2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Joey66]

We did? He turned it down.

He should have been sold last January then

A recent article suggested he had no intention of going until he ran into big problems with Liverpool's gangster element. Was it because he goosed some head honcho's missus? Not sure, the article hinted at that but did not specifically state that.
Anyway, suddenly Ross gets the warning 'get out of town or else'. The article didn't actually call Ross as thick as a tyre sandwich, but again, the suggestions toward his lack of mental acuity were hinted.
Apparently the gangsters have given Ross til the transfer window slams shut to get out of town.

Music to the Fat Spanish Waiter's ears. "Ho'way the lads!"

Because Lukaku made it clear he wanted out the day he joined the club Joey. We offered him a new deal to ensure that when he did leave we'd make a much bigger profit. The club didn't foresee the local lad and supposed Evertonian screwing us over so they felt no need to act like he would and prepare for the worst. Furthermore we offered him a new deal with 18 mounths on his current contract anyway.

So the club are gullible then?

 

[Joey66]

The contract we offered, whilst a great wage, did not include a release clause of circa £70m that his agent wanted in it. And we would never have included one in it at that level.

Figure it out Joe.

The club should have figured it out and sold him in January then?

Nope....they didn't think "one of our own" would screw us over. Harsh lesson learned for future "local lads".

Newcastle have told Raffa he has to sell to buy!

 

[Joey66]

It's sad that an alleged boyhood blue is refusing to remain part of the club for whatever reason but it's all down to him and nobody else. I wouldn't put Ross in the category of the other two though. I'll be slightly disappointed when/if Ross goes but I'll be far more angry that the little snake has screwed us over.

It will be a big loss our two better players leaving we have to fill the void!

???

If you think Koeman is making it up, good luck to you mate.

Look how we looked after Gibson he was not a boyhood blue !

Klaassen and Gylfi are more than adequate replacements for this chap so it is already taken care of.

You can't sell when nobody wants him Joey.

Two players for one man cost 77 million great stuff!

 

[Joey66]

Sell what?

Exactly ?

Hard when in his prime time not for sale!
