It's not as simple as that though.

Yes we would not know the reasons.

But say if he decides to leave for free, then he would cost the club £25m. No gametime he would not get on the plane of the England WC squad.

That's one of my problems with Barkley mate I would like to have heard something from him or his representatives.

The gangsters said he can't talk about it.

Hahaha 'threatened to leave by gangsters'

What for?!

Do they still ride bikes or something? Why can't they get down to London?

Congestion charges mate. If you ask me, London council are the real crooks.

Who's said Ross is injured again, he trained today, did Wazza slide tackle him ?

Sure I read somewhere (don't hold me to it though) that he had a couple of fallings out at Southampton, think one of the players mentioned was Tadic.

I've been saying all along that (IMO like) Koeman and Barkley's relationship has become that strained that there is no going back, and Barkley probably feels the only thing to do is move on.

Every manager has the same problem. He has not lost the dressing room like the previous manager. Koeman may has a few falling outs but they are all deadwoods except Barkley.

Wazza ate him.

Being serious for a second, if Ross stays I will be made up. He is boss and will only get better with the right management

We'll probably hear something more solid in about 48 hours.

Properly be the same 48 hours that the Siggy deal will be done in

Hamstring gone eh? How convenient, reckon he didn't fancy playing in front of the crowd on Thursday. :coffee:

Yeah every manager has a falling out with players, that's why I think Koeman and Barkley have had a falling out.

We have only the manager's words on that.

Here's what Barkley has said during the whole saga Sweet f.a.

And a truly commited "Evertonian"would just stay silent?

If he had it'd have been used to cosh him over the head with.

It was wise to not say a thing. It could even pave a way back for him.

The manager has been driving the megaphone commentary and that's because he wants shut of RB.

As said, I'd consider it a huge victory for common sense if we can inch back from the cliff edge with RB and take it from there in terms of getting him back in the team. That would take an almighty climb down from someone though....

I think they did.

Ideally, we all want them to hug and got on well. I am pretty sure no one want his Everton career to end in this manner.

You clearly haven't been reading this thread too closely.

I would rather he stayed, but if he has told the club that he wants out,the only way back would be for him to come out and say so,all it would take mate is for him to say something a long the lines of he was frustrated with how he was playing and getting dropped by England and he thought a new club would reignite his game etc etc.Im sure the fans would forgive him and then you would find out if it is the manager who doesn't fancy him.
