2017/18 Ross Barkley

[neil999]

Its his professional debut so not purely about everton surely?!

 

[paultheblue]

So he turned the league champs down

So are you saying his reasons are not football related?

 

[Toast]

Weren't they the date of his Everton debut or something similar?

Think it was his bank pin number and his address in case he got lost again.

What do you actually think is behind all of this? Koeman calling him nasty names behind his back in training?

 

[Barnfred 55]

Yeah they were, but honestly who'd guess that if they weren't told or even be arsed? If Sandro had the date of his Barcelona debut on his arm, would any of us actually want him to get it removed?

Too 'kin right I would. 'kin rat.

Koeman took his blankie off him.

His pin number is 2418 so he just has to think of dominos when he uses his card

 

[bol-uk]

Yeah, which if reports are too be believed could have something to do with Chelsea telling Conte not to speak to him causing him to question how much he would be involved. I think it is fairly clear that he has his next destination picked out.

According to nothing more than the media

CMXCIX. Number to call next time he gets lost.

He'll still be looking for the "C" on his phonelol

Who knows? That is the point, we all so desperate to hate him we seem to think him wanting to leave can only be cos he's a rat. I don;'t believe it is that simple.

I have no idea but chose to wait and see before calling him a rat. Disapointed at the way us blues love to hate.

Right. Well what other explanations have we been offered to consider? Might as well take them at their word until someone comes out and says otherwise as it is as good as we're gonna get.

We know he wants to leave. You're correct to observe that he's turned down the champions. Why? Not for more money, or to play for a more successful team. So either he wasn't convinced about Chelsea for another reason, such as the manager, or he's already been tapped up by someone else.

What's your best guess mate? Based on all the available info we have.

 

[sageyefc]

Burn him at the stake

Fair enough mate I thought you were suggesting it was to do with the recent rumours but if it was surely he would have signed for Chelsea .
