MC11 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I should bloody hope he stays. He's the face of Everton and most importantly he's a local lad! Need to be doing better to keep these players though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 his current level he'd be on the bench at City, United, Spurs, etc. so i just don't see him going anywhere. I agree he should be paid and given a new contract, no doubt, but i don't think there's any truth to him leaving. He starts every match for us.

Paddock Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I wouldn't be overly arsed if he went as long as we bought a top quality 10 to replace him if I'm honest but I also would be happy if he stayed. Silly statement but thats how I feel about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do Mark, still doesn't mean I want him to leave. If we brought in a renowned number 10 who was better than him and sold him I'd be happy.

Shukes Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 To be fair Sterling had a long purple patch and looked the real deal. Problem is that when he found his level it wasn't where it needed to be. City would swap sterling for Barkley in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 The way he's performing at the moment has got me feeling so giddy. This is the Ross I knew was in there, it was just getting it out. I hope that these past few months have been a turning point for him and he plays like this consistently. If he does then we're in for a lot of excitement. I think Koeman deserves a lot of credit for Barkley's turnaround (if it sticks). He was criticised for being vocal about Ross in public, and I actually don't think he'd have wanted to do it that way, but he could see that Ross had been coddled by Martinez and then when he got shit from the likes of Hodgson he didn't handle it very well. So I think Koeman felt he had to show Ross that the footballing world isn't all sunshine and daisies, but that it's a harsh place where criticism, rightly or wrongly, will come your way in a very public way. It'll have given Ross a thicker skin and will benefit us in the long-run. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Agree with the above, I've consistently criticized Ross, and if he reads this forum I'm sure i might have been in some way responsible for the upturn in his performances.......Only joking. Played extremely well recently, keep it up lad. Edited March 12, 2017 by Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I don't criticising Ross in public has had anything to do with the improvement as he was sulky right away. The work has been done on the training field and by getting him into a formation that suits him better. If we start playing him off Rom and lumping long balls to him he will play crap again. Now he can express himself more in more space and his confidence is sky high. That's the big difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 He's playing great, but he could 100% play better. Would like to see him chip in with more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 What utter twaddle. You've never played FIFA online with custom player faces obviously https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J20hlnwRO6M/hqdefault.jpg Haha! He is quite possibly the most athletically/technically talented player I've seen since gerrard. If he never had that injury he would probably already be one of the best players in Europe. I believe he is on course to be world class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I'd sooner he was happy at Everton, and playing international football will help with that. You sure? I'm not convinced. I know he'll want to play for his country but considering his character, i.e. shy and humble, I don't think he'd cope with the exposure which I'm sure wouldn't make him happy. All depends on the England setup though, too many years of dross managing and coaching, maybe I'm being too pessimistic Edited March 14, 2017 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Every player wants to play for his country. It's the dream when you are growing up and making it through the ranks. Getting a recall will oy make him buzz more and realise that the hard graft and education pay off in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'd sooner he was happy at Everton, and playing international football will help with that. Ya reckon? I can pinpoint 2 or 3 occasions where the England set up has seen ross take a battering after having played well for Everton. Hodgson mistreated him on two occasions. The allardyce fiasco was a joke too.. Too much publicity and not the type he needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
