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

[Simon Paul]

signs a new deal on December 31st

scores a screamer in the next game and runs and jumps into Rhino's arms to celebrate

IF he stays i hope everyone gets behind the lad, he has time to put Martinez and Koeman and injuries behind him and be very very good, has done nowt wrong for me.

It's quite amazing how quickly it might have turned from shit to gold. But after year of criticisms, benching and attacks, a shout of 'come home' was probably as that was needed.

It wasn't the club, as witnessed by Koeman's threat to sell him. It was appreciation and respect of manager, he's got that now.

[GrantyBoy78]

How do you know that?

Because he rejected the contract months before Koeman arrived.

Oh, ok.👍👍

Is Barkley match fit these days?

[smellybum]

One thing that might be in the lads head is the idiotic rant from our owner on the deadline day to Jim White. That might add an extra £10000 a week to his asking price to forgive him.

Still on the bike so no, nowhere near

I think Martinez and Koeman adopted the fellatio technique to keep Lukaku from the door, while simultaneously expecting Ross to produce something out of his arse.

I mean Cuco, Stek, Schneiderlin might be sad to begin with, but I think even he's more loyal players will quickly get on board. Every player has a fresh opportunity to impress and I don't see many ignoring that, I think Unsworth said 5 minutes was what it took.

The deadwood was the manager and he's gone.

[christiffa25]

Ross's problem was Koeman I'm sure of it. I fully expect him to sign.

Hope so anyway....he's better than the other 3 No.10's we signed. And I love him!!

[TheRam]

I'm struggling to be that arsed tbh.

Being miserable is a struggle. I loved the idea of Koeman coming here, I love the fact that he's gone. Cheer up.  I am.

Barkley was one of Martinez favourites

[Ell Capitan]

Think he said Ross would be England's greatest player.

I hope he stays but I'm not deluding myself that he's the answer to much. At least on the last few years form.
