Ross Barkley

[coollino]

Only Oxbridge graduates can play for Everton now, pass it on.

Would make for a good rugby team

Couldn't care less about Barclay now, can't remember him influencing a game like Cahill did, he might not have been as skilful as RB but you could rely on him to pop up when we needed something, Barclay hasn't scored a Derby goal or even took a Derby match by scruff of neck, he can't even make the England squad and Jake Livermore can, time to move on and sign better players

It is actually very hard to argue with any of those points IMO.

He won our hearts.

It made for a weird trophy room mind you.

If Ron and Everton really wanted Ross, he'd be signed up by now. Another 10k per week on to the existing offer and a 1 year sell clause of around £30-40 million would be my play. Then it's all about his performance. Play well enough that the "big boys" want him, they'd pay that and we might want to renegotiate at that point too. Then again, when someone wants to go, sometimes it is better to let them.

hes probably still on holiday!
while you add 2+2 and make 5!

Jake Livermore point is stupid, Barkley is clearly a superior player regardless of England squad. Anyone claiming otherwise needs to have a word with themselves.

 

[degsy]

Settle for your 100K a 'kin week! be a squad member, take your chances and if that involves pulling finger and applying yourself well tough. After all you might be getting in on the ground floor of some thing good...

Unless you've been tapped up and know exactly where you're going.

I look forward to us signing the much touted Johnthon Smith-Smythe-Smythe and the ever so less touted Fergus Fotheringham-Smythe IV

totally different players aswell, yeah midfielders, but that's where the comparison ends

 

[evertonarntwe]

people who still call him Barclay or barcley, have a word with yourselves it's not difficult to spell his name

Well yes, no need to compare him to others, just look at where he is.

His manager is not 100% sure about him by the looks of it, the last 3 international managers the same.

He's not a kid any more and its all well and good looking the part against Hull and Burnley at home, but he needs to deliver more on a consistent basis.

Definitely a player there, just not sure how good he could be if he applied himself a bit more.

We've been here before.

Try this in Microsoft excel.

2.4+2.4=5

shows as 2+2=5 when you format cells to 0 decimal places.

How good would it have been had Gerald Sinstadts' (former ITV commentator) son played pro...

"There's only one Tarquin Sinstadt, one Tarquin Sinstadt..."

And we've veered off topic

The new Everton five man midfield.

They may be crap at football but at least they're not "slow" eh.

 

[hktoffee]

Is right HK

The problem is that I don't think he get along with Koeman. Barkley is a local lad, still young and is talented. I guess the majority will love him to sign a new deal.

 

[chicoazul]

eh it depends what you want for Everton - a club that carries passengers because they are locals or a club that puts the best team on the pitch week in week out. Ross doesn't fit with what Ronald wants... In terms of footballers, and what they have achieved, I'm going to stick with Ronalds judgement on how Everton should play over Ross'.

Once again it's out of towners hating on scousers.

Why do you support Everton mates if you hate the people so much? Driving our boy away from Everton, it's a DISGRACE.
