Player Valuation: £35m
Can we say without doubt that Everton is the best place for the arm around the shoulder treatment, that's the treatment required and do we know for certain that Koeman is the man to deliver that? I'd be reluctant to say one way or another as I don't know either guy and don't work with them day in, day out.
I'd also argue that in the current market any transfer fee under £40M wouldn't really be seen as a big money move.
If a scenario similar to that has played out then I'd say recovering from such a breakdown in a professional relationship is going to be difficult. Barkley may well be aware that hard work and consistency are required but he may not be willing to do it for Koeman and I doubt Ronko is the kind of guy who will bend over backwards to appease a player with that kind of attitude when he can just get someone else in.
I know what you are saying , but he has been here since he was 11.
so on both counts he will get the arm around the shoulder more and 40 million is a big money move , because of that fact of being a one club local 'everton kid' and not some paycheck chasing journeyman. just my opinion.
