Ross Barkley

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Hope he stays as his skills will translate to doing well in the Europa league against lesser sides.

Need to save our good midfielders for the league - Gana/Schneids/Davies/Dutch Naisy

I'd be selling for £30m if he definitely isn't going to sign, why let him go on a free when you could get a replacement for the same price.

Good to see us playing hardball with Spurs, as long as we get 30m + ill be happy no mater how late we sell in the window

 

[Joey66]

Spurs annonce they will wait till deadline day for a knock down price sky news announces!
Typical Daniel Levie - I hope Ross sees sense no way will he get a game there anyway

It's Arteta all over again

We defo will, there's only a year left on the contract. £50m is a pipe dream.

 

[BiggyRat]

As long as we get what we paid for him...oh wait...up yours Spurs!

It's a price of what his talent is worth - I think he will sign for us in the end of this debarcle!

I hope you are right I really do but Spurs I dont think are like City and Everton always play very hard when it comes to selling, but we also have to take into account the running down of the contract and Spurs having a squad that is far better then Ross. Hopefully Spurs stalling might flush out Mike Ashley

Is it really though ?? £25 million minimum for Keane, and he has 12 months lesft also.

Spurs are playing silly games Ross will sign for us before joining Newcastle imo!

People really believe Barkley would go to Newcastle...

Anything but accept the very good player he is. I don't understand our fans sometimes.

 

[davies1878]

Spurs would most likely have to break their relatively low wage structure to bring him in, which will cause undoubted hassle with the other players contracts,
For a player who will not start ahead of Alli.

Just cannot see it happening

I feel like he has overplayed his hand

 

[degsy]

Would be great if Ross stayed but not as the playmaker he clearly isn't. He doesn't think fast enough for it or else second guesses too much...he'll turn a bit and often keep the ball as he's strong but it slows things up. He said he was watching Ozil and Silva to learn from them but they think fast and maybe coz they're smaller have learned they get clattered if they don't decide quickly.
When Ross plays instinctually he's outstanding I feel and having less responsibility would help him in that regard. Lukaku said RM was all about Ross and him in training which did something for his confidence but didn't change the fact he's not a natural number 10.
On the wing he'd be class for us if he were able to accept that. Forgive me for mentioning him but Gerrard played from the wing one season, wasn't too happy about it but it was arguably his best season for the RS...
I'd hate to see Ross go to Manure and get constant grief from Moaninho or Spurs and not get a game. He could stay and be a local legend in the Blue revival

But won't be - ever- anywhere.
Not here
Not somewhere else even less

The quicker we get some half decent money from somebody the better - he's been badly advised.

Edit; Not to say he won't earn a solid living at the game - but Legend - nah.
