Said this would happen

You can read everton like a book.

He will continue to be "injured" and "unfit" until sold. He will never play for us again. Same is happening with Coutinho. Clubs think us fans are stupid

Ah, a hamstring injury. Wouldn't you just look at that.

Conspiracy theory time

Threatened to leave by 'gangsters', can't sign a new contract or loses his knees, Hernia op, followed by a hamstring injury means he will have basically injured for all but about 4-5 days of the transfer window, only club seriously tapping him up, he makes a demand that every man and his dog knows that Spurs can't and won't get even close too.

Does make you wonder if we are just seeing an elaborate buying for time to sort out a mess he's gotten himself into with his off field activities

Hope he's crocked just enough to get past the window and then signs an extension.

We need to make sure players like Barkley and Dowell are still at the club should there be a change in management.

it's one of the weirdest cases of a player leaving a club i can remember, almost like the lad doesn't really want to leave

Apart from the whole not signing a contract thing, I agree with you.
Even when he scored at the back end of the season (just after he was sparked iirc) and jumped into the crowd pointing at the badge. Certainly didn't look like a player who would be looking for a move any time soon.
Having said that though, footballers can be dead weird.

*gangsters* my arse.

Do you think someone could put the frighteners on an Everton player (or Liverpool for that matter) in this city and just force one out?

The clubs are the two biggest institutions in the place. No one would be allowed to successfully move against a player like that. It does not stack up whatsoever.

It does seem odd, to be generous, but in the absence of any peeps from Ross, actual valid reasons for wanting to move, and basically, the vacuum around this saga, any half credible theories will gain traction.

And their is a narrative that could be built to support this scenario after all.

Can't say this to often but @davek I agree with you 100%.
