Ross Barkley

[trueblue10]

Spurs face having to pay midfielder Moussa Sissoko to leave the club having spent £30m on the 27-year-old last summer,



ha,ha,ha,ha

No chance

Agreed, No chance about annoucnement. Its way too early. I expect to drag till august, even if a fee is agreed. But salary part makes sense given Spurs wage cap is generally 70-90k. But Barkley settling for 90k , not so sure.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Can you tell me exactly how we bottled it with Roms fee
75 m cash
15 m in achievable add ons ( if rumours are correct )
Rooney for free ( worth at least 10 m of anybody's money
And here the kicker
Half of Rooneys wages paid for 2 years
That's 15 million pounds.
Tell me one club in the PL that would not have taken Rooney for 10m and half his wages paid
The 2 deals were linked from the start
You're posting drivel to suit your agenda the same way you do with your net spend crap
You're like a less intelligent pup out of Davek

He's fuming that we didn't get enough for Rom. But if we'd got more he'd be fuming even more about net spend

Another net spend cry arser in the Sugurdson thread was complaining we should be getting someone with more sell on value as well.

Don't get the logic

No I mean someone tells a mate who tells a mate etc

Oh you mean someone on the weasel index

 

[txlabc1]

what fee do they suggest?

Nothing on that
Just this line
'Woke up to text from friend associated with club. Should be announced today nowhere near the £150k mirror are saying. 90 plus bonuses'

If there is such a thing as Karma, then this episode is surely that.

Either do they
Logic and those type of posters will never be bedfellows

 

[Brisan123]

Are we on a break?

It's sad that you knew that term
And it worries the he'll out of me that I knew what you were talking about
I'll have to get out more

The whole 'they've fallen out' argument is null and void, imo.

Koeman clearly rates Ross. He's sanctioned a big contract offer - larger than Spurs will pay him - to keep him.

But he wanted better from him and for all the good Ross did, his goal return and assist return isn't good enough consistently for him to not be challenged by new players coming in.

It may just be a case of Ross wanting out to try and better himself, which while I don't agree with it, I respect that is an option and it's his career.

The thing I'm arsed about is not letting the club know by the end of last season.

Maybe keeping his options open. Which is also another option he has.

The longer this saga goes on, the worse Ross looks. Surely both he and his agent realise this.

Sounds like he dreamt it.

 

[a bell maul]

Just skimmed the last half dozen pages of overnight stuff. All of It - still - circumstantial. Most of it calling him greedy, thick, Judas, what have you. A spectrum of 'exclusives' from £15m to Spurs to demanding £150k a week - just lean back in your chair and look at how ridiculous this nonsense is!

The only thing we can truly say is that there is NO info on him or his situation. Nature likes to fill a vacuum, and so we get all this pseudo-ITK tosh and armchair journalism.

What I wonder though is what Ross's state of mind is through all this. For the last 2 months hes been in limbo - maybe of his own making. For the last 3 weeks he will have woken up every morning not knowing his next move perhaps. And yet he is painted as a greedy judas that is bleeding the club and stalling our progress.

I don't know what's happening, but the fact that it's taking so.long and there's absolutely no comment from either side suggests there's a deal that's waiting on another. It could be Spurs holding out till TDD, or it could be Ross waiting to see what we'd pay Siggi.Or something else.

Either way, if he signs and stays, I'm sure the club will have a sugar-coated alibi for the whole process (Ross desperately wanted to stay all the time and we wanted to get the deal right for him, or summat...). And we'll still be able to love Ross.

And if he goes... then he'll get both barrels of the Greedy Judas treatment! lol

Excellent summation of the imbroglio

 

[Baines' left foot]

I doubt it. You know what twitter and rumours are like

However we did bottle it with Rom's fee, I think with Ross the longer we leave it the more we are going to have to accept his price is reducing daily

You are painfully boring.

He probably will churn out the old line, "wants CL football".

Joyce has already told us he has refused the contract, failing to see why any evertonians are still in this lads camp.

He clearly thinks he can do better, so ship this rotten apple out asap, either sell or put him in the U23's, get somebody in committed to the cause.

[Abertonian]

I'd tell him he cant leave and risk losing him for nowt next summer.
