2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Khalekan]

I hear ya but to me after a player has gone I couldn't give a rat's what they do. As for England, I'm English so all rivalries & hate go out the window & I cheer on my country & want what's best for it.

I ain't as forgiving as you, Stephen

And one of the reasons I hate the English national team is because I cannot go from hating the likes of Slippy, Terry, Lallana et al one week and then "cheer them on" the next.

But that's just me

He'll be back.

Diamonds are forever

The sewer rat cost us 15m plus wages in 5 months !

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

So he cost us 15 million + wages while he sat his fat ass on the treatment table that we paid for. Oh Ross you better get a recurrence of your hammy injury each time you have to play us as I would not like to be in your shoes when you come to Goodison.

The snake of all snakes. Enjoy the bench.

Because he was under contract with us.

 

[Mrk]

Right but as you say they were never going to pay £35m for him as he was crippled so we haven’t actually lost any money.

Well, I'm not completely sure that's the case. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that there's been collusion between Barkley (or at least his agent) and Chelsea, as if they had rejected Chelsea's 'idea' of waiting, it's not crazy to suggest that Chelsea would have gone ahead with the deal at the time, as they clearly want the lad and didn't want him to go to Spurs.

 

[MikeH72]

I am past worrying about that.

We know it to be the case.

It ain't even like we will be able to buy much with £15 million anyway.

Let the bugger rot.

I actually disagree, we could get a more than competent left back or centre back for that.

 

[matty1878]

Could you imagine the frothing at the mouth if we bought a player for top dollar who had a long term injury mate (probably from the same lads who are whinging Chelsea have had us off.)

What’s money to them tho? When I think things can’t get worse at Everton this proves to me it’s sell to buy all over again

 

[longers]

Arghhh can we stop with the “he cost us millions” nonsense. Common sense now suggests they told him to wait until January meaning no club was ever willing to spend big money on him last summer.... meaning we didn’t lose out on anything.

Only other thing I can imagine is that he was holding out for Spurs but then they dropped interest and he’s now only got Chelsea as an option.... in which case yes he did cost us millions.

This seems less likely than the first suggestion though.

Who we selling in summer then to fund other players?

Wish him the absolute worst luck with injuries and poor form, terrible man

 

[Blue 1]

What a shithead.

What an absolute mess of a club.

It is disgusting.

We pay his wages from September to now.......we pay our medical people to cure his ailments.....we have our fitness people get him back in shape.

I wish there was a way to make him fork out for all that.

Just because they're minted doesn't mean we should expect them to give us £35m for a player with a long term injury Matty.

You are English and hate your national team


Shame on you

I would never go so far as to wish an injury on him, or anyone else for that matter, but I hope he never realises the potential he once displayed intermittently.
