I just had a gut feeling Barkley would score well in Jimbo.

Always happens, if we have someone in the news or having a dip in form they seem to pop up with a goal, same happened with Jags a few weeks back, written off but popped up with two winning goals, will have a virtual Jd and coke off you ha ha.

There is some muscle flexing going on over the barkley situation, but
I don't think the player holds all the cards.
Koeman is clearly. whether his approach is liked or not. saying he is not, prepared to let players decide their destinies to the detriment of the club's planning. If Barkley does not sign and stays on to run down his contract. he may find himself benched a lot and that will not do his international aspirations any good.
I think Koeman is saying we have been patient, but it is time to say that the club which gave the player his opportunity to play professional football has the right to press on without being left hanging at the end of fishing line and a fair minded player should out of respect for the club and the fans who pay him declare his intent, so both sides can move on.
Or do fairness and decency, dare I say, ethics, have to give way to me, me, me. it's all about me?

I thought he was just stating the obvious. ie if Barkley does not sign this week, other clubs will made aware that he is for sale and he will be sold this transfer window to the highest bidder.

Hi Ed any news on the young Swiss striker that Spanish bob signed last summer he been on loan I forget his name has he got a future with us.

{Ed025's Note - i think you mean shani tarashaj buster, the last i heard he was doing very well mate but have not been updated lately, maybe other posters who follow this sort of thing can enlighten us..

12 May 2017 17:10:46
He's at frankfurt, doing OK I suppose, started a couple of games, been injured and more sub appearances than starts. Did score a worldly earlier in season.

I remember Mark Crossley being interviewed about when he signed a contract extension at Forest. Cloughie called him into his office and said that they decided to offer a contract extension to him so he needs to sign. Crossley looked at the contract and saw that nothing had been filled in on it. So he said to Cloughie it needs to be filled in first. To which Cloughie said No young man you just sign at the bottom and I will fill in the rest when I have decided exactly what you're worth.

Brilliant.

So when RK tells Ross he has one week to sign or be sold just remember that like Cloughie, our clubs manager will not be messed about. Just be glad you have the terms in place and the opportunity to serve this fine club for another 5 years or so.

COYB.

{Ed002's Note - Yet again he is washing the laundry in public - it is completely unprofessional.}

12 May 2017 13:35:02
private conversations have obviously came to nothing so maybe rk thinks public discussion may force ross into a decision one way or the other.

12 May 2017 15:59:29
I have to agree with you ed002 on this one I wish RK wouldn't do these type of things.

12 May 2017 17:35:53
Still disagree with ed002 on this matter. The contract has been ready for some time now and RB is no nearer to signing it, the longer it goes on then the likelihood is that it won't be signed. If he won't sign it then the club need to find a replacement, on top of whatever else we need, and this needs to be done as early as possible. With only a year left on his current deal the lad needs to let the club and the fans know what his intentions are. Obviously RK does not want to lose him for free so he is only being honest with the ultimatum.

12 May 2017 18:07:50
It is no different to the other managers. Mourhino on Rooney and depay, puel on VVD, conte on Costa, pulis on berahino. These guys are asked in every interview about the same question and most just answer honestly. RK admits he doesn't get too involved in negotiations but knows enough to say, if he doesn't sign we will have to sell. I don't see it as unprofessional, just pointing out the obvious.

{Ed002's Note - You are scratching around trying to justify an unprofessional manager - it is a little embarrassing.}

I'm one of the most sentimental Everton fans but I'm sick to death of this rom and ross situation and not arsed if they stay or go anymore. We can't be tip toeing around these prima donnas either sign or **** off so we're in a great position to move forward as a club don't need these 2 Creating hurdles if they're not committed. Sigurdson Rooney klassen sandro tielmans plus another striker will do me fine. Tielmans is the only one out of them that would be really hard to get. Got a feeling we'll spend big on a CB Van dijk or kouilaby hopefully.

I think I've read about bidding for VVD on here about 3 times now, you have zero chance with city and Chelsea in for him.

12 May 2017 13:12:46
What sort of chance have the Reds Den82?

12 May 2017 21:24:37
About the same as you, absolutely zero.

12 May 2017 23:03:31
Your posts are far too positive Den82.
