2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Jimmy Grimble]

Interesting point this, who was the last scouser to play for a team in the capital ? Jeffers I reckon and he didn't do much once he got down to the old smoke

Kevin Nolan

The whole saga makes no sense mate, in that what ever theory is advanced, there is evidence to dismantle it. Like ^^^^^ did.

Hates Koeman? Koeman played him most of the season.
Wants CL? With who, and on what wages?
Wants a new challenge? Er, look around FF Ross.
Wants more cash? Decent offer was made, apparently.

Baffled.

Same here.

Me and my mates were chatting about this yesterday. Some of the opinion that he must not like Koeman or want to play for him.

Would you turn your back on your boyhood club because of that? Don't think I would, hardly treated as a second class citizen is he?

You don't have to like everybody you work with or for if you are good at your job, a bit of middle ground can occur.

Unless you are a bit dim like, so we can start to understand why some are beating him with that particular stick.

Wherever he ends up, this is 100% equally as bad as Barmby going across the park IMO, yet some on here give it the "poor Ross" act, ridiculous!

I think he knows he won't be first choice when Siggi comes in. that's it really

Kevin Nolan

Aaron Cresswell too

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

I respectfully disagree.

Makes Barkley look like John Ebbrell, pay the 50mill quick, proven to be consistently up there with the best midfielders in the prem unless people disagree with those stats, in which case you would just be a complete and utter moron.

Steven Gerrard? oh wait... i forgot. LFC fans threatened him so he stayed.

Has the snake slithered off to new pastures yet?

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

What constitutes a chance created?

A goalkeeper only has to close his eyes and wallop the ball up the field and that's basically creating a chance

To be fair, that one could be added to this as well.

Like exactly where would he be considered/signed as, "first choice" in the top 7 sides?

 

[Moham-17]

What constitutes a chance created?

Fair question, I didn't delve into what their definition was. Didn't have time.

 

[vintage-toffees]

Healed and gone yet ?

 

[TrixyStevens]

Supports the club all his life and, from what I gather, doesn't get on with Koeman so wants a change of scenery. Thick as a double ditch

Its a struggle to arrive at any other conclusion isnt it?

See I'm not saying 'poor Ross' because I have absolutely no idea what's happened or how he's come to this decision. It may simply be down to money or a desire to fill his trophy cabinet for all I know.

I do think though, that people (deliberately, of course) massively downplay the whole 'not getting on' with Koeman thing. You're talking there as if it's just a case of him being mildly irritated by him. There is of course the possibility that it's much more serious than that, that there is a massive personality clash, that things have been said or done which cannot be unsaid or undone. If there's been a breakdown in trust or there's a simmering tension because of something that's gone on in the past then that middle ground you're talking about gets swallowed up pretty quickly. He certainly wouldn't be the first player to want to leave a club after a spat with their manager, and no doubt he wouldn't be the last.

9/1 to stay on skybet might have a hopeful £10 flutter.

No wonder I always lose bets when Everton are involved!
