Ross Barkley

[CynicalBlue]

I said they had the same level of performance.

Ah good, alas Ross is far less consistent in my opinion.

REPORTER: "So...your 20 goal a season striker looks like he's missing out on the golden boot for not scoring in over a month and your main creative player hasn't decided his future. Both want out in the summer. How's the transfer plans going?"

RK: "We have Troy Deeney in the bag. Next question"

I just wanted the chance to call Coutinho a 1 in 25 utter midget.

 

[Moomin]

I hope we replace him with Lee " Heart of a Lion " Cattermole

 

[EveBlue]

I know we all want him to be brilliant, and want him to stay loyal. But is he actually any good? im not so sure. IMO, if he goes we have better players already. If we get offered silly money id sell definitely and sort out or GK and defending positions

 

[Groucho]

Same level of performance as Coutinho, who is often looked at as wurld klass, do you think Coutinho is world class?

Personally, nah.

 

[stamullenblue]

He was told the deal. Sign or leave within a week. He's off simple as ! Not the end of world for me !

World class?? To me this means deserves a place in a World X1 if we ever arrange a game against another dodgy planet eg Uranus. No way would Coutinho nor Barkley make the squad, you only have to look at who they would compete against just in the EPL, Hazard, Sanchez etc.

I agree.

I wasnt suggesting either are world class, I was just saying that Coutinho is considered it by kopites and the meeeeeja.

Kopites believe they have a squad of 23 world class players and if you dare to disagree you're just a bitter bluu laad

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I don't think he's guaranteed playing time at Everton next season, if we get the players we probably want to get.

Him keeping quiet can be a negative too - quiet on the pitch isn't always a good thing. Quiet off the pitch when the manager is publicly expressing frustration with him to make his mind up over signing a contract isn't good either.

Good luck to the lad if he wants to leave but I'm with Groucho - Barkley is replaceable and I don't think he'll get a starting place at another club as good or as big as Everton.

Just because he is replaceable doesn't mean the fans need to be butthurt.

Let's be honest our wage structure is p**s poor

Yup. Even if Ross were to sign the new contract, James Milner would still be on substantially more than him.

I can just see a tearful Kenwright comparing Troy to Tommy Lawton, Dixie Dean and Alex Young.

So would a lot of less talented players at United City Chelsea who sit on the bench
We can only pay what we can afford.
We pay more than Spurs by all accounts
