2017/18 Ross Barkley

[tommye]

Haven't you been saying that for the last 3 months? Haha

No. I change like the weather. Whatever generates the most fume is usually the preferred option with regards to young Ross.

 

[McBain]

No ones bigger than the club.

If you're not man enough to take some criticism on the chin and learn from it then you'll never make it anywhere with anything that you do.

The person, whose name shall not be mentioned, would be proud of that little explosive, naughty curve ball you've just thrown into the mixer.

I've had time to calm down and think about it. I think this is his Steven Gerrard to Chelsea moment, Gerrard was a similar age when he nearly left that lot but decided to stay (mostly as some of their mentals held his family hostage) but nevertheless he stayed and lead them to Champions League glory.

I fully expect a new contract signed in the next few weeks and for him to knuckle down and get fully fit after his injury and lead our charge into 5th spot.

" lead our charge to 5th spot "

lollollol

 

[COYBL25]

Worse than Hitler imo.

Ash wouldn't agree

 

[Bungle]

He wanted 150k , we didn't want to offer that. He didn't say he didn't want to play for koeman , it was money.
Koemans criticism was to improve him , it did and he played. It wasn't as if koeman forced him in to the reserves.
So I don't but your view tbh bungle mate.
Tbh only Barkley knows and he isn't doing anything honourable, like saying to the fans what his intentions are.

I'm sure his head is all over the place at the moment, we'll have to wait and see what comes out I suppose. I was in the angry mob until last night, hoping he'd be gone, but I've thought about it and I have sympathy with him and think we can find a resolution to welcome him back.

 

[McBain]

The X Rays are just in from Ross Barkleys Medical.

 

[COYBL25]

He's like a new signing lads

 

[MikeH72]

Do not let the anger consume you Michael, lets do breathing exercises together and overcome these issues.

No anger in me mert, I'm in a state of zen tranquility.

 

[Mozza1987]

Unless he signs that contract soon then Barkley is completing shafting his so called 'boyhood' club. Absolute disgrace! Trying to come out saying he didn't turn them down mid medical but does that really matter, he turned down the Champions of England. What is he actually looking for if he doesn't want to be here then? Not getting much better than Chelsea. Either Spurs have tapped him up or Chelsea have told him till wait till January so we can get you cheaper for around £10 million or absolutely nothing. Nice pay day for him and his agent as well. No other explanation for it unless he wants to sign the contract we offered. He is costing the club millions. Should be made to train alone and take his locker away if he doesn't sign.

Oooh. Jim White chatting Ross....

[Barnfred 55]

Just watching Gary Neville on SSN being interviewed on his thoughts on the transfer window. Giving his usual forthright views on all and sundry. When asked about Barkley, a little smile, shake of the head and "haven't got a clue". Sums it up really.

 

[BiggyRat]

Is he using Niasses agent now?

Make sure you're the head end, makes you fart something rotten
