2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Hangleton]

Let him rot in U14 with no game-time and no first team training for him. He screwed us for getting £35m yesterday.

He's been at the club for more than 12 years, I don't see how he's "screwed us" - it seems to me more like our manager (who has been here about a year) is prepared to cash him in - sure he's been offered a new contract, but there have also been 3 or 4 signings in his position.

So you think he should value getting Everton a bigger fee over choosing the club thats right for him ?

That seems the be the general (and utterly delusional) view of our fans at the moment.

Well he screwed his so-called boyhood club from getting a fair fee yesterday cos he rejected the Champion. He had chosen to remain silent and not signing a new contract. He can reconsider his position in January then in May then p off on a free. It should be the script under the directship of his agent.

Those who defend him are utterly delusional. This is Everton not a one man club.

Does it not bother you. Does it not feel wrong that a supposed blue could do this. Are you that distanced from the emotions of the fans that it doesn't hurt you. I am one of life's hard nosed dispassionate people who would think nothing of making thousands redundant, or sending troops into battle, if it was rationally required. But doing this to our club, a club he supposedly loves is beyond the pale........

He is no blue mate my arl would be turning in his grave if I done what he done.
I would not consider playing him again unless he apologised to the club and signed a new 5 year contract.

..The Guardian reporting Barkley says it was Everton's fault for not letting him talk with Spurs. I suspect this was because Spurs failed to meet our £35m valuation.[/QUOTE
Ross should reconsider his PR/Agent just as much as he reconsiders his private time.

You are on your own Longers. You I am afraid are being delusional if you don't see he has stitched us up. Everton would have let Ross go to his preferred club if that club met our valuation but they didn't so some under handedness is probably going on between Ross and Spurs and if true then he is biting the hand that fed him. Please don't compare it to a normal job

Who are you to tell Barkley what he should do with his life? You have a strange concept of delusional. The club can move on and so can Barkley.

Three cheers for the lad who chinned the rat...

Hip hip...

I remember that incident; I got absolutely hammered by some here, for suggesting he was a silly boy and lacked professionalism. And now with the benefit of hindsight it was still worth it. Although, I do remember a conciliatory nod from either you or moderation, so its a HOORAY from me.

 

[mahermi1]

Leave him on the bench and don't bring him on at all even if we play with ten. Let's face it he won't go into a tackle fully, might ruin his chances of playing for Spurs. I would also forgo the chance of earning a £15m fee in January, let's give him a year off and no world cup. Of course if he signs a new contract I will forgive him. Even Rooney made sure we got a fee, Barkley is no better than Mcmannam when he screwed Liverpool over.

This is simple. He costed us a whopping £35m fee yesterday. In Jan the tapping up club will make a crap offer like £15m we will reject it and he will walk on a free next summer.

If he has decency he would have signed a new deal to let his so-called boyhood club getting a good fee for selling him. He screwed us big time here.

Why should the manager must blow smoke up his a? 3/4 signings are here to create competition. If he thinks he is better than he is then leave but no he screwed the club over yesterday by rejecting the Champion of PL the unfaithful xyz#.

Well he just walked out of a medical after agreeing terms with another team and wrote about 15-20 million off of our accounts by doing that.

Pete? Comparing people's lives lost through war or families struggling from redundancy with multi-millionaire Barkley throwing a hissy is a tad mis-judged.

 

[Banksyefc]

He's actually not listed on the books a single a asset as he's an academy product.

and why do you think there has been 3 or 4 signings in his position. Because he has refused to sign a contract that was offered which translates to he doesn't want to play for us. If Koeman didn't want him then a contract would not have been offered, surely.
