He's worth that all day long. Hope he signs - would be our most important one of the summer.
Why would he sign if Koeman doesn't rate him? Surely Ross wouldn't sign for a manager that doesn't rate him and Koeman would rather get the cash for other purchases.
Well so I have been led to believe on this forum.
I hope he signs and I believe Koeman hopes he signs.

Just been told he's going to Spurs. £120k per week.

Also starts to make the buy to sell brigade look a little more foolish

Lukaku staying/end of the window will only see to that mate.
Anything so conclusive before then is foolish.
If he signs, it's because the board have got on with negotiating with him properly and binning off Koeman and his ridiculous deadline. His agent would have probably got him an extra £25k a week and did his job for his client.
It'd be the right outcome for everyone for the next five years and hopefully beyond, instead of the wrong outcome dictated by a manager who will be here another two years tops.
No matter what here, Koeman played this out horribly. If Koeman had his way, we'd lose a player for certain for a fraction of his value for no reason whatsoever. I don't mind Koeman, but when he goofs, he goofs, and people should call it as they see it.
Maybe weve decided gylfi is too much money so weve upped ross' contract terms.
My guess is we were confident of getting gylfi and didnt have a plan b for him.
Maybe koeman thought gylfi/klaassen is a better combo but weve decided hes too much so we'll stick with ross?
Who really knows but id like him to stay

Undermined Koeman/Barkley willing to fight for his place/other club lost interest.
Delete as you see fit.
If he signs, that will be the narrative from certain people - but it's the wrong one.
The correct answer is this thread would be 800 pages shorter if Koeman didn't open his trap, and the player signs his contract in late June/July after negotiations, exactly like he did in 2014 in identical circumstances.

Maybe - maybe not mate
Buy to sell by it's inference (rather than literal) usually means you can only buy when you sell important players mate, right now we can raise 60-80m or so through fringe player sales more than likely, which would say cover are current spend and say Keane.
IF that happened the net spend would be zero, but it wouldn't seem or feel like it had been buy to sell in the slightest would it?
So if lukaku did get sold and we reinvested the entire fee recieved on top of current spend, then shifted the 'dead wood', net spend could still be low but it wouldnt seem at all like a sell to buy situation, but rather very good player trading
Koeman undermined himself. He devalued an asset by putting him up for sale in the public domain after a certain date was passed.
There's no evidence Barkley or his agent have ever sought a move or done anything beyond want to negotiate better terms. Absolutely none.
Occam's Razor situation this - the most obvious conclusion is more often than not the right one. His agent hasn't slagged the club off, Barkley hasn't pressed for a move, Koeman's deadline has been disregarded and the club has left the contract on the table and negotiated it. That points to one outcome, not the others.
