Price for Barkley is the only debate


TRANSFER TALK


The press are reporting that Tottenham are having second thought over Ross Barkley which isn't true, Spurs still want to sign him and remains one of the players top of the list, we simply won't pay a daft asking price.

Barkley has one year left on his contract so the stupid £50m figures were never realistic and the new £35m figure is way too high also. He is free in a year and Everton, having already bought his replacement, will have to sell him. All clubs have to do is wait and increase the pressure on Everton and the price will have to drop.

Not showing interest or putting about stories of second thought is simply a negotiating tactic. To apply pressure you make the other party like they might lose something, in this case a buyer, with the desire of forcing them to concede in an area, on this occasion on price.

The press are speculating about Chelsea and Arsenal, but the latter named only have UEFA Europa League football to offer players so they are now a last resort. He has stated he wants UEFA Champions League football and he is known to favour Spurs feeling working with Mauricio Pochettino will be good for his game and his career.

There are some suggestions that a deal has already been agreed while others talk of a stalemate on price. Early July will tell us.
