Ross Barkley. Will he, or won't he?

[GrantyBoy78]

Imagine the Chelsea fans dismay when they are used to the swift interchanges of Hazard, Willian and Pedro and then they get the ball hogging indecision of Barkley on a bad day.

It’ll be interesting to see if that can get coached out of him. Hope it can’t...because, yes, I’m bitter.

[Shogun]

£15m is fair. Put it in the coffers along with maybe £10m for Mirallas off anyone who may be interested and that’s bought us a new striker for no outlay and no material loss to the squad.

£10m seems a lot for him.

For all the shit Mirallas gets, we did get a fair bit out of him considering he only cost £6m.

[D15TIN]

Surely this is a good opportunity to include Batshuayi in any deal? Have him, Tosun and Calvert-lewin as our striking options, sell niasse

[Lazarou]

Still can't believe this is happening, can't imagine what he will bring to Conte's Chelsea side other than he is English ( too much FM18). Say's a lot about his mentality.

Someone doesn't understand odds. 10to1 is 9% chance and that's before you consider the bookies overround

Then 1 to 7 (which was mentioned as the odds of him going to Chelsea) must be a 700% chance of him going there.

He was a bargain for 2 and 1/2 years (intermittent fitness issues aside).

Thanks Everton for helping me through my injury, helping me with my rehabilitation, letting me use the facilities to get fit, letting me carry on wearing your colours

Now fuck off

So it looks like it was in all likelihood a deal between Chelsea and his advisors in the summer then which called it off and did us out of £20m.

All this ‘Wasn’t sure if Conte really wanted him’ rubbish was probably a way of getting a bigger signing on fee and a decent agent slice in return for them saving a large chunk of cash. Nice work.

Well thought out plan by him and Chelsea, go and get fit and we'll buy you for half price in Jan and give you a bigger signing on bonus

[velimski]

Well at least it isn't Spurs. That would have been a bigger kick in the bollocks.

What? 1to 7 is 87.5% chance

Look's like today's the day. I'm not going to say Ross and his agent's got one over on us, But it does look like it. I suppose we'll all have to wait for Ross's book. More cash in the bank. Pretty angry at all of this, me.

"Barkley, who decided against a £35m transfer to Chelsea on the final day of the window to concentrate on his recovery from a serious hamstring problem."

And earn a bit more coin

[Cereal Killer]

Stick him on the bench tonight and make him spend 90mins warming up in front of our fans
