pete0 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Incidentally... how did Ross do on man of the match votes last year?First half of the season he had won it once. West Ham at home, I've not included Yeovil. Turned his season around against Hull and went on to get 6 motm on here in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 MotMon here isn't justification that he has played well or to a standard high enough for the managers expectations. There's games where we all struggle to name one as we've played that shite. You can't use votes on a forum to accurately disect his performances. Some will of voted without actually watching the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Only players as bad as him was Jags and Stek and they both lost their places. Barkley was barely benched in comparison. Like I've said before Pete, we had nobody to replace him. Hope he doesnt stay now cos he won't get in ahead of Siggy, Rooney, and Klaasen, which means we would lose money on him when he goes for free next summer.

I would have kept Ossie on for another year just as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chach Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 we would lose money on him when he goes for free Lose what money exactly? he came through the academy and is currently on 40k per week by all reports. For example and by comparison, we pay 7 million per year for the services of Yannick Bolasie before we've even paid his wages, anything other than him re-signing for the next 5 years is a diabolical bit of business by us IMO.

MC11 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Barkley has remained professional throughout this. Again this has been a fall out with the manager not Everton a Football Club. Koeman comes across as very forceful, tunnel visioned and he won't stop until he gets what he wants. If you cross him you are done for. Think that's what's happened here. Koeman has never really like him as a player. As someone who fits into his system. He'd rather he moved on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point but it's like being given a house worth £2m.... do you sell it for £20 and say "it's £20 profit".... or do you look to get as much as the £2m that it's worth. For me it's the latter.

Bill Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 If he was signed on, we would get £35-40m for him, if he's out of contract we will get fook all. That's the money we will lose, can't you see that.? aaron and Chach 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fucked up and we can't hold him to account for honouring his shitty contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisJD Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I can't help but hope Barkley stays past the transfer window, and he re-signs during the year. Can see Barkley modelling the next stage of his development on Rooney, his movement around the pitch and importantly the desperation to get into and deceptively move in the box. One can hope...

markjazzbassist Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 still nothing on this front. 3 days left. chelsea just got Ox so i doubt they are in for Ross now. Spurs only it looks like. At this rate he might stay for the year if no one is willing to pay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Interesting...Ox for £35million, one year left of his contract. Similar age to Barkley. Similar quality I think...Ox probably just edges it I think. Gives us an idea of what we can realistically expect from selling Barkley.

Apparently he wants to play in central midfield which is ironically his worst position! If £35mil was bid got Ox then Barkley should be double!

Romey 1878 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Apparently he wants to play in central midfield which is ironically his worst position! If £35mil was bid got Ox then Barkley should be double! Does he have a best position? Whenever I watch him I wonder how he plays for Arsenal and is continually linked with other top sides. Typical English hype for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainbeaker Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Chelsea need to increase squad depth, especially home grown(English) players, they got lucky with injuries last year and have put 30+ players out on loan. I believe the bid was £20million plus £5million add-ons. They will probably come back with £25million plus add-ons and that will be accepted.

So after two years on the Chelsea bench and missing the world cup, does Barkley end up at Southampton, West Ham, Leicester, or Newcastle? Or does he go abroad?
