2017/18 Ross Barkley

[a bell maul]

I think the moll has to take a lot of responsibility. She would have taken advantage of Ross's IQ 'vulnerabilities' .
Whatever, it's a big mess which is costing Everton

Didn't someone say Sportpesa are basically the Russian Mafia? Can't they sort it?

I like how he's pissed off some gangsters, but they respect the transfer window and allow him this time to find a new club and the opportunity to earn millions doing what he loves.

They sound like thoroughly nice blokes.

If only Rooney can get a clear the room talk for Barkley and Koeman...oh well. To leave Everton when the club is going in the right direction at a crucial time. Just odd.

I think Rooney is the last player to give that talk

Only they are actually Bulgarian owned and based in Africa.

Besides that your spot on

If he keeps shtum, the gangsters have given him till the window slams shut...well that's what's being conjectured.
It's a rum situation for sure

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Hasn't he gone yet?

Albanian? Nasty

 

[DanB90]

He should just hire the A-Team.

Put a car on for him, so I've been told. to get out of Town. So they can't be all bad.

I seriously can't bealieve all the nonsanse people are coming out with to explain Barkley's decision to leave. The gangster thing is pure nonsense and I don't buy into Koeman pushing him out either. For me this whole thing stinks off Barkley's thinking he's better then he actually is and wanting to play in the champions league without taking into account that he wouldn't make the first team of the sides he'd have to move to to get champions league. To top it off he's been horribly advised by his people who obviously don't really care about his long term playing prospects. They're telling him what he wants to hear not what he really needs to hear. Short term losing Ross might hurt us a bit but it will do irreparable damage to his career.

There are quite a few private security contractors that can be hired for protection. A lot of the personnel are ex special forces types. I imagine Ross' management team have made enquiries but who knows for sure. Maybe there is an undercover detail trailing him now?? Probably a not unwise precaution, given your garden variety gangster ain't the most trustworthy type.

I reckon if there was any truth in these gangsters rumours Mosh would have a quiet word with his boss
Usmanov would send the lads around for tea and biscuits with the bold boys and everything would be sorted.
Do you not think billionaires have friends and associates from all walks of life.
Abramovich got his divorce sorted cheaply after an afternoon tea meeting
