If we can only get £25m for Barkley then I'd like to see us let him run out his contract rather than sell. If Arsenal are willing to do it with Sanchez then why not us? Even with Rooney, Klaasen, Sandro and Sigurdsson (maybe) there is still room for him to play in the first team - let him get a few games early on and make him feel a big part of the team. If we're doing well mid season then offer him another contract and see what happens.

Huge difference between the two scenarios, sanchez is a key player who the manager would hate to lose, ross barkley is now, hate to say it, a squad player who is out of favour with our manager, no future of playing so what's the point in keeping. get rid.

Just curious on this, has Barkley submitted a transfer request? You hear about Mahrez and Van Dijk submitting one but nothing about Ross handing one in.
{Ed002's Note - No.}

take what we can get, and invest it in someone who wants to be here, what they may lack in insperation, will at least be made up for in persperation, box to box and comeing back, quickly when we lose posesion.

If you listened to the debate on sky sports last night Alan Pardew was talking about those scenarios, he said usually this comes from the agent when player terms are on the table with another club, it's a way of starting the fee negotiations.
reason Ross has not done that is there is nothing on table yet, even if he wanted to leave he could of signed a contract worth 120k a week and been settled his move would of come eventually as long as he performed
Spurs would have to smash there wage structure as no one on over 100k there then you would have a knock on effect, this team has come 2 seasons to early with stadium move there my team to drop out of top 4 next season.
{Ed025's Note - actually kane and loris are on £125k a week metz but you are right about the rest mate..
