Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[chrismpw]

Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean you have to have sly digs at your former club. It’s not the first thing he’s said that hasn’t gone down well. The ‘not being coached’ comment was pathetic.

That being said, I think Barkley is thick.

I genuinely don't give an arse about him now he doesn't pkay for us. The only interest I'd show in his career is if it nosedives and I will bask in schadenfreude. If get does well, then so what, he's not one of us.

But as you say, he'll always be thick and will never be at the very top as he hasn't a very good brain. He'll never realise what he could've had here and couldn't even shadow (perhaps he lacked the confidence to) what Stevie g did for the rs, despite being gifted the opportunity. The coward.

 

[Baines' left foot]

It’s not the fact that he left it’s the manner in which he did it! He’s a boyhood blue!!! Should show some respect!!!

Was the way going back years. Sure, a player might have a stronger pull for one employer than another, but once you turn pro, thats it. You are a professional footballer with a time limited career.

You will play for whoever pays you the most/wants you. With very few exceptions.

Shearer & Le Tissier are interesting exceptions, especially Le Tiss, tho' Shearer was 25/26 when he joined his beloved club so gave them plenty of peak years too.

Imagine caring this much lol

Imagine not when he's talking every week about how crap being at Everton was

Neither played for free though. But yeah, generally chose club/ego over cups

Except he's not actually done that has he, its just you being over dramatic over a couple of relatively mundane quotes. It's not just you though, or Everton fans... it's just football fans in general, the worlds biggest demographic of overly precious cryarses.

You love him don't you Longers, admit it

Posters of him all over me bedroom walls, the first thing I see every morning is his gloriously dense face staring back at me.

Hahaha, good answer. Just don't think he'd be getting the same publicity, ( don't mean here ) but off all the media if he played for little old Everton.

I kind of agree, why anyone cares about him now I don't know, was bang average at best for us, wouldn't stay here and hasn't been missed.
He's irrelevant, or at least should be, people don't go on about Felliani who was a much better player and a loss to us.
I know Barkley shafted us on the fee but that's the nature of football transfers, we also shatfed United for an extra 30m on Lukaku, swings and roundabouts

No mate by keep mentioning his lack of coaching he means when he played for inter Milan

Course he's on about us. He's trying everything to get back in the England squad ie throwing us under the bus for him being a thick peice of mud. Hope he breaks every bone in his body

His comment about lack of coaching makes some sense given Martinez used to basically let him do whatever and made several comments about how you should just let him do his thing rather than give him strict instructions.

His following managers were then Koeman and Allardyce, he was injured whilst Allardyce was manager and so that leaves Koeman as the only manager one can make a case for in terms of properly 'coaching' him. He's then gone from those 3 managers to Conte & Sarri... its a pretty big upgrade.

But sure keep wishing someone breaks every bone in their body, perfectly normal behaviour lol

So blame Martinez who he played his best football in career under? Or koeman who give him tough love but had a very good season under then never played a minute in the second season

He's a rat who has ripped us off the minute he rejected 5ye first move away to get a nice signing on fee

Fans like you is what's wrong with our club. Probably clap him when he comes back as well. Eeeeee

 

[ToffeeTim]

He doesn't deserve boos or claps when he returns. He deserves ignored. He's an irrelevance. We've moved on and he's moved on. We've lost far better players than him and coped just fine.

Who cares that he keeps bringing us up in the media. That's up to him. He must have very little better to do.

Who has been coached by them mate ? You or Ross Barkley ? Who do you think is more likely to know what they are talking about, random angry mateyboy on the internet or the person who trained with these managers every single day ? You've instantly come to the conclusion that he's certainly chatting wham because you have preconceived bias against him for leaving Everton. You're not capable of being objective as you've displayed in your previous posts, Im not saying he's definitely telling the truth but it hardly seems a stretch to think he's received improved coaching under Conte and Sarri compared to Martinez, Koeman and Allardyce. He's at a competitive successful club now, do you seriously think there would be no improvement in the standard of coaching ?

Fans like you is what's wrong with our club. Probably clap him when he comes back as well. Eeeeee

I bet you love a good 'boo' don't you. Top blue you lad. Proper Everton

Imagine being so obsessed with an ex-Everton player that you feel the need to defend him every time he is criticised by Evertonians for what he did.

It’s hilarious and cringeworthy at the same time. Poor lads, they just can’t let him go. I reckon they still have dreams about him and wake up in tears that he has gone and head straight to this thread to let it all out.
