Ross Barkley

And if United offer 20m for Barkley the market is setting his price so your 35m valuation is irrelevant by your logic.

Personally I think your "one offer setting the market rate, even just at that one time the offer is made as it is the only offer" is still bollocks anyway. 1 club making an offer is not a market, it is one negotiation between two clubs. Maybe look up what market means.

keep the insults coming, sweet sweet tears<laugh> I'll be able to make a pot of tea at this rate.

Oh sweet Lord, the idiocy <doh>

If we said we were open to offers & the best offer on the table was £20m then his market value would be £20m, if we valued him at £35m & refused to trade, that has zero relevance to what the market concluded his value was.

All of which is irrelevant anyway, as despite your eagerness to see him leave, he's taken your captains advice & he's no intention of going anywhere.

Please keep your pointless efforts to define a barter as a market process on the Liverpool thanks Tobes. I'm sure foredeck will get lonely if you start having useless arguments about pointless concepts with someone other than him <ok>

I'll keep myself off this board all together, with ****ing pleasure, you patronising twat.

I would be interested though to hear from Tobes what he thinks of Barkley diving all over the shop this weekend considering his visceral hatred of cheaters.
 
So.... going back a few pages...

What mistake did Rooney make leaving Everton?

Obviously he made the mistake of winning titles playing in the CL, winning a CL and personal awards as well as the massive mistake of nice endorsements and a big pay packet to spend on grannies in catsuits.
 
No need to pillage from Everton.

Besides Powell and Will Keane will be making transition to first team by next season to boost the squad and maybe some deadwood will leave.
