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

easy to know how bad his injury was when our medical team probably caused it

The photo he posted during his recovery looked like the op was pretty invasive

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

It’s a bit awkward being paid a gazillion a year whilst being tattooed up with a rival club. Fans aren’t going to like that.
 

Loads of ability, but wow said it before his football brain is horrendous. But still had the knowledge how to shaft his beloved childhood club .keep counting your money kid that's all you will rememberd for you greedy dog
 
Like I said years ago, his football intelligence is non-existed. If he wasnt English, no one would ever spend >15M on him.
 

His career is over now for me. He is on his last big contract and will be loaned out until it is over and then will struggle to get a good move once done

He has never been a very good professional athlete which you have to be in this era of football. It was on the wall long before he left us, too much time in clubs and pubs tell a tale.
