2017/18 Ross Barkley

[DanEFC92]

He doesn't deserve a locker

Niasse didn't leave did he?

Right, you get Ross' locker.

Think he's got about 24 hours to sign a new contract or he's s brave man if he shows up in Liverpool again!!

 

[tadpole]

What happens to him now ? Does he think he can still play for us until next summer ? Wake up and smell the coffee Ross. You've just screwed us out of £35m. If you come on the pitch for us again the fans will rightfully give you hell. You've just given up on what at your age should have been one of the best years of your career. Everyone's a loser out of this, including you.

To be honest, that's the only thing that makes sense at this point - that he got cold feet and wanted to stay at Everton.

I'm not prepared anything that the fraud Moshiri says at this point, so I'm awaiting clarification. But at this point, he's either been horribly advised and wised up at the last possible moment when reality set in, or he's been poorly advised and he's the biggest snake in the history of our club.

It's wait and see time I guess.

Oh ffs tubes, whether he wants to stay or not, he's gone. You cannot screw your club like this and get away with it. This is a set up with Spurs, they announce they are not making a bid just yet, he says no to the Champions. How much crap can the fans take and still believe this little rat is 'one of us'.......

Bit strange that yesterday WRD said this

"Barkley post yesterday, is that him and Koeman have seemed to be getting on the past couple of weeks and differences seems to be easing. Barkley has hinted very much about staying and Koeman seems to be warming to the idea"

Then he rejects Chelsea tonight. Maybe he's actually having second thoughts about a move. I honestly think this is one of them situations where nobody knows whats going on - I dont even think Ross is sure of what he wants.

Everyone knows whats going on, Spurs have agreed something with his agent and he will go on a free in the summer. Hope for his sake he doesnt get a bad injury between now and then with the U23's.

Right, you get Ross' locker.

Just turned up at Palace with Sakho.

 

[bluerobert]

he gets sold his agent gets a nice big cut, the club gets a nice big fee, both their interests to make the move happen.

Maybe for the first time barkley actually stood up and made his own big boy decision.

Said before, i remember how speed was painted by the club and others also who have left

I thought the same until I heard Moshiri give that interview. Sounded to me like he's basically going in January when he gets round to assessing his options

 

[canuckblue]

Would be great if he hasn't been deathly silent since he rejected the contract. No 'kin idea what's going on inside that daft head of his.

Deathly silence, I would imagine.

Wrd is hit and miss

He said we wanted to sign mertens last window I think

The lad is weak he probably started crying because he was homesick

My brain is very tired and confused right now. So what is playing out here!? It's looking bad for Barkley either way....but still extremely unclear what's happened?

OK, so to bullet point:

• Barkley wanted out - that's confirmed now; the 'fresh challenge' stuff was legit.
• Everton agreed a fee of £35m with Chelsea.
• We signed all paperwork, the player agreed terms, everything done and only a medical to do. So he has effectively signed for Chelsea - all parties happy.
• He either had that medical, was about to, or was even half way through it - it doesn't matter either way - when he decided to 'run away from the wedding'.
• Moshiri has said Barkley changed his mind and wants to assess in January.

So the issue is that the player has allowed Everton to get into a position to get £35m for his services, when he's made clear he wants out, and then backed away to run his contract down OR he wants to sign a new deal as he has regrets.

Only one of those two bold bits can be true, and that's what needs clarifying. So there's no middle ground now - he's either realised he's made a mistake and got cold feet, or he's a massive snake who can't be excused by any reasonable minded fan because he's backed away at the last moment to grab a big signing on fee in the summer or in January.

lets just say , he needs to come out with a statement tomorrow. if he says he wants to stay and fight for his place, good , excellent.
but if he says nothing or doesn't sign , then he is the biggest rat in our history.

Nice conspiracy theory but a simple change of heart is more likely imo.

 

[DanEFC92]

Just turned up at Palace with Sakho.

Ah so will sign during the extended deadline?

In all this Ross tomfoolery I've not paid attention.

 

[Taff]

Crazy situation. Agree with a few on here that maybe nobody knows what is going on.

For some reason I can still never imagine him moving.
