Ross Barkley

[Jokerdan]

Is he still here?

That's one take on the state of play at our club that I don't think should be dismissed. Debated with, yep, but I wouldn't dismiss this lightly.

It only takes a few bad decisions to set a club back, as we saw under the last boss where one moment you are being open-minded and saying oh...McGeady/Cleverly/Kone/Niasse are ok and can do a job for the money spent. They are just squad options. ...then fast forward a couple years and you are wondering why we stink and our squad is full of crap that need jettisoning urgently.

The purchases of Bolasie and Stek keep me mindful of a similar outcome under this regime, where we are looking back in a couple of years and wondering WTF!?

Exactly. All that glitters now is the next manager's trash he'll throw out likely as not.

Twas ever thus.

Everton are making a mistake saying 50 for Ross, they need to be sensible, 25m is about right

"We've lost stones and we will lose lukaku and maybe Barkley but I think long term we will be stronger under Moshiri."

To get stronger we'll first have to replace the talent haemorrhaging from the club THEN buy quality on top of that...and the evidence of his first season here with the lowest net spend we've had in three seasons shouldn't fill anyone with confidence all that spending will happen. Add to that mix a manager who apparently wont be around more than another two seasons and a director of football who is just a chief scout and therefore not capable of overseeing transitions in management and you have a recipe for a big fat turd sandwich.

We've only actually lost one player so far and he's been replaced at least short term (our defence improved massively this season too....) and a long term solution will be sorted this summer at CB.

So we are hardly haemorrhaging. If you think we'll sell Ross and rom without replacing them then you're barking.

Replaced with who, though. We won't be signing a player as good as Rom.

Again, for those that missed it last night. Barkley to West Ham is a done deal. Spurs aint happening.

 

[kenada_blue]

reports we want 50 m for RB?

That's what we've put on him, but it's not what we'll get.

Wtf? Arsenal I heard.

 

[Pour les Bleus]

Would be hilarious if Barkley joined West Ham! The guy must be thicker than most of us imagine!

Ross has been in london all week, and he has agree'd terms with West Ham and a price has been agreed. I promise you all this is happening.

 

[Joey66]

If he has goning to West Ham our club is in trouble - losing a player of his talent to that bum team is a disgrace!
It would have to be mega money surely!

I won't believe this unless you confirm that Mata is ours........

Gonna throw a few bob on in it at the bookies.

Should be able to retire early.
