2017/18 Ross Barkley

Hopefully a new manager could talk him round

We miss him badly.

I’d love his rationale for not signing a contract to come out in public so we can make a proper decision. I won’t be booing him as I’m sure some will IF he ever plays for us again.

I honestly don’t believe he wants to leave Everton.

...heard some interesting information at the match today. You might recall Dr Irvine retired at the end of last season after many years Service. Irvine was the chap who ran on when Bolasie got hurt and started to inspect the wrong leg. Anyway, an innovative and modern replacement was required and the new bloke came in.

I understand the bloke has no football experience at all and gave Barkley’s legs a much deeper massage than a player would normally expect. Barkley went out and got a severe hamstring. The players lost faith and more importantly the club lost a bundle in transfer revenue. I’m told the new Dr is now the old Dr and a replacement is sought.

All unconfirmed of course.

Forced retirement, suddenly he became unqualified for the role.

..that is a good point, Everton do employ a masseur. I was thinking that myself and will ask but it might be that he was introducing himself to the players by giving them one-to-one treatment.

With a ahem, happy ending?

If we want to stay up he must be brought back into the fold.

Roscooooooooooooo

Is he really injured?, or has he been out casted to suit all. Koeman doesn't want him and he doesn't seem to like Koeman.

Rooney's next conquest?

When the Dutchman goes, perhaps someone can talk Ross and get him to sign a new contract with us.

Hickson9 · October 22, 2017

Koeman out.

Barkley signs a new contract. We build the team around him, the best player on our books.

I'm extremely fickle and willing to accept i may have been wrong on Koemoyes' handling of this.

But I actually doubt a new manager makes any difference for Ross. He's gone regardless I'd imagine.
