Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

Well maybe, but point is as you say, poor players can have a on blob game once in a while, good players do it on a weekly basis
One of Everton's best players in the Martinez period.

But as you say, he must be rubbish. Chelsea are noted for buying rubbish players.
 

He might well do but he will be on loan next season at Newcastle or the likes of.
Like he was never going to Chelsea or any other top club and only Newcastle, Bournemouth etc etc would ever have bought him from Everton?

When is this nonsense going to stop? He left. That's all there is to it. Keeping up a vendetta on a player let down by Koeman and the carpetbagging owner is pretty poor.

I'm not arsed where he plays and for who, but what I will say is he won't be there next season, and the reason is he isn't good enough.Plus I don't think a lot of Everton fans enjoyed the way he shafted the club.

He stands about as much chance of being there as any Chelsea player outside Willian and Hazard.

No mate.

Chelsea buy cheap English players to fill the quota of home grown players to compensate them spending millions on foreign talent.

Barkley was cheap at 15 million and forms a part of the squad. That's why Chelsea bought him. Lads got talent but 5 years later has never developed into anything worthy of note. That's the saddest part about Ross, he could have been world class but instead sat on his arse and tried to coast through a career.

His career has threatened to take off into the stratosphere a few times. There doesn't seem to be the consistency there though. For my money, that's down to managers who cant quite harness what he has. And I think the type of managers that would have get that are in the past and not now part of the modern game.

I agree , he was poorly managed whilst he was here. I know you will disagree but Martinez set his career back massively in my opinion. He never got the focus to develop, he was sent out to be Ross Barkley every week which was fine in the first season but each year proved Ross Barkley was a one dimensional player who was easily sussed out by the better players in the league.
