Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Professor Toffee]

So I take it he's not instantly become a key player and the next Lampard then?

He's waiting for a Lampards knees and hamstrings transplant
Oh and brain

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

oh ross you clown
must be missing actually playing togger

That is, without doubt, the most brilliant bad playing of a recorder outside your average primary school lollollol

..he’d probably be better seeking out a Sherlock Holmes.

He's already been seeking him Eggs, unfortunately Ross being Ross he'd heard the word elementary being associated with Sherlock Holmes so he has been looking for a house with a yellow door.

How do you get to have a bit of train wreck of a career and still be on millions per year?

Because I want in on that scam.

I admire everyone keeping up the vitriol in this thread though. If this thread fell off the first page of the world football forum then I'd have forgotten all about him to be honest.

I only thought of him today because he was mentioned in some rag. He is basically a rich ex footballer.......

He is basically a footballing bitcoin. Speculate to see if he goes up or down in value. Not actually to be used for its designated purpose, and guarantee of column inches of him and other similar bitcoins in the press. And maybe in a few years time we'll all be laughing at those that got burnt by their greed and avarice, or seeing a whole new landscape for storing and trading wealth.

Look what you’ve done to him lads. You forced him out of his boyhood club and now look at him.

YOU caused this. Yes YOU !!!

Lukaku and Stones got out before the hate got to truly toxic levels, whereas Barkley stayed until he could no more. And now you’re celebrating his demise. I suppose you’re just waiting for the lad to have a mental breakdown now eh?

Lukaku and stones moved onto better themselves. No harm in that . Barkley just isn’t that good .

Surely you have to reach a certain level of intelligence before it's possible to qualify for being capable of having a mental breakdown? Therefore Ross doesn't qualify, but hey I wish him all the best picking the splinters out of his arse from the Chelsea bench.

Both players have on numerous occasions be heralded at their new clubs and arguably cemented their position in their respective teams.

On the other hand, Ross isn't even able to get into their starting XI - that itself is a mark of how different their situations are.

Career suicide. What an idiot.

I wanted him to stay. Though having Tosun AND Walcott makes me less miserable, and not just because Walcott is the most beautiful man we've had in our squad in years.
