Ross Barkley

[kithnou]

Too busy goosing to worry about a contract. He'll sign when he comes up for air lads.

He'll be in for an unpleasant surprise...

 

[ianefc]

When are we going to have any sort of update on this?

It must just be a case now of not announcing publicly that he will not sign a new deal so we can get the highest fee possible.

Surprised Barkley has turned out like this. Had his dream come true playing for his boyhood club and turning down £100k p/w. Pathetic.

No one knows he has turned it down. Two weeks tomorrow all the non internationals are back in full training, I'd expect developments then.

You only have to look at Spurs net spend over the last few years. They have put together a very strong team without splashing significant sums on players (not by premier league standards anyway). Yet you don't see their supporters complaining.

Won nothing. Supporters will fume in twelve months if they don't next season and they dismantle the team.

All the best heroes have flaws mate, it's what makes them human.

If you're going to take on the forums Colonel Kurtz, I'd suggest you stock up.

Don't let us down, many are counting on you x

* there are others waiting and ready to join the fight, they just need someone to lead them ?.

lollollol

He'd better end up at one of the six clubs above us should he choose to leave, though. And be playing 26+ league games per season. Otherwise LOL at him.

I want him to want to be here.

Negotiations have been going on for a while now, though, I think we can assume that they haven't gone to plan.

That WRD (i know I know) said he wasn't offered one until 2 days before the Arsenal game, he was on holiday the Monday after the Arsenal game. It may be a non issue. I reckon him and Lukaku will be here next season.

He will if he's gone to Thailand.

Although I'm not too fussed if they both leave, it would really show ambition that we want to be the best if we carry on spending and keep them both.

I think it will be one out the two that will stay.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I think the fact we are weeks beyond the ultimatum deadline perhaps points to him staying. This next contract will cover Ross's key years of football.

Net spend. Let's see how that turns out come September.

Net spend is not the "be all and end all" It is what you buy with your money. We could sell ross and rom for £110,000,000 and buy 6 Juan Sebastian Veron's for 180,000,000. Would we be better off with a 70,000,000 net spend. i don't think sn the other hand if we had bought 6 gana gaye's for 45,000,000. we would be in a much better place

Talent is there. Mental strength not.

Stats are stats. Europe's most creative U23 player.

Shows how good Koeman has been for him.

Well that's just absolute garbage.
