I wanna know what Barkley is smokingAs I said earlier in this thread, this paper has a very good source at the club. Barkley is asking for £150k
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.I wasn't aware I had to run my credentials past anyone to pass on a small amount of information. I wouldn't normally ever claim to be ITK, and I'm not really now. In fact, I wasn't going to mention this at all because I didn't want any journalists who use the site to get the story before they did. Then I noticed The Mirror story and people immediately claiming it was bullshit. So I thought it would be useful to know that another national is, independently, running the same story.
What god would that do ya? I want empirical data and trials with what he is smoking. Then I will report back on its obvious altering effects.I wanna know what Barkley is smoking
Yes, on average, we pay more than Everton. Not sure how all the new contracts will pan out for them.It's not that we can't pay more wages because we generate more finance than Everton, it's more a case of levy refuses to play the same game as the others he prefers to do it his way as we well know.
There was ITK before the season even ended saying we didn't like what he was asking for wages.So after months of talking to Barkley we've only just got around to asking what wages he wants...Right.

This is new information. Two national newspapers, independently of each other, have both written a story about Barkley expecting £150k. They didn't both make up a story and coincidentally come up with the same figure. What we do know is Barkley is asking for a similar amount to stay at Everton. When the story breaks that he's looking for similar from us, why do we suddenly assume it's BS? Mainly because it doesn't fit in with what we want.
Wow! You can just feel the tension floating away.JJ on Mirror £150k Report

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.Or the paper just made it up.

Breezer said yesterday Barkley took step closer hope its true for my own sanity I'm losing my mind over our lack of activityLot of it going on in the media ATM regarding all the top clubs so I'm told.

And JJ is right, Barkley wants to come, wages are not the issue.
