Paddock Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Not a chance will we get 50 for him in the last 12 months of his contract. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 No chance. 30m tops more like 20m going to 25m with add one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Guys he hasn't had a great season, but he hasn't had a bad one either. He is still one of our top assets and a very good footballer. 50m is saying we don't want to sell... but it's not a million miles away for him.

We'd be lucky to get 50 for him on a 5 year contract we really would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 £20m will probably buy him if we are honest, 12 months left makes a hell of a difference in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 If he has stalled this long on signing a new contract then get him sold. Exclude him from pre season if he hasn't gone by the time it starts. This is not the time to start doting over 'one of our own' who obviously doesn't feel the love anymore. It's time to embrace the future and Ross doesn't seem to want to be a part of it. Fair enough. That's business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I kind of feel the same Rusty, in that I don't want us fancying around with players who don't want to be here. Anybody who is not wanted or doesn't want to stay needs to move on ASAP and not take part in Pre Season. No messing around, waiting until August 31st or whatever.

Shukes Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Totally agree, that anyone who doesn't want to be here should be sold as quick as possible. But I have only ever heard Ross say how much he lives the club and wants to be here. He hasn't signed a contract probably because he feels that a lot of fans don't want him here. Have you saw the calibre of player you can get for 20m? I don't think many are better than Ross, that's why I value him more. Just my opinion though and not in any way saying I'm right.

MC11 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) He's more valuable in the squad than he is on the transfer list. Keep saying it but I'm fairly certain Koeman is trying to push him out. Edited May 17, 2017 by MC11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 He's had an offer on the table for some time that the club put forward and he hasn't signed it He's played nigh on every game and Koeman has said there's no better place for him to be other than Everton so I really do struggle to see how people think he's being pushed out markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've confirmed the timeline on this. In December koeman said it wasn't a priority and they would look at discussions in the new year. It was march when the contract was offered. April when he issued the ultimatum. If we wanted him to stay then we haven't exactly been prompt about it have we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is focussing on the season rather than contracts. he'd be an idiot not to haf. the manager said sign by sunday or you're off, you don't say "i'll take my time" you contact your agent and say are we signing or not, if not re-negotiate, or if we're leaving sit tight and shut up.

Hafnia Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Your double standards with Barkley absolutely stagger me. How is it double standards Pad? The only double standards I see is how Barkley has been treated vs others. He was told in November that he may not get offered a new contract... then in December we would look at it in the new year.... then in march it hasn't been offered... then in May a sign it or be sold ultimatum. Maybe he is exercising his right to take his time just like the club have done. After all the club offered Rom a new contract with 2 years remaining... did he get that? Nope. I get the feeling Barkley has been made about as welcome as a fart in a space suit. And this is the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been decidedly average all season Haf, at times jogging around looking completely disinterested yet you excuse him no matter what time and time again. He's no different if he doesn't sign the contract to any other player who refuses to sign one. He gets a walk over an awful lot because he's a blue. If he wasn't his performances wouldn't be tolerated buly most fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Does he bollocks. The lad gets pelted mercilessly. I have called him out for being shite. Like I will any other player. The biggest sin in football is not trying... that's why lukaku gets grief off me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Koeman has said today he isn't confident Barkley will sign the contract, and that we're looking for players in his position so even if he stays there will be added competition. I'm having the same feeling about Ross that I had about Stones - I'd prefer him to stay but he is very replaceable and will not be missed if he does choose to leave.

Sibdane Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yep -- I don't think he'll be here next season, but I'm glad to hear we're looking for players in that position regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 If you'd have said two seasons ago we'd lose him I'd have been gutted but he hasn't hit the heights I'd have hoped tbh He's had a good season and has room to improve but I don't think we'll ever see the player the majority had hoped for, his game isn't as effortless as the likes of Ali who play a pass when it's needed a little flick through ball etc his head doesn't seem to be in sync with his feet I'd love him to stay as he's one of our own and he is a good player but in the same breath I only want players here who want to be and I do think he's very replaceable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed that I'm not disappointed that it looks like he'll be gone in the summer . He's a local lad with all the ability in the world so I should be gutted but, honestly? I really don't care, he hasn't lived up to his billing. Maybe he will elsewhere but like every player that leaves us, I hope he falls flat on his face and achieves the square root of fuck all.
