Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

Rested for the away leg.....

I'l tell you what lads; Barcelona couldn't get near Barkley tonight!
He's looking like 15 million quid well spent for Chelsea. Or is that 20 million quid badly lost for us?
Perhaps he could move across that cesspit of a capital city to Arsenal and his career will take off just like Franny Jeffers' did.
Next stop Grimsby, if he shows the necessary commitment in training of course.

LOL

There are so many ways to interpret that and not all of them are politically correct.

I know he's meant to be injured or something (seen it on the Uefa site last night) but watching this match only further drives home that Barkley made a horrendous choice in footballing terms. He gets nowhere near this Chelsea side, in fact his best bet is for Conte to get sacked and Chelsea to appoint a manger with an English bias because talent wise he's simply not good enough for a side wanting to win the league and Champions League.

Might seem harsh to write him off after such little game time but I just don't see where he fits in at Chelsea.

But lads on here said he’d walk into any top six side , they couldn’t have been wrong could they.
I never wanted him to leave but would never want him back.
He’ll be the next Jon Jo Shelvey at Swansea or West Ham

He’s probably worked out he’s only there to boost Chelsea’s homegrown quota by now. Although knowing him he probably hasn’t and thinks he’s playing for Barcelona or someone.

Your first sentence accords a level of of intelligence to Barkley that sadly he will never achieve

Not a splinter in sight.

Ross probably took too long deciding whether he wanted to be on the bench or not and need up giving the opportunity away and needing consoling afterwards.

Glad it's working out so well for him

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

On loan to Newcastle with an option to buy come August.

Rested for the away leg.....

I think his away leg is also injured.

The spelling on the poster is correct so that leads me to believe that the photo is not true and you have photoshopped Barkley’s head on to some poor unfortunates body

He never was the sharpest tool in the box.

As if Barkley would have the stones to ask for it himself. It would be Jags asking for a shirt for poor ickle Roscoe.

He wasn't injured. They had an open training session a few days ago and he was in full first team training and confirmed eligible.





He was bought for quotas/investment through their own admission - they shouldn't lose money on him because the game has 'gone'.

He's got there, Conte saying he's in great physical condition but he needs time to mentally adjust to his tactics.
