Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[jackyboy]

Will judge if he is still in the Chelsea team at the end of the season.

The Cult of Ross Barkley.

Maybe his leaving hurt some lads even more than Rooneys' did? Not me, tho'...when our very own boy wonder left us after an amazing Euro 2004 I've been numb ever since to our best players leaving.

Loads of rubbish I’m afraid, you’re making stuff up and I knew from your post in the today’s football thread that you’d go straight to the one example of him doing something bad rather than focusing on a generally very solid performance.

There’s more to football than highlight reel plays, he looked very comfortable at times against one of the inform teams in international football.

But yes better to wait until the end of the season before hailing him as being amazing, he’s on the right path though and he had a good game against very good opposition... trying to break down and downplay his match into one good pass and one bad pass is comically bitter though.

He was 6/10 at best, and that's adding one point for the pass.

Mad that people say he’s a rat and they’re glad he’s gone yet continue to repeatedly try and justify their stance.

Not glad he's gone,but his refusal to sign for Chelsea then an about turn that cost us millions (even though money isn't in short supply it would seem now).Not what you would expect from an alleged Blue.

Football isn't like most people's jobs though. Let's be realistic.

Tbh I've kind of got over the Barkley resentment, though I still miss him. I hope he scores one against the RS.

Indeed.

I have no gripes about him leaving but, on the face of it, he stitched our club up to the tune or around fifteen or twenty million quid.

And my sympathies are totally with my club in situations such as these ergo I have nothing but contempt for Barkley.

I make no apologies for thinking or saying that nor will I hesitate to join in the inevitable chorus of booing which will accompany him on to the pitch when he plays for Chelsea at Goodison.

Think your going to be disappointed with that mate, well according to some of the pro Barkley comments on here.
Can see some of these actually cheering if Ross goes and scores against us.

lol


But as we all know, thus forum rarely reflects the opinion at the match.

And Ross will be given a torrid reception.

But as you say, the boys on the match thread on here will be tut tutting and calling us the most ungrateful fans in der werrrrlddd.

I hope we do to Barkley what the Kopites do to Sterling every time he goes there.....render him totally useless on the pitch

Just hope we stuff Chelsea that day, better than any booing, will give me far more pleasure anyway.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Tbf I don't think anyone's going to be cheering for Barkley like they did with, say, Hinchcliffe. It'll be more like that time where Gary Speed played for Newcastle against us. If I was Sarri I'd bench him.
