2017/18 Ross Barkley

[roydo]

If that did happen it underlines my point about where the real power lies.

Quite.

The story was in the Gerrard situation was that the said bad lads wanted him to stay at Liverpool.

Sommet about the £10000 pw they picked up from him, for "their trouble"

Apparently, allegedly, probably nonsense, etc etc.

There's a very real chance Ross could be surrounded by yes men telling him he's the greatest thing ever, it's gone to the lads head

Anything that makes its way into Ross' head must quickly feel very lonely...

Maybe Carragher put a hit out on him, like he threatened to do with Lucas Neill.

There's one man who can sort this out.....

"Mr Ryazantsev will see you now"

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.

This really. "No probs lad, but if you're here after the window shuts though watch your back"..... are we sure it isn't Spurs mobsters.....

Southampton.

This Ryazantev fella is a bit underwhelming. Everton's negotiating style hasn't changed a bit with him there, and the Barkley/gangster embroglio continues to simmer...

 

[Steve Wigan]

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.

Well, there was once a manager named Ferguson who regularly fell out with his players, and he didn't do so badly......

 

[Tin-Tin]

When gerrard was leaving ,that was also due to his of field activities.The club stepped in and smoothed things over and nothing more was said.

The club didnt do anything


John Kinsella, was a known gangster charged with tying up a security guard during a £41,000 robbery. Gerrard and his father, Paul, were happy to vouch for the defendant's character in an open letter to the court.

Kinsella, the jury heard, had earned their gratitude by persuading a notorious criminal, George Bromley Junior, to call off a campaign of intimidation and extortion against the footballer. The self-styled enforcer "took steps", as he euphemistically put it to the court, and Bromley paid heed.

"We were at our wits' end when we were introduced by a family friend to John Kinsella," the letter concluded. "From that time we have never had any more problems from the Liverpool underworld."

It's conjectured that a quid pro quo has been engineered between conflicting parties (obviously Ross had to have it explained in simpler terms than that ie "keep shtum pal, and ya got til the transfer window slams shut before you vamoose...kapeesh?")

Wasn't Bromley murdered up Breck rd

Poor Ross.

Yeah, I guess the moral of the story is don't goose gangsters' molls.
