2017/18 Ross Barkley

Options, Dave? Plural? I thought you said a few posts back that the management had stuffed this up so royally that Spurs are about to tear us a new one?

If they dont get the job done up will step another CL outfit.

Anyone believing (hoping) RB will end up at Newcastle or West Ham are living in a dream world.

he will end up at one of city, united, Tottenham and less likely arsenal. The clubs will leave it as late as possible to drive down the price

He'll go to whoever offers the most dosh.

He'll go. Let's just agree on that much.

No bids so far suggest he is nobodies priority, thus far.

Whatever was offered - and you dont know how much of an improved offer it was, none of us do - whilst seeing a manager telling everyone you are a bit of a failure thus far in your career.

I wonder why a player with CL clubs as options to go to wouldn't extend his contract under those auspicious circumstances?

This is quite ridiculous. You actually made things up.

unlikely player power always wins over in this scenario. Barkley will choose who he goes too.

This. I think he is being badly advised. Koeman is possibly the best for him, he actually needs to knuckle down and become the next Everton captain.

He'll only get a choice if there's competition for his signature.

there will be plenty of interest

He won't. Everton are offering the most dosh. A lot more than Spurs at least.

No mate. He is a class player. The best this club has produced since Rooney. He's leaving too, which is a cause for great concern not an opportunity to attack the player - again.

And the best player we've produced since Barkley, Dowell, is now playing his football outside the club.

Any rational minded neutral looking in at this club would quickly come to the conclusion that it's an organisation that cant keep or wont keep its very best.

The draining away of talent from this club in recent times has been a disgrace and a slur on the club's traditions.

I'd say Tom Davies is the best produced outside of Rooney and Barkley. In fact I'd be suprised if Dowell ever gets a consistent run of games for us.

 

[Dave Higgs]

Dowell has got all the talent in the world, I worry he doesn't have the work ethic that Koeman craves though.

This.

Disagree;
No he isn't, I think there are things behind the scenes that are out of his agent's capacity to advise on
Maybe - maybe not.
never going to happen

The way this is going is first team to offer the asking price will be the buyer ... don't think he would make it any of the so called top 6 teams as he's not made it with us . Best for all he just goes and maybe stoke or Newcastle might be the new challenge he needs . Think the lad is mixed up and lost al perspective !
