2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Milkman]

Ronald suggesting no firm interest in Ross at present and will be used if not sold.

 

[MikeH72]

it will be a dutch auction till deadline day to call our bluff in keeping him as his price will only go lower!

Someone usually has to make a bid for an auction to start Joey.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Im glad Koeman has said that, as the first stance of he will 100% be sold gives the buying club a huge advantage. If we make it clear that if we dont accept a respectable offer that he will stay, clubs may make realistic offers.

And they were treated like crap by a lot of supporters anyway, despite their loyalty

Osman and Hibbert weren't loyal ffs. Were could they of possibly gone better then us?! It's not like they had loads of top clubs (Or even mediocre ones) lining up for them was it?! Their careers wouldn't of lasted half as long in the top flight if it wasnt for the fact that they were local lads playing for us.

Any footballer who believes in loyalty is a mug. We'll turn on any player in a heartbeat

We'll only ever get loyalty from players when we're prepared to show it to them in-turn

Massive shame, but ultimately we get the sport and club we deserve

Is right Mikey.
I've turned on players who haven't even played a premier league game for us yet.
Got to be the first to say they are crap online nowdays mate.

There are clubs interested in a bargain don't kid yourself!

Good, professional response from Koeman there. He'll remain in the shop window but admits he'll still fully be a part of the squad until he moves on.

It makes no sense, if hes such a talent then someone would have made an offer. Teams would not let a talented player, who has clearly told the world he wants out, possibly leave for a rival for the sake of saving a few quid.

If lampard, scholes even gerrard told their respective clubs they were not signing an extension the bids would be in immediately. Something stinks with this, and the stinks seems to be coming from Ross unfortunately

 

[longers]

Cheered me up a bit that quote, fingers crossed no one comes in for him although I still think Spurs move will happen at last possible moment.

 

[Baines' left foot]

In what world is Barkley one of our two best players?

The real world, mate.

Yup, can't argue with that.

 

[BlueToff]

“I don’t have any update. There is no offer on the table for Ross, that means he will stay at Everton.

“The players has a one year contract and if there is no offer - and maybe the club will not accept the offer because he is a good, young, English player. If somebody wants to buy Ross it’s a big deal.

“If there is no interest then he will stay and be part of the team.

“I respect every personal ambition of every player. Still he is training with Everton, he is part of the team and training in a good way.”

 

[Titus Bramble]

When will the bullying towards Ross from the management stop?

It may be a wage thing as we allegedly made him a very good indeed excellent wage offer {figures vary} - he would look a fool plus his agent will lose out if he was sold cheaply and on a lower wage!
