2017/18 Ross Barkley

[bol-uk]

Yeh but what kid would we hound out if Ross stayed? Who else can we turn our abject hatred towards? Stones, Rom gone. Maybe Keane?

We have 7 number 10's and yet Barkley walks into our team... as THE number 10.

Is right

Ronkoe goes Ross stays.

Simples.

Suppose it might work, can't have enough 10s... (thinks ronko)

He's a number 6. The best manager in the league wants to buy him to replace Dembele. Only at Everton could a player who played all his youth football play in centre midfield as the creative passer of the ball (forwards) then end up playing his whole time with his back to goal. He's not a number 10 and never had been. We'll never see him in his true position, a tragedy really.

Few whispers that some of the dressing room are not happy with the treatment of Ross, by Koeman.

I'm not surprised. He is clearly well liked and almost protected by guys like jags and Baines.

Koeman treated him abysmally, as has been pointed out and evidenced before, he continually singled him out for public critic in a manner he hasn't done with any other player, and ross was far from being poor. If it was an attempt to show he was the boss and no one was safe, as I think it was, then it's royally backfired on him.

The players are performing very much reminesisant of the Martinez days when it was clear he had lost them.

 

[Tel001]

I slagged the lid off for not being man enough to take the managers criticism on board, but you know what.

The way Koeman is going, bin him now if it made Barkley stay.

I'm starting to come to that point of view also

 

[Zezti]

Probably the only 10 who could play with another 10. I would put him between someone like Sigi and the striker (any of Sandro/Niasse/DCL). Supported by Coleman/Bolasie and Vlasic down the sides we would have quite a good attacking unit I think.
Shame they're crocked.

I wonder if Rhino came in he'd sign a new deal, me thinks it's about money at this point

I don't think he'd stay even if Koeman got sacked before the next transfer window. I just think he has set his sights higher than us at the moment. He's looking at Stones and Lukaku in the Champs League and wants some of that. A wage increase is nice too!

Unfortunately Ross is devoid of defensive instinct. Ross has a different speed for running backwards to running forwards. That being said I would of loved for him to have signed the new contract so the Gilfi money could have been spent elsewhere
