Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[davek]

Never said there was. But a capped England player, with his obvious talent, now being a squad player, at best, under a manager who isnt that arsed, suggests to me he hasnt been that well advised. Feel for the lad. Should be in his prime.

But it's all easily fixed. His next manager will be key. If he hits it off there he's at a club where he can win stuff. I think Barkley and his advisers are more likely to be looking at where we are right now and thinking 'thank goodness we're out of that mess'.

More like counting the money they got for the transfer and they'll probably be happy enough if Ross tanks. Another move, another payday.

Our 3 supposed crown jewels, Barkley, Stones and Romeboo. 2 can't get a game and the other is getting a lot of criticism for his ability. Maybe they were just big fish in a small pond.

Just had a look at Stones stats there. Genuinely didn’t realise he’d played so little!

As for Ross, if he is as troubled with confidence issues this won’t be helping. The injury has not helped but he obviously didn’t want to stay so much that he couldn’t even bear to sign a one year extension which would’ve given him and us more time.

He’d have been even more hated if he’d ran the contract to summer ‘18 but footballing wise may have been good for us and him. He left himself in a very tricky situation by letting the contract run but it became too late to sign it in the end! Maybe he thought Chelsea wouldn’t seen him if not on the cheap.

Always thought that, Rom was awesome at at middle table team without the media pressure and the spot light on him, but his ego took him elsewhere. These stars need to take note, hope Pickford dosent make the same mistake

He himself was part of that mess, never have i seen an up and coming Everton player with so much potential..Fail.. as he has done.
Not a hope in hell of ever playing for England on a regular basis besides Chelsea.
Said it before and i,ll say it again ..
He didn,t want to play for Everton Football Club anymore so tara good riddance.
There was a list of managers on a previous post that had things to say about him .
One man Neil Warnock hit the nail on the head about Barkley
Bye Bye .

If Conte goes then Ross may well be sold on in a scratch and dent sale. Grimsby Town welcomes Ross Barkley.

Oh I agree mate. Terrific talent.

But now 24, not even getting in a Chelsea squad.

So that will be Moyes, Martinez, Koeman, Hodgson, Southgate, Allardyce, and Conte who have tried.

Bit like our Gerry
Many tried and all failed , or was it Gerry that failed

Otamendi getting in ahead of Stones yesterday says it all
Rom will last one more season at United before he’s replaced.
United need a CF who has all the other attributes besides scoring goals that a top class CF needs

I’d rather sit in the stands at Stamford Bridge picking up my £100k p/w than be associated with the absolute mess that is Everton FC at the moment.

Ross hasn't played at all this season due to injury.
Stone was playing regularly until his injury.
Lukaku is still on for 20+ a season.

Still young players playing the top level that we're nowhere near after splashing £200mill.

Personally, we failed them as a club and we're suffering for it

We thought we had a diamond.

Turns out he was a bit of cubic zirconium from Ratners.

We failed them? Jesus christ, what planet are you on? We made them.
