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

[bacon sarnie]

London bound.

[KoemansNumberTens]

Roberto told him he would an England great in the future, so we can't afford to let him slip away.

Should we re sign tom cleverley?

Luckily we've still got the best one on one defender at the club on the books. Shame he's at Sunderland like.

[TheTone]

a cuppa and a chat with Unsie and it'll be sorted, will send some Barrys Teabags over, don't need any of that Tetley shite

[everton1952]

Blimey do Sunderland know that? They should play him as they are heading into Division 3. I think Oveido has survived out of the EFC contingent, oh and Rodwell is playing. What the hell happened to him since he left us? 

[Ell Capitan]

Instead of him going to Pochettino, maybe Pochettino can come here?

[Robioto]

I think the damage is already done, he'll still go.

I really hope not though.

A bit of a turmoil in the last few weeks but let's not forget Ross has never fulfilled his potential , never other than a spark here and one there .Will he ever get there ? At his age the chances are getting slimmer .His only hope is that he get's his act together . For me at this moment I wouldn't blink if he went ,he needs to prove himself worthy of all the adulation on here .

He should be fit soon. He'll have until January to show us if he's improved at all. He's better than some we've got when he's not playing so well though.

But that isn't what we want is it really ,we don't just want better we want good enough to win something .

[Duncs_a_legend]

He's be stupid not to really. The midfield is poor enough for him to break in to.

[Gash]

I think he'll stay now. Depends how many bridges he burned or whether it was just Koeman he fell out with? It would be a bit ironic if he got his wish of Koeman leaving and the club still didn't go back with a contract offer.

If he's playing at his peak, he'll deserve a place in a trophy winning team. I'd bet my house on it if I didn't live in a Flat.

my recall of the situation was Ross didn't want a new contract....a situation not solely brought on by koeman..his decision was obviously made prior to the end of the season....

the situation was subsequently exacerbated by Koeman and his attitude towards him...ie; sign or you'll be sold attitude....

for me what was said was irrelevant as ross had already made his mind up to leave...you could argue that keomans "treatment" of ross by leaving him out substituting him etc, brought on the frame of mind by ross of wanting to leave....if that's the case why would ross expect not to be left out or taken off..what makes him so special for this not to happen...and does he expect this not to happen if he goes to another club..? and if it does will he want to leave them..why would koeman leaving change that attitude?

hope he stays though

Just similar to what I thought really, expect the young Spurs players were in his ear on the England trips last year. Think people were making excuses for him because he's a blue, truth probably is he just wants to better himself, you know champions league and such.
