It will be like when Liverpool snatched Joe Cole from us (and we had to settle for van der Vaart instead!)
I see little downside if we can get him for £25m as if he doesn't work out we'll always be able to flog him to someone like Stoke for similar money. Upside is that he develops into a £50m player. I really hope we get him

I still think there is potentially a top player in there, and that specifically Pochettino is exactly the sort of manager he needs to become that (if he ever will).
Given that we are unlikely to ever really lose money on him I think he is well worth a shot.

He is deceptively tall.6' 2" apparently.
Aurier, Wanyama, Llorente, Dembele, Toby, Sissoko.....I think Levy is taking this NFL thing a bit far.

I wouldn't have said so. His physicality is his biggest asset. He can bully his way through players the way Dembele and Gazza do/did

Well I didn't think he was that tall so it deceived me at least (and @Kandi1977)

25-30Mil for Barkley is a no brainer - Townsend being talked about as a 27Mil player at the moment
Also think he is suffering from Everton seemingly slagging him off, which seems to have started when he didnt want to stay.
Poch could really turn him into a very good player

I think that Levy is closer to his true valuation for an injured player, with a year left on his contract, who has fallen out with his club.

Im not sure what Everton are doing. Except maybe trying to incite a bidding war?
They hold no aces in this deal, so it makes little sense to me they act as they do.
The player is injured, alienated by the manager, has refused a contract and now has only 1 season on his contract and has already been replaced at great expense. This is literally the last chance they have to make ANY money on him.
£20m is probably a fair price. Up to £30m as has been reported is excellent business for them - especially as he is an academy product - the books will show that all as profit.
So is this just like WBA/Berahino where their chairman just wanted to swing his dingdong around and look like a proper big club (but fail)?

Gazza is 5"9 so you can be physical and not tall- I didn't realize he was as tall as that.

And there lies the problem. I agree from our/Levy's perspective around £20m is about right. If Everton don't sell now, he walks for nothing from January.
On the flip side, from their perspective, Sigurðsson is worth almost 50m, Ox Chamberlain almost 40m with just a year left, so Barkley a 23 year old goal scoring England international should get at least 30m. With the injury, 25m might do it.
Can only go for free in Jan to overseas clubs though right?

I believe so, pre contract with non UK sides can be signed in Jan.
And blatantly would have a UK move tied up by then as well, though officially not allowed to discuss until the summer I believe.
