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

[velimski]

Been so long since he played it feels like he's actually left already.

Should help soften the blow when he inevitably does leave.

Not too keen on seeing him play for anyone else mind.

Yeah, it's gonna hurt that one, particularly at that media darling club with their irritating fans who are often on a par arrogance-wise with shite and United supporters.

Think Allerdyce has put his feelers out so to speak, saying that the deal for him to go could be already done. Now if it's not, Barkley or his agent should refute that suggestion right away, if it's true, well him and his agent can just keep quiet....

[Cereal Killer]

Barkley joins Spurs, Pochettino goes to PSG with Alderweireld, Erikksen to Barca, Kane to Real and Spurs drop to a mid table club that won't pay wages to get the top players in

Everton get their shit together and invest and replace Spurs in the top 6

Moving to Spurs is not necessarily a slam dunk it was even 6 months ago. No certainty they’ll make the CL this year, Dele Alli trying to get his super agent deal last I heard (so likely angling for a move down the line), plus others like Alderweireld likely going in the summer. Who knows about Pochettino either.

Spurs are on a bit of a knife edge, they might win something and keep their upward trajectory. On the other side I could see a mini-implosion where they lose a bunch of players and have a few (prime Barkley years) in the wilderness.

[Brownie20]

I've said it before on here but I don't think he has the mentality to be a truly top player. He's obviously a confidence player but he needs to develop an inner steel to deal with things when they are going wrong. Will be sad to see him go but not devastated

[therealdunc]

Think it’s clear after Big Sams comments to the Sky interviewer yesterday that Barkley is gone in Jan.

[TheRam]

He's a rat

[BlueBeagle]

Can't wait for an end to this.

Shittest contract saga of all time.

[eyesalwaysblue]

He must have the most complicated groin in medical history.

[mikey_blue]

I'll deffo boo him on his return to Goodison. Not because I'm a cunt, but because he's probably one of the only players it will actually work on.

[cantoffee]

Pretty sad that we seem to have produced the best talent of the last two generations in England and both will leave without reaching their potential.

I still hope he stays but certainly looks like he's gone.

And who are they?

If you're talking about Barkley, he's nowhere fucking near the best talent of the last 2 generations.

[chang]

Would he not of signed weeks ago if it were happening? Might as well sit around on your arse "injured" earning £100k rather than £30k

[MrWhite]

This is like a game of chinese whispers. Barkley started it off by saying.. absolutely nothing. By the end of the line it’s a 200 page PDF detailing his every thought and subsequent judgement. All based on no actual facts whatsoever?

Who is Allerdyce btw?
