The thing is that Barkley has got as much chance of starting regularly at CFC as he would have at Spurs i.e. not much.
So this is about money.

Probably. Players have such bullet proof contracts these days, they can earn more money in a single day than the average yearly salary, and not even have to play to earn it.

Cannot see any way that we would refuse an offer from Spurs that was equal to Chelseas, despite whatever spurs briefed journalists may or may not be reporting. There's too much money at stake for that kind of misplaced pride.
Your argument will fall apart once he signs for spurs in January or in the summer.
Big difference tho. We still paid £45m.
Spurs whole motive is to get away with paying nothing.
Very different scenario.
If it was about money, he would have signed for Chelsea.
They will pay higher wages than us and Spurs.

Only possible reason being he's a brainless tit with no sense of what constitutes a great football club

...not so sure it is. He'd have pocketed £3.5m and got more wages at Chelsea than Spurs who have a strict salary structure. He's taking a huge gamble if he's now waiting for Tottenham. I think Everton will play hard ball in January, I can't see Chelsea coming back in for him.
A Bosman in 12 months may be lucrative but he'll have lost a full year of massive wages at Chelsea and clubs will be wary of taking somebody who has been out of the limelight for so long. It really is a bizarre and nonsensical situation that I find very difficult to evaluate. There is of course the possibility of signing his new deal at Everton but it looks like a number of ships have sailed.

Maybe he is being forced out? Maybe he is waiting until Jan to see if Everton can challenge for CL? Maybe the club was counting on his sale to fund a striker? Maybe birds are fitter in London? Maybe Spurs are selling Ali in the summer and Ross is to appease the fans? Maybe he is a rat Judas and will never ever have the privilege of wearing an EFC shirt again? So many questions and not enough answers, the lad needs to make a decision and go with it.
Not really by holding out until January or the end of his contract, it's win, win for the player. Less transfer fee in January, more wages, possibly signing on fee for the player. End of his contract, free transfer for the player again signing on fee, so really probably even more money for the player and less for Everton.

On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
He played up this "Everton don't love me " when Koeman was trying to improve him. He's a shallow selfish little boy and will end badly.
But he'll have a lot of money
But he would always have had a lot of money!

Spurs are not going to break its wage structure for Barkley.
All the other elements, I've been saying for a while now. People believed we called the shots with regards to Barkley when it was him and his agent who controlled all the cards on this.

How did we allow ourselves to be manipulated into this situation? I can't remember the last time a £50million player at another club left on a free.
