I think all these stories linking Barkley with the spuds are nonsense. I don't think he could play in the same side as alli.
It would be like the whole Gerrard and lampard situation.
Besides I would hate to see him leave us now he has worked hard and looks fitter and stronger in order to develop as a footballer.
If he continues this development, he could actually fulfil the potential we all know he has.

He was criticised for his decision making and time spent dwelling on the ball. In the last 10 games or so, Koeman has sorted this out with him. He is twice the player of last season and it is nocoincidence that he has been recalled to the England squad. We need to let him know he is a top player and that Everton want top players in order to achieve the same champions league ambitions that he has himself. We are close to achieving that now. He should be offered a very lucrative contract because to replace him would cost us an awful lot more. Added to which, there are not many players who could replace him.

Degsy what a point that is mate. I agree completely give Barkley the contract as no matter what we pay him. We will have to come up with a few of around 40million and the same wages we are going to offer him to replace him.

Also the kid is a scouser a home grown English. That sort of player becomes vital when meeting the requirements for europe.

Have we put an offer on the table yet? I would be surprised if there has been no initial talks. I think tie him down to a lucrative deal.
Bit more work from Koeman and perhaps a future captain!
