2017/18 Ross Barkley

What I struggle to understand is if the club knew he wouldn't be involved in any first team plans unless he signs a new deal, but he'd also be sold if doesn't sign?

Why did the club leave it until around January(may be mistaken on the offering month) to offer him the new deal?!

Even the deal was offered earlier. He and his agent may still drag on and not responding .

It wouldnt make me fall off my seat if he stays.

Not exactly a rush to the door is there?

That said, late move to a West Ham/Newcastle/WBA wouldnt surprise me neither. Be dead sad if that happened.

Im completely guessing, but this for me is the whole issue.

Most other players got offered deals well earlier than 12/18 months before end fo deal....some 2 years like Lukaku. This has to be playing on Ross's mind, surely!!

Also, if he is really not wanted...why offer his this so callled huge deal at all ?? Why not sell him last summer ??

Looks to be a massive mistake made by the club in waiting too long to offer this deal.

I've a feeling Koeman was waiting to see if there were signs he could adapt to the system he wants to play and if he started to show more consistency.
 
Ron will most probably say there is no change on the Ross situation, at the presser later. think this is going to the wire.

Those games still count, mate.

I know Pabbers, it was a good sign of improvement, even at the pit when he was clearly trying too hard and made a bit of a balloon of himself he still looked like he was trying at least.

However, he hasn't signed his contract, so bollocks to him, he's no worldy.

He was also the best on the pitch at old trafford and White Hart lane, shame others where terrible in those games.
