2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Tubey]

We actually can't sell him in January - we'll need him to keep us up, even if we lose him on a free in the summer.

Gonna be 10x the amount of pressure there ever was on the kid to perform miracles if he ever plays another game for us, he could just sit it out and move on.

 

[welshtoffee]

Don't think he will ever play for us again.

 

[eddy]

Will probably drop his wage demands to something like £50 quid a week to move on
rather than play in our utter mess of a team

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Given their standing with the fans at the start of the season, the beautiful, beautiful irony if Ross and Oumar Niasse end up being the two players to do more than any other to keep us up by the end of the season.

I hate you Ross you fraud.







Come back to the team please.

 

[kenada_blue]

Damage already done. Koeman was making plans for a team without him.

 

[Ivo]

He's been injured for ages. What's up with him? Seems like our injuries take forever compared to other clubs.

 

[streeky]

Would be great if he just walked into rhino's office and said i'm in for wednesday, unfortunately it wouldn't make any diference as our defence is finished.

 

[David Snooks]

He'll be the one to save us. Pressure will be massive on him but diamonds are formed from pressure aren't they? Cmon Ross my hero my mate

We'd do a bit better in holding on to the ball

 

[dublinbluenose]

Bye bye Ross. Allerdyce don't do football.

 

[Yarrgh]

What leaves sinking ships Ross? Rats!

Don't be a rat. Mind you I wouldn't blame you in the least.

 

[longers]

Well he’s obviously 100% gone now. Allardyce doesn’t rate him hence why he was dropped from England squad as soon as Fat Sam took over.

 

[Safc-mark-91]

Bye bye Ross. Allerdyce don't do football.

To be fair, I thought that, but he gave a lot of Sunderland rejects (Not that I'm saying Barkley is a reject but you know what I mean) a second chance and they seemed to flourish under him. Obviously, we didn't have anyone as technically good as Barkley, but the players seemed to really get on board with Big Sam and he made us much better organised and harder to break-down. Wouldn't surprise me if Big Sam come in, took Barkley to one side and said "Clean slate lad, I don't care what's happened before I come in, this is your second chance to do the business for Everton - Up to you now" and revived his career with you.

He seems to have a good man-management style and the players were willing to run through brick walls for him.
