2017/18 Ross Barkley

He can eff off the horrible worm

I know the majority are out for blood with Ross, and I 100% want him to stay, but why are people flying off the handle on limited info ?

For him to make a move this summer there would have to be an option the player actually wants...no? If he has turned down the young player graveyard of Chelsea why do people assume it's to just go to them free in Jan?

And if he goes to Spurs for free in Jan surely that means Spurs just weren't willing to pay the dosh this summer? Is that the players fault? Maybe Spurs is his preferred option and in that case why should he ignore that just because the club wanted him gone to Chelsea?

Just putting the questions out there. Haven't exactly thought it fully through, but it seems the majority of posts in the last while are jumping the gun in their haste to castigate the player.

Mate, our chairman has gone on SSN and said he wants to keep his options open for January.

Pretty cut and dry really.

Something doesn't smell right about the whole thing, am going to see what comes out in the next 48 hours before leaping to conclusions because as you say even if he was trying to screw the club the way it went down makes no sense.

Yes. This is an incredibly strange situation, and it's only getting stranger.

I dont get how he's apparently passed a medical when he's injured, though. Do they just check he's still got both legs and give him an eye test?

They acknowledge a preexisting condition, examine but in full awareness of it and take on the liability that it won't be a recurrent one/something that will effect him long term.

It happens all the time. The medical would have focused on all other aspects of his condition.

Despite my previous #banterous post, it's all heart scans, body composition, muscle measurement and stuff.

Full Purple Aki.
No wonder he jibbed it halfway through.

Oh, give it a break. You've been saying he wants a career, develop himself, earn more money, be in the CL etc etc . Well a deal was done so Everton made some money, he was going to the Champions, apparently the personal money was OK, but no it wasn't enough for him. Pray tell just what is good enough for him........

Presumably Spurs. Like anyone in the world, he's free to choose where he works. I know football fans have trouble with this concept though.

Pretty sure you can pass a medical with a hamstring

He's not broke his legs

Wait until he gets back to Liverpool

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

No way he'd have passed that.

Didn't even try, just demanded to play hungry hippos instead so they sent him back.

 

[everton2004]

Don't profess to be an expert on medicals but how is it possible he could have passed one with a hamstring injury that'll keep him out for months?
Sounds like the club were keen to accept a balance the books deal from Chelsea but Barkley simply refused because he wants to go to Spurs.

What Dom King is reporting is at odds with what Moshiri said - fee agreed, personal terms agreed, changed his mind after the medical.

Phew! Made up for the lad! Hopefully they'll give him the extra 5k per week he's after!

Look, you know I'm a Barkley fan, and all that would have made sense - if he hadn't agreed terms with the club, had a medical arranged and, by dropping out, effectively robbed us of £35m at the latest possible moment.

That's the killer for me. He agreed to the move, and then suddenly didn't. If Chelsea's bid had came in and then he put his cards on the table and said no, then fine. Not ideal, but fine. But to do this... it's a new level of dickishness if the reason is to run out his contract.

[efcfanwirral]

it's clear we don't have any chance of signing anyone else so does it really matter? We aren't accountants so as fans really an extra body in the squad is better for us especially as Rooney now has to be our striker til at least January
