Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[DanEFC92]

He's made a total arse of his career. Pleasing.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We had Chelsea off when we got 15m for him, we really did

We could have got twice that if Ross hadn't chosen to run down his contract

If the point of being a pro football is to make your fame and fortune, then running the contract down and getting as much for yourself for the same move, then he did the right thing.

Anyway, now he is off to Villa, I officially am going to not give a moment's more thought about him.*



*unless he does something absolutely moronic or crazy or newsworthy.

Yep I think it was about 35m fee agreed. He then came back, we had to continue his rehab for a further 3 months to basicslly get him fit so he could sod off and sign for Chelsea on the cheap.

I'm not arsed how much money he's made, he'll always be known as a scruffy little knobhead who jumped at the chance to leave and in the process ripped his boyhood club off.

 

[Carlito]

I think he'll do alright at Villa, but it's certainly a step down.

Seems as though that first season under Koeman will end up being the best of his career.

6 months later they could of had him for free.

Besides he was overated to delusional levels by a lot of Evertonians, as we have seen.

More fool you Jack. Just wait until he's passing it backwards to Tyrone Mings every time he has the ball.

 

[Toast]

Would have liked him to have gone to Newca

More fool you Jack. Just wait until he's passing it backwards to Tyrone Mings every time he has the ball.

Jacks just glad he won’t come last in the Tuesday afternoon quiz anymore.

two overhyped midfielders together. Weirdly it would have been interesting to see what Carlo could have got out of Ross. I don’t think he’s had any decent coaching in his career apart from maybe at first under Moyes then under Sarri. Aside from that it’s been Martinez Koeman and now Lampard. Complete clowns.

[efcjames]

Surprised it took this long really.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

He'll probably do well there. Good signing for Villa.

Nah.

 

[Tony1985]

You have to wonder what Ronald koeman is doing at a jaguars game.
Lol at Ross.
