Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

My personal take is that he knew injuries meant he had one last chance for a big pay day and that’s why he behaved so abhorrently to get that Chelsea move

We’d been treating him and were never going to offer him what they did because we knew just how bad the injury was. He just hasn’t been the same since

Hasn’t been consistent since the Chelsea move, despite some good performances here and there

I wanted him back, but that would have been the wrong call based on how the Villa loan has played out
 

One day we’ll get the full story on all this

I think money played a big part but there was more going on I reckon for him to get rid of his tattoos and whatnot

He clearly fell out of love with the club itself in some form
I'm sure one day soon he will sell his story to that rag of which we do not speak when he is hurting for money.

Maybe so, but I get the feeling as well he thought he was too good for us had outgrew us. Think also Koeman obviously to me anyway had little time for him and after Martinez being the exact opposite, was maybe too much for him to take.
