I remember Pienaar running down his contract and going off to spurs many years ago for a nominal fee. I wonder if Levy has engineered the same stunt here?
Fetch the other Judus Rooney back with open arms fair swap not?
Like you're thnking.
Swap a young mobile Judas, for a clapped out knackered one.
That'll teach them
Surely ross would of needed the clubs permission to talk to another club?

Oh, you sweet summer child.
In the days when phones, computers, Ipads, cars, planes and trains, horse and carriage and donkeys weren't an option to either a) communicate with someone and b) go and get someone to somewhere I'd say you are spot on.

No idea I don't even know if it's true it is however a possibility given that the source actually may have some contacts rather than people on here constantly guessing that a team above us wouldn't dream of buying him simply because they may have once won the league on champ manager or they can't face the fact that he is potentially turning his back on us.

Why would he "like a piece of that" if he can't ( along with the rest of our team) handle big games? If he can't show up against Arsenal, United, Chelsea, Liverpool etc why would you be so sure he'd do something different in the Champions League for instance? And Spurs, whom it seems are the potential subject of the alledged tapping up play at least 6 derbies a year plus play all the big teams Ross and co have failed so spectacularly against for the last four-five seasons.
Thats as far as I got, I have highlighted the important words.

Does he really? Or does he just as much as any other player does?
I mean look:
"He needs to be more consistent."
... but he offers as much as some of the perceived very best players in the league in his role over an entire season.
"He needs to improve his decision making."
... but he creates nearly as many chances as perceived visionaries like Ozil and Hazard at an inferior club.
"He needs to stop getting giving the ball away."
... but he had twice the amount of successful dribbles as Sigurdsson and, as a percentage, gave the ball away during these dribbles less than Sigurdsson. 15% less in fact.
"He needs to pass the ball forward more."
... but again, his forward passing stats and distance covered by passes are directly comparable with the very best in the league.
And so on, and so on.
Stats aren't everything (in fact, they're barely anything), but given how many people bang on about Barkley being "miles off" the top level, it's enlightening to see the evidence available simply doesn't back that up.
A good post Tubey....however, playing Devils Advocate, that would support the price-tag being bandied about of £50M and based on those stats there should be a queue of top teams knocking our door down with offers.
Tubes is insane if he thinks we were getting any above 25m for a player in his last year, regardless of Ronny running his gums.
Who's to say there won't be - the window hasn't opened yet.
We won't get £50m, but it won't be £25m either. It'll be something close to bang in the middle of that.
If he leaves, and that's not certain at all.
