Gutted about this to be honest, a local lad holding his club to ransom after his first good season with the club. Holding you to ransom you poor little things He's not much of a loss if you look at what other youngsters are doing in the league, Kane, Alli, Lukaku...he's got the potential to be a class player but I don't know if he has the mentality or the intelligence for it. You could replace him with some good scouting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley really isn't that good and if I was Koeman I'd be saying ... "On ya bike kid". Edited May 19, 2017 by LFCMadLad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK85 267 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Would love to know the reasons behind him not signing. We'll try and make it out as if Barkley is in the wrong (and he is sort of for not giving a definitive answer as of yet) but it could be anything for not signing. Not sure I'm liking this constant ultimatum talk from Koeman either. Once or twice is enough but it's every time he's in front of a camera now. I know he's only answering questions put towards him but it's getting too much now. Talk privately and try and sort it out. He's putting a lot of pressure on it.

He scored 12 goals last season so obviously there's talent and ability in him, but you'd expect that to be carried on this season. There must be a reason why he hasn't.

There must be a reason why he hasn't. Nearly every one of our forward players have out numbered Barkley in goals and assists combined this season. Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, Lallana, despite all of them missing significant amounts of the season. I really don't get where all this hype around him comes from? Everton is his level and he's lucky to be playing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter allowed individual freedom where he could basically do whatever he wanted and that shit won't happen under Koeman. It's a much more disciplined and organised system. It's all about the team rather than individual stats and goals. He's been much better this season than last one. His best year for us I'd say.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted May 19, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 19, 2017 Still confused and bothered by this. Should have been done, new contract is the best deal for the player and the club, it's a no brainer. If this goes tits up and Barkley ends up going elsewhere and being a success while we fail to replace him the pitchforks will be out for the board again.

I'd bet Poch would get the most out of him though and maybe he could work his way into the starting line up. It's a risk for him though.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted May 25, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sorry if this belongs in Transfer Rumours thread... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39999869 Wayne Rooney states that the only English club he'd consider moving to is Everton. Would still take him back on a short contract at a reasonable wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What makes him think he can still get a game at Everton? Last resort? Dropped from the England squad and let go by United and now he wants to return to the club that he fucked off when he was 16 HK85 said it right!

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted June 13, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) With the transfers starting to take shape this is something like what our squad could look like... Goalkeepers: Pickford, Robles, Stekelenburg Right Backs: Coleman, Holgate, Kenny Centre Backs: Keane, Funes Mori, Williams, Jagielka Left Backs: Baines, Galloway Deep Midfielders: Gueye, Schneiderlin, Barry, Besic, Davies Left Midfielders: Mirallas, Lookman Attacking Midfielders: Sigurdsson, Barkley, Klaassen, Dowell Right Midfielders: Deulofeu, Lennon Forwards: Sandro, Calvert-Lewin Okay I've included some that potentially shouldn't count like Lennon but from what I'm seeing here, we look over-subscribed at the back (if the touted deals go ahead) and still pretty light up front, especially if you rule out Lennon, Deulofeu and Barkley who could potentially leave and Dowell who may not yet be in the mix. Who do we think will be on their way elsewhere from the rear end of the team? And how many additions do we need to make up top?
