Ed002 do you have any information on Ross Barkley's situation in regards to whether or not he will sign a new contract?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I think he would still need to be convinced that signing a new contract is the best thing for him - he knows Spurs are keen and he knows signing a new contract would possibly price him out a move elsewhere at a later date. He needs good advice.}

Could just be rumours, but I’ve heard a lot made of his off the field problems here in Liverpool and that his desire to get away is more fuelled by this? He is apparently being terrorised by people and he needs to get out of the city. As I say, this could possibly just be total conjecture and tittle tattle! You do have to wonder though why a boyhood blue would want to move away from his club.
{Ed002's Note - It is little to do with who a player supports - they will look for success and the chance to play at the highest level.}

Would love the lad to stay. He is a good player in my opinion, injury free, fit and with his confidence returned (some so-called supporters booing the lad does not help) he is a very good asset to Everton. Whether Unsworth is ready for first Team Management is beyond my pay grade but personal opinion as far as Barklay goes it can only be a good thing at this time that Unsworth is in charge. I think we should leave the intricaces of Club Management etc! to those that are better qualified. We can then enjoy ourselves in rumour and speculation. COYB.

He’s off. No doubt about it.

I understand completely what you are saying regarding playing at the highest level, and Everton can’t offer that right now. My point was more about his off field problems (if true) being more of an incentive to leave than for actual footballing reasons.

Didn’t someone called Gerrard have far worse off field dramas than what Ross has and eventually he stayed with reds .
I just think if he is to go for once we play hard ball with that Bloke from Spurs and don’t let him go for a song!
Ok he can go for free in the summer but the amount of money he could save us by staying up might be worth him staying and seeing if a new manager can encourage him to stay.

If the guy has problems within the City, move out of the area, not Every Everton player lives in Liverpool, there’s places like Southport, Cheshire and the likes he could move to, throw a house into the deal instead of a signing on fee, once that contract is signed we then at least get a decent fee if he moves on in a year or so.
Hand on heart though, with the flak the guy gets, would you want to come into this Everton team, he would have to perform like Messi and De Broyne rolled into onetokeep certain fans off his back.
