It would be amazing if he stayed. We need our best players in the squad, not being shipped off to competitors for bargain prices.

Rooney, Sigi, Ramirez, Barkley, Klaassen, Mirallas, Lookman, Bolaise. That's a very competitive selection of talent supporting the striker.

He wont play. Ronko will make sure of that

I don't think Koeman likes him as a player. I think he sees him as undisciplined and wasteful and not a clever enough footballer. And he may well not like him as a person either. But I don't get the impression Koeman is the type to let personality enter his team selection. If Barkley stays and plays the way Koeman wants him to, effectively and helping the team win matches, then he'll be happy with that. He's been around long enough, and probably been disliked by enough managers himself, to know that only results matter.
 

6 weeks for a grade 3 hamstring strain though?
Someones been drinking the specialist's Koolaid if so, I'd have his prognosis more-so in months than weeks.
Grade 3 is a complete rupture, and can be very difficult to recover properly without re-injury given the crucial role of hamstrings in decelerating gait making it quite a complex rehabilitation.

He may dig his heels in then though and not go knowing he will get more money in the summer. We will have to wait and see what happens, can't see him playing much for us though other than league cup and maybe on a Thursday.

I like Ross. He's acted cowardly throughout all this in my opinion but i'd be happy if he stayed because he is a good player and you can never have enough of those. If he leaves though i just don't think i'd be arsed which is a bit sad really but all of his making as far as i'm concerned.

I think he's definitely that manager that will hold a grudge. He made him look like a tit

I can pull quotes from no more than a week ago saying exactly the opposite from the man himself.
But ok.

He also offered deadlines out that never existed. He also said he's got no time for players that dont want to play for us.

Ronko doesn't seem like the forgiving type.

It certainly is and the hardest job will be keeping them all happy.

Against teams that park the bus we could play 4231 and Barkley could be one of the 2 CMs.
 

This injury is probably a clever ploy to allow the window to pass and then Ross will sign a massive new contract while saying he didn't really want to move anyway.......

Who said it was a grade 3 like?
 
I wonder how much he has half arsed pre-season with us angling for a transfer to ensure that the first few days of solid work he's done all summer makes him hamstring tear? His move is surely dead now, hamstring tears are notorious for reoccurring if not allowed time to fully heal so the initial six weeks prognosis is likely to be nothing more than a yardstick.

He/His advisors have let him down so badly, he's facing possibly six months of a world cup year in exile at a club he doesn't want to be at.
