markjazzbassist Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 He's not on the plane to Tanzinia- official line is he has a groin strain even though he trained yesterday. Neither are Robles and Mori. Robles and Mori sales make sense, so does a Ross sale. Just to add to this- Bolasie travelled but wont be fit until December . He's been ahead of schedule though, he was already running before the end of last campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 yes on locker, but not given socks, take that as you will Oh shit. He's off then. He's definitely off. Even Niasse got socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chach Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I hadn't really considered Ross might leave until this "groin injury", that and Ronnie's comments at the press conference. I would be quite upset if Ross was playing his football elsewhere come the new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Rather than quote everyone individually- yes Bolasie is African but so is Gana sonwe had an ambassador if we wanted one, Ross is a big name, people will want to see him and watch him. He trained yesterday no problems by all accounts but the very next day he has a groin injury. All seems a bit coincidental to me if I'm honest, I'll be amazed if he's here end of August. He will of robbed loads of socks though in the players absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) https://twitter.com/Everton/status/885042868536188928 This is why Bolasie is there. DRC and Tanzania are neighbors. There are either a lot of Congolese who travelled for Bolasie or Congolese who live in Tanzania. (Probably both). Those are all DRC flags in that video. Senegal couldn't be further away. Very little in common with Tanzania. Edited July 12, 2017 by JoeQuince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Strange situation. Koeman is known for being brutally honest. Even he is being tight lipped about Barkley now. A contract was offered, Barkley hasn't signed... but also hasn't said anything really. Club and player should sort this out. Becoming a blip in an otherwise amazing summer. If he isn't in your plans Koeman, just say. If you don't want to be here Ross, ask for a transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is in his plans, just not to the extent Ross would want, hence the stand off between club and player.

He was asked at the Rooney presser, he dodged the wuestion rightly imo as it would have taken the shine off Rooney- he said it was a question for the next presser and I'm sure he'll be brutally honest then.

Hafnia Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Barkley was the main topic on the way home on talk sport. Both Durham and gough rate him but can't understand what is going on with him. Couple of decent calls off Everton fans. One of which gave a bit of insught i to how good he can be and how "tactically unaware" he can be. Not one person doubts his technical ability... it's just why he struggles to get managers trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 My thoughts exactly. His technical ability is probably up there with the best in the league, but I can't tell if his brain is behind or ahead of his teammates. His decision-making has been really poor and he also seems like a "confidence" player. I'd prefer him to always believe in himself rather than need the support of his peers/manager. In my opinion he just isn't cocky enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think it all hinges on the gylfi deal, we are waiting for him to sign then Ross will be sold, I think it's also a reason that Rooney was bought in, to lessen the blow of 'one of our own' leaving by bringing back the prodigal son to deflect most of that uproar .

Bailey Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 If Ross does have any issue with his groin it's no surprise that he hasn't gone out there. Last thing you want to do with a tight groin is still buckled in on a plane for a few hours. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Plays better angry when his instincts take over and we momentarily get to see a world class player. Unfortunately he's a softy so it doesn't come out much and the longer he's given to think the worse the decision. Very frustrating player.

nyblue23 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 http://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/3157840/ross-barkleys-everton-future-not-clear-ronald-koeman So no news. With Koeman's no-bullshit approach, I feel like this is honestly still the situation. His future might definitely depend on whether or not we bring Gylfi in, but it really does seem like there's been no decision made at this point.
