2017/18 Ross Barkley

[grevenitipunx]

To hell with what I've said about him in this topic ! Just come back 100% fit to save the season lad ! We desperately need you along with an accomplished striker .

If Unsworth stays on past the international break, then Barkley will walk straight into the team. If there's a new manager, and Ross is still intent on leaving, then I'm not sure we'll see him play again.

If that’s true it will show that the CEO and chairman have no interest in football
They should be line managing and setting some expectations and standards of what we expect viz football style , homegrown players , culture of the club etc
If it’s just to let the new managers f up our club for £5 m per year what’s the point of anything

He already protects his movement after his leg break - v rare to see Ross commit to a 50/50 [I don't mean that critically, as he's not on the park to go round smashing into tackles, but it is noticeable]. But the injury is a bad situation whichever way you look at it. If it's legit it means he's missed 4 months plus with a hamstring problem - sounds severe for a muscular injury. On the other hand, if he's just sat on his ringpiece because he CBA with Koeman then that shows where his head is at. Or isn't, as far as we're concerned.

It’s sad though because if i remember right didn’t he play about 90% if games for 4 years in a row under RM and RK? He did the job he was told to do mostly
One good manager and coach will set him up

BBC saying it is unlikely that he will sign a new deal.

Hahaha, this just gets better and better.

Call yourself an Evertonian, Ross?

SHAREDBarkley unlikely to sign new Everton deal

Simon Stone

BBC Sport

Ross Barkley is still likely to leave Everton despite acting manager David Unsworth’s optimism that the England midfielder could still be persuaded to stay.

Barkley is about a month away from a return to action after injuring a hamstring in August.

The 23-year-old’s contract expires next summer and Unsworth has said it is not impossible Barkley could sign an extension.

It is understood this is unlikely.

Everton accepted a £35m bid from Chelsea for Barkley on deadline day but the deal didn’t go through as Barkley had second thoughts and opted to remain at Goodison Park.

It is thought Chelsea will return with a January offer, whilst Tottenham, who were linked with the England international throughout the summer, also remain keen on the player.

Not much meat in that.

Soon as he is fit he will be sold, are they going to play him knowing if he gets injured they can kiss goodbye to a fee.

TBF I would bugger off as well.

I live by the rule that anything bad is true.

Personally I would keep him to keep us in premiership football, and let him go on a free, survival is worth far more than we will get for him now fee wise!

 

[mahermi1]

We got seventh last year and he wanted to go, can't believe people on here think he will now change his mind because we are third bottom of the Premier League, out of the Carribou cup and out of Europa league as well. He wants to win trophies and play in the champions league end of. Everton supporter ? Maybe, but first and foremost like most footballers, he comes first. I think we all need to take off the blue tinted specs, I would be amazed if he signed a contract here, made up but amazed. He decided to leave last year, Koeman in my opinion wasn't the major factor in that decision, ambition was.

depends hoe largely the specter of relegation looms

Would be a massive shame, and a bit of a wake up to us about where the club is going.
