Think it's pretty safe to assume this "report" is firmly in the false category.

Yeah, no national paper would ever regurgitate the info from another... the echo chamber for bull shit is just loud,regardless of whether the original story is bs or not.

Yes, on average, we pay more than Everton. Not sure how all the new contracts will pan out for them.
We have a wage structure. He is not even a guaranteed starter. There is no player in the starting XI who's spot he will be taking. If he is, indeed, asking for more than a double golden boot winner and one of the best keepers in the world, he ought to go on to Chelsea, or City or ManU where they would not blink at 150k GBP weekly. I don't see any other top 6 teams looking to sign him. Again, he would not start for any of them
All due respect, he needs to earn it. If he is not willing to do that within the team structure, then he does not belong in this team. Vukovic is miles better as a player. There are others out there. I actually am very interested to see how Winks does this year.

There was ITK before the season even ended saying we didn't like what he was asking for wages.
This is not something even remotely new. Simply people with very short memories.

If someone gives him what he wants, good for him. He hasn't earned it. Far too many holes in his game for that. It's why Everton were not prepared to offer more than 100k/week. Instead, they are buying other players and trying to offload him.
On the good side, such demands, which we will not meet, will only serve to push down the amount that Everton will get for him.

If that is the case.... no deal gonna happen for a above average player losing ball in his own half.

Just because two papers are printing it, doesn't mean it's separate sources. When some reveals something they often do it to multiple journos. By the same token, it doesn't dictate whether or not the source is right or wrong. This info could be spot on or pure BS.
What I would say, as others have said, is that it's extremely unlikely the transfer would have rumbled on this long without us and Barkley being aware of each other's expected salary stance.
Whether true or not, regardless of transfer fee, I like Barkley but I don't want us signing anyone who will come in on higher wages than Harry unless it's Messi.

The Mirror are one of the most unreliable news outlets up there, they shouldn't be trusted and have be known literally to make up fake news to sell papers.
I can't believe awful journalists such as John Cross even have a job. They're a bunch of journalists with bias agendas.

So why would anyone leak such news? My guess is Everton as they want to rid him so paint him as a mercenary...
Hence a deal might be close as suggested 20m + 5m add ons.

Lot of it going on in the media ATM regarding all the top clubs so I'm told. There aren't the leaks at most clubs like there once was,, and yet they still have column space to fill.
And JJ is right, Barkley wants to come, wages are not the issue.

Because it gets hits - the "Spurs pay low wages, it's holding them back" gets hits from our fans, who hate it, and other fans who love to laugh
It's not a new technique from papers - they're there to sell papers/get clicks
The guy who said "We've been after him for ages, we'd have known this by now" was spot on (sorry, can't remember who it was) - sometimes logic gets left at the door with football...frequently in fact!
