Never mind Bottom Four Bob, how long before Top Four Uwe is being touted for a top Premier League job?. As much as we don’t want it to happen if he keeps this up it is just a matter of time. IN UWE WE TRUST.
“Everton manager Roberto Martinez is set to offer experienced on-loan midfielder Gareth Barry a £50k per week deal in order to land the England midfielder on a permanent deal at the end of the season when he is a free agent.
“Barry would earn a staggering £8m over the course of the contract according to the Mirror and the deal would take Barry through to the ripe old age of 36. Barry’s current £120k per week deal with Manchester City ends in the summer.”

Madness !
Madness? But football is a mad world!
Statsbomb; Mistakes like this at Everton’s level are likely to yield a plunge in performance that takes years to dig out of, especially since the clubs around them (Liverpool, Swansea, Aston Villa, Southampton) suddenly seem really smart.
Liverpool are in a different financial league to the rest. They are willing to pay Suarez £200,000 per week. Even so, they have been out of the top four for four years.
Swansea won the League Cup, came through the Europa League and sacked their manager.
Aston Villa have flirted with relegation for two seasons. In January 2011, they paid £18 million, potentially rising to £24 million, to Sunderland for Darren Bent. He is now on loan to Fulham.
Southampton are one of the biggest spenders in European football. Their Swiss owner, Markus Liebherr, died leaving his daughter Katharina as owner. Chairman Nicola Cortese disapproved of her desire to sell the club and has now walked out.
Everton look a model of conservative management in comparison.

And if Everton, a club with Champions League ambitions, consider him to be a key member of their team, then no transfer fee and £50k per week isn’t really a huge sum for them to spend. I agree, the whole thing is madness but, in relative terms, I’m not sure that this is.
The fact that you personally might not rate Barry is irrelevant, I suppose. All depends on the value put on him by the manager.
The clubs who finish in fifth and sixth place will qualify for the Europa League.
And, at the moment, Everton are in sixth place.
Can Roberto qualify again?
Welcome back!
Good to see some new posts on the old thread.
Remember, any old comment will do. It doesn’t have to be sensible.
Good riddance Everton. Now just the genuine cup holders left in the FA Cup. That’ll pi55 off the Martinez loving media who seem to think it’s still his cup too.
