Everton are being really stupid about this really.
He has one year on his contract so no way worth 40 million when we can just get on free next summer.
But £25 million is £25 million - That's a lot of dosh for them to risk. They will need to sell.Well, yeah, but Everton have already agreed really high prices for players with 12 months to go, so they kinda have to insist on getting paid those levels too. They'd be taking a big financial hit and doing it publically, and whoever does their deals won't last long around there if they are accepting sensible prices on sales and paying crazy money on purchases.
They're in a situation where the "principle of it" is a problem.
It'll be great credit to DL if we get this done at a low-ish price. Not easy.
I will be disappointed if this is true but I heard Jim White on talksport earlier saying he has heard Barkley wont leave Everton during this transfer window due to the injury

I agree and if he says it you know its not true.Jim white is a top class prick, don't listen to anything he says
You think it's likely or unlikely to get done?I hear agents playing games and Everton not likely, likey.
Very likely.You think it's likely or unlikely to get done?
Cheers buddy. He's literally the only player I'm bothered about us gettingVery likely.
You can pass a medical while injured - if it doesn't go through that won't be the reason.I will be disappointed if this is true but I heard Jim White on talksport earlier saying he has heard Barkley wont leave Everton during this transfer window due to the injury

As I see it if he is out for six weeks that takes us up to the end of September which is the international break anyway plus of course that is six weeks until a return to playing not a return to training so before the end of October we would have a fit and ready up to speed Barkley to call on.
That being the case I can't for the life of me understand why people think waiting until January, and it would be the end of January, is a good idea.
no, this option would only be available for foreign clubsSorry if this has been asked but could we negotiate with him in January on a free transfer?
I get that this is an open goal in terms of negotiation potential for Levy for numerous reasons, but as we know Chelsea are interested and could be desperate in the last week I'd much rather we do not try and screw every single penny out of the deal and just get it over the line.
