Sometimes, Barkley has done brilliant things for Everton on the pitch...but is it only me who thinks that at present his game lacks any kind of consistency? This may well come , of course, and there is no doubt that Ross can be a very good player. I can't recall a RUN of great games he has played, and sometimes he disappears from games for a length of time. The point I am making, is that despite the hype, it is not a guarantee that Ross will become 'a world star' ,' the best of his generation' or anything. He is still a 'young, developing player'. He has had one major injury, already, and has missed the start of this season through injury. Hopefully he will not become 'injury prone'. When he returns to the Everton line up he will have pressure to perform like never before, because others will be pushing for his place. He may well become a superstar, but it is not, as some believe, a certainty.Given the way football is at present, anything above £55-60 million would be a good deal for Everton, and it is Everton that matters. Even if we got Bale type money, which wouldn't happen yet in the case of Ross, we would spend it in a better way than Spurs have done. Most( no...all)Prem clubs are prepared to sell their 'best' players if the time is right and the money is right.
