I think Mo Po could turn Ross into a terrific player. England needed Ross to reject a long spell in the Chelsea reserve team.

mmm....not surprised. There are always two sides to an incident, and although Costa is no angel (far from it!), Conte comes out badly in the way he handled himself in respect of Costa. Barkley is a player in desperate need of guidance (on and off the pitch) to reach is full potential - and that is Poch's strong suit. No wonder Barkley wants to come to Spurs.

Poch is building a reputation as a guy players want to play for. This is key as, so far, it seems to have mitigated a sub-optimal pay scheme. I think this can be inferred (Rose apart) from a lack of public complaint. Also the rock solid commitment in many of the players to spurs.

Poch has deep respect throughout the game. Whether we get Barkley at the winter transfer window or not - Poch is the jewel in the crown.

It was obvious that when he changed his mind it was because he wants us and credit to him for sticking to his guns.

You don't see this from players very much any more and its great to see.

He wouldn't have been fit to play till Jan and I hope we all welcome him considering what he has sacrificed to wait for us, he wont train or play with Evertons first team, he'll be treated like an outcast, also he's given up any chance of an England place probably next season.

Well done Ross Barkley.

Just wait and some secondary site will publish the points in their story. Well done on refusing to participate with that hateful organ of the right.

Can't play til January and come January his value will be halved - this is a good business decision.
