Ross Barkley


TRANSFER TALK


Limiting finances and a lack of ambition from David Moyes has kept Everton as arguably the best of the rest, although since Moyes left they have struggled to maintain that mantle.

Now that Tottenham have shown clubs that if you employ a quality coach who can improve players, rather than just fit players together into a system as most average coaches do, then you can achieve results greater than the sum of your parts.

Ronald Koeman has steadied the ship at Everton and we'll have to wait and see how his spending goes and whether the players succeed or not.

Ross Barkley, in my opinion, should have left Everton hen he had the chance to go to Manchester United, he was always going to stagnate without training with better players, as I wrote at the time, so not hindsight chaps. That prediction has come true, he is no different now than he was a few years ago and Dele Alli overtook him in just 7 games.

The lad is still only 23, not 24 until December and still has the time to improve his game. Mauricio Pochettino sees that in him and wants to bring him to Spurs, Barkley wants to come but at the moment Everton have suggested a ridiculous fee for a player with a year left on his contract. He could always wait a year and leave for free, Everton don't want that, naturally..

They have to sell really, especially as they have already bought his replacement and thus will have to lower the price to sensible proportions, which will mean a waiting game until August perhaps. They will not want to be paying two wags unnecessarily so after our kit is announced this could happen quick.
