Ross Barkley

This saga has cast a shadow over what most view as a most positive transfer window. Although I want Barkley to stay I fear we've seen the last of him in a Blue shirt.

Koeman set his stall out - rightly or wrongly - and said he'd be sold if he's not signing as he had to prepare for the new season. He is the manager and calls the shots regarding team selection, so as preseason gathers momentum the longer any contract goes unsigned the less likely it'll ever be.

Koeman doesn't strike me as someone who says one thing but does another and he holds the power as to who plays for Everton each week or not.

There's a lot of media talk of Spurs as a destination should Ross move but I don't rule Man City out of the final equation. They've offloaded numerous squad players in midfield and top end of the pitch in Nolito, Navas & Zabaleta ended up playing centre mid! Likely departures of Bony, Nasri and Iheanacho - I think even the most casual observer would say Ross is stronger than Delph - so despite some arrivals there would appear to be space for another attacking midfielder.

The amount of possession City tend to have in games would suit him - yet they often fail to create chances - seems to suggest a potential squad role does exist. Added to the fact Ross would have less defensive duties than required at Everton I can see a late move for him and let's face it wages won't be an issue.

All conjecture, but I remember the picture of him and Stonesy some years back watching City in a CL game and thought at the time it was more than coincidence. I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity if presented.

May never happen but nothing surprises me now in football. I hope he stays as we are stronger with him in our ranks but one thing is sure it'll get resolved shortly one way or the other.

Man City hahaha. They struggle so much to create chances don't they, with only De Bruyne, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Sane and Sterling to choose from in those positions. What they're crying out for is Ross Barkley.

Link me up where he's been described as this so I can see what the context is please mate.

Again, would you say it's fair to comment that you have a slight obsession with our boy Ross Barkley on here?

Obbsession with Barkley? It's the ross Barkley thread ...
I'm not obsessed it's just I like to reply to post I get ... as I don't want to be compared to dave by not answering or just ignoring people when they reply to me.. thing is every time I say I don't rate ross about 10 people start to act as though I have insulted one of their children. So I have to post to all of than and so on.

I would like to post a link but to be honest I'm pretty crap with technology and only have an iPhone ...you can check my posts I have never posted a link from memory and that is the reason why.

I believe it was warnock that first mentioned it and I believe hodson felt the same and there were a few pundits saying that they heard rumours that he couldn't be coached
 
They only way Ross will ever play in the Champions League for Spurs is either if they have an injury crisis or he plays in a dead rubber match with their best players rested. The idea of Ross getting in the Tottenham starting eleven on a reguler basis is laughable.

Would you say your campaign of negative Barkley posting is a bit excessive though mate?

If they referenced Barkley being uncoachable then it was in a positive context relating to his natural talent. You tried to turn that into a negative which could reinforce the point I'm trying to make above mate.

I'd agree with that currently although there's been speculation that Barcelona are interested in Alli. If that turns out to be true it might explain why they want Ross.
 

Could've been an Everton legend, but has lost his way and for whatever reason doesn't have the application or desire to fulfill his potential here. Good luck to him, wherever he ends up, but he's deluded if he thinks he's ever going to get more money and a bigger club than what was on the table here. He'll probably end up at Hull or Middleborough in a few years...

It was something along the lines of "there is a concern in the England camp that he is uncoachable "

It wasn't uncoachable like Messi ...
