2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Thomasc]

Here is a highly select list of players who scored more goals than Ross Barkley last season
Gareth McAuley
Junior Stanislas
Marko Aurnautavic
Joe Allen
Robert Snodgrass
Etienne Capoue

However he did do well with 8 assists, though sadly 5 behind Gylfi Sigurdsson who played for relegation threatened Swansea.

Just saying

I'm just going to keep posting this to remind people they are just being sentimental for no reason.

He's run of the mill these days, that's about it.

Why do the club have to tell you or anyone the terms they have agreed on the Lukaku deal, maybe they are best kept private or insisted upon by utd as they don't want to break the limit they had with Carlton Pogba.

We don't look foolish at all, only in the minds of people that really don't matter in the scheme of things.

It was 100 million we stated - look what Swansea are taking their stance on Sig aged 29 - we let him go far to cheaply watch this space!
also when we got that money did we go out and by a replacement NO!
our highest goal scorer and our better young midfielder our two best players will be gone in the Koeman revolution!

He's 27 mate, 28 in September, no idea why you are sticking 2 years on him to make your point

Still too old - no sell on fee if he gets a four year deal thats Lukaku's money gone!

If they don't want to play for Everton Football Club Joey there really isn't anything we can do about it.

Zero idea how that affects your judgement.

a) not your money
b) at his peak
c) we need players ready now who can hit the ground running, the first team isn't an academy.
d) 13 assists last season, he creates.

...can't believe people are still blaming Koeman for Lukaku and Barkley leaving. As far as I know they both wanted to leave despite improved offers being on the table. I think this would've been the case regardless of who our manager is, who our owner is and who our fans are.

Lukaku - yes; Barkley - no.

 

[Thomasc]

Lukaku - yes; Barkley - no.

It doesn't really matter, his stats and performances show he is easily replaced.

Folk just being sentimental because he is scouse.

 

[Harry73]

Lukaku - yes; Barkley - no.

What facts do you have to say Barkley is a no? None of us have the faintest clue why he is leaving but if you do, please share. Lukaku was obvious, but none of us can factually make a definitive statement about Barkley. You might still be right, but without facts, I don't see how you can hang the manager over this.

To be fair, he probably would have stayed if Martinez was still here blowing smoke up his rear (providing we weren't in the Championship like). Wouldn't have improved at all as a player, but he'd be staying.

Once his learned how to spell his name

Oh come on!

There is a new Everton, but I don't think people understand this yet or understand what this means.

This Koeman feller speaks with forked tongue. He's kiddin' the arse off you lot!
