Haiku Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 If Barkley is as good as we think, and he is on a short term contract. Why are the vultures not circling around? Why are there not a bunch of clubs interested in him? Tottenham are waiting to sign him for £10-15m on the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Now that Spurs have just got that wedge in for Walker I think we'll see Barkley move there shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Still, Spurs is just one club. If he is that good, why are not more clubs looking to get him at a bargain price? Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Tottenham are reportedly pushing to secure the signing of Ross Barkley before they depart for their pre-season tour this week, but there's still a gap to be bridged. Spurs saw Kyle Walker depart for Manchester City this week with his sizeable fee likely to be added to the transfer coffers this summer with the club yet to make a major signing. According to The Mirror, they seemingly want Barkley to be their key addition, but they're nowhere near the £50m valuation set by the Toffees.

pete0 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 They just got £50m for an average full back, I'd expect us to play hard ball to get a similar fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Be a good deal if we can get £30m for him. We can lose him for nowt at end of this season. Edited July 16, 2017 by Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I would risk loosing him for free, but trying to convince him to stay. There are 12 months still, plenty of time to change his mind. The lad has a place in the team. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad has a place in the team. No chance- why should he get a place in the side over a player who has comitted to the club and wants to be part of it. If he refuses to sign then he should be sold, if no one wants him he should be put in the rezzies for me.

Shukes Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 People say Koeman is straight forward and professional. If Barkley performs, he will be in the team. If he doesn't, he won't. Koeman won't get emotional because he hasn't signed a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd take up a spot that someone who wants to play for Everton could have. World Cup year so give him the ultimate punishment of not playing any football at all, and take away all chance of him playing at that World Cup.

To harsh, we don't know whats going on, we don't know what the contract offer is. Even if Barkley wants to leave for whatever reason to destroy the boy makes no sense and is not right. Either he signs or he leaves. If he stays and does not sign and does not play then his value will plummet and everyone loses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Jim White saying before that he understands that the club have had no interest in Barkley so far. for the price we want, 1 year left, and his talent level, that's not surprising.

If he stays and does not sign and does not play then his value will plummet and everyone loses. This is the problem though. As soon as the window closes, and he has less than a year left on his contract, his value plummets anyway. If he does not sign and he still gets played, and plays a worldie most weeks...his value still plummets. To the club anyway. To himself and his agent, his value increases with every passing month £££ wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better idea, Either he signs a contract or we loan him to the Russian league or the Indonesian League with us paying his wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think he'll wait a year (clubs know it as well), so will want him cheap (1 year remaining). We either take a lower price (which I think we should do) or let him (as others have suggested) let him play non-competitive/lower level football.
