likelihood of you keeping hold of him for any significant amount of time is pretty slim if we go off what has happened in the past both at Everton and around the league.
