Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Lord Buckethead]

Barely bothers to break into a jog these days.
All his fight is gone.

Next stop Newcastle or Palace to get him off the wage bill.

No chance. He's awful.. I've a mate who's a villa supporter. They can't wait until he's gone now..

My two Villa supporting mates are of the same opinion.

rs are toying with the idea of having his Fatwa recinded and signing him...allegedly.

Betya he'd go to, at one time it would have sickened me just the thought of him going to the rs, now I honestly couldn't care less.

About either, yet here we are...he seems an English Gomes type...looks great the odd time.

Could see him at Watford next season, if/when they come up, either way Chelsea wont want him.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He was always an in between player. Not enough defensive work to play box to box but not good enough in the final third to be strictly an attacker.

 

[Efcjake]

The falling of his stature in the game brings me great happiness.

Utter rat snake.

I used to think there was something there, but have now decided he’s largely gash. I hope Villa are stupid enough to sign him, but suspect they’ve had their own Damascene conversion and will drop kick him back to SW6.

Muff cabbage should get an assist or at least make a good run between now and end of the season. Then the Roscoe jizz gulpers be on giving it the large. They tend to come along every quarterly.

They have been feeding off scraps since Chelsea. Jizz scraps.

No they are not.

He is a skilful player, just like Deulofeu, he simply doesn't have the maturity to be a great footballer. In the past players were trained mentally as well as physically how to be great footballers, that's no longer the case. He's like that popular kid, you knew from school, whose still doing the same thing he did when he was 15.

I think in some ways, it's harder for the players who were great at youth level, to take the same form into the adult game, unless they have Rooney's aggression or Gerrard's ability to perform in big games. I don't think Barkley ever had a particularly strong mindset. If you look at Barton, he never really developed as an adult, he just got up the same stuff his family were involved in, that's what got him into trouble. Carragher hasn't really developed from his days of being a scally from Bootle, that's why footballers shouldn't be viewed as role models, because they're simply normal people who got lucky.

They wont be getting that 15 large back any time soon.
