Ross Barkley

[JUAN PABLO]

£5m tish.

More than I thought


Gone from free to 2 million to 5 million now ..

If it’s in the region £5m it’s still a very nominal fee in the context of the premier league.

Pray he's on a short deal (1 year) or some sort of pay as you go deal.
A 3 year deal for this player won't end well.

oh do stop

[Percy McCarthy]

A Luton podcaster I listened to on one of the Villa pods said £5-7m a couple of weeks ago.

Excellent. Tim thinks he’s going to be crap. That’s an almost copper-bottomed guarantee that he won’t be.

[Louzie0]

My Luton supporter friend says we are getting an absolute gem, so that’s nice to hear!

Welcome back Ross.

Could go either way, but I lean towards him being a very useful signing.

[AV84]

Why is the players agreement expected in July? Is it just because he's on holidays?

His current contract runs out then?

I think Luton have the option to extend but we’re paying them not to.

Oh, so officially he can't sign until then but everything is actually agreed before that. So no shirt stretching for at least 4 weeks then.

I think so. Read it somewhere. Might even have been on here.

Luton held an option to renew his deal. In that context I think £5m is very generous.

Well, they would. "Yeah we've got relegated but you're paying for a chunk of our new stadium".
