Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Toast]

Barkley won't be properly fit until next season probably. Missed so much football through injury that this seasons been an entire write off for him.

Gareth Southgate confirmed today Ross has at least got the summer off..
Cos he's nowhere near the England team.
A team that contains Jake Livermore btw.

Yes, because he's not even close to being fully fit and has been crippled for ages, not because Livermore is a better footballer than him.

"Ross has just not been fit. He went on the back of a long-term injury, quite a serious one, and only had a couple of matches really.

"So I don't think he's available for selection now anyway, so he's unfortunate in the way that has played out in this year in particular.

“It's going to be difficult for him I think to get the number of games he needs now. But we know he's a talented player."

If he's competing with Willian for a place in the starting line up he hasn't got much of a chance.

....I fear Barkley’s career will be blighted with that injury. He might not be able to put a lengthy run of games together. Time will tell, but Everton may have dodged a bullet by not having him on a lengthy, big bucks contract.

That scar he got from the surgery made it look like a really bad injury, had no idea a hammy required that amount of slicing on the operating table !

...I remember Ian Snodin having the same scar following hamstring surgery and he never reached the same level of performance. Saying that, Snodin’s game was much more based on pace than Barkley’s.

Ross could be fully fit and he'd still get nowhere near starting in this Chelsea team.

And it's a Chelsea team that you would think will have a lot of money spent on it after a pretty underwhelming season. You wouldn't be surprised if they splashed out on a big name in Barkley's position from the WC.

 

[Remember-the-name]

His career has taken a huge nosedive, I can't see him progressing

..I wonder if he’s winding his way down Baker Street.

It's been written off since Martinez first season

Have you seen bakayoko this season ? So long as he’s getting games Ross has a chance.

Kind of a weak excuse. Seamus was put twice as long and he's back and playing well. It's down to ability I'm thinking at Chelsea at least
