Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[duncs pigeon]

Next manager at Chelsea will give him his chance.

If he doesn't fit in then I'd take him back on the cheap from Chelsea. The feller is quality.

Got to agree that he has quality, no doubt about it. Just think his own application to being a top player lets him down.

Imo, any Everton player coming though during the last 5/6 years at the club dont have the right attitude. The culture in the dressing room is shocking. It'd be wrong to isolate Barkley in that respect, because he is a product of is environment. He's come through at a time of turmoil when loafers and tankers ran the roost in the first team. If he'd come through a few years earlier when pros like Cahill, Arteta, Carsley and even Neville were there his work ethic and attitude would have been much better. Unfortunately he came through when utter piss-takers and Quislings like Jagielka, Mirallas and Baines ran the show.

I hope he enjoys his money because his career is in freefall

Very true mate. Even though his football skillls were'nt the best, Neville always had a fantastic work ethic imo. I wasnt singling Barkley out, but his attitude does, and will , let him down

Could Neil Warnock have been right after all?!

If he contracted monkey AIDS I'd grin like a chimp with a Marlboro

 

[macdog]

what channel is he summarising on bro?

Can you imagine him offering expert comment at the WC? Hilarious.

Wowzers .

Looks like it's Europa League for Ross.

Enjoy the trips to Helsinki Baku and Dagestan Ross.

It's most defiantly not the Europa league for Ross. He won't get near the starting eleven. He'll be lucky to be asked to tag along to sit on the bench if Chelsea have an injury crisis!

 

[Blues Harp]

How many managers do Chelsea need to appoint before Ross gets a game? I would guess at least four...lollollollol

 

[evertondotcom]

I can see him coming back soon lol.

Capt Jags might be “a piss taker and a quisling” but he has incomparable leadership qualities. For those of us with an ironic/sardonic/masochistic/black comedic bent (i.e. most Evertonians), Capt Jags is a totem.
