Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[degsy]

Don't they have a mascots outfit or something so he can do something useful on match days?

I'd love to suffer on 100+k a week mind you. Sitting on my backside and doing a bit of keep fit for that money for the next 5 years or so. I wish I'd did less work at school and been better at games now.

Just did the arithmatic...26M over 5 yrs.before you're 30 - plus what we gave him

Man City , PSG and others say hello

Man City, PSG and others who say hello won't be interested anymore. he'll be traversing he mid-table market for the rest of his career.

I agree but the post I relied to stated the Clubs will be curbing their spending from now on
I can see just as much been spent this summer as was last summer if not more
Jose for all his protestations knows he needs 4/5 quality signings to catch up with City and that’s without them spending.
Arsenal need to spend big
Spurs need to spend
RS will spend the rest of the Couthino money
New man at Chelsea will spend
Burnley with Europe will spend more than last summer
We will hopefully spend
Wolves will spend big
And City will definitely spend over 200 m to try and compete in CL

Overall yes more money might be spent but 75-80% will come from the top 6. I don't think Ross is a top 6 player anymore and he'll be a journeyman loanee like Wilshire until his contract ends.

It's unfortunate he chose Chelsea out of all those other clubs that wanted him like City, Spurs, United and Liverpool.

Yep. It's a living I suppose.

I said it 2 years ago. Just like Huddleston was to be the new Hoddle, last I saw he was at Hull.
Rooney, Barkley, 'where ever'

He's at Derby now is Huddleston in and out of the team

That's cruel

That's cruel

But accurate all the same......

It's amazing when a player leaves how **** he suddenly becomes and blessing that he actually left.
Same with lukaku, apparently it's great he left because of the fee that was received and apparently wasnt mobile enough here and went missing in some games.

Barkley was good for us as we were his level. At winners like Chelsea how can he compete with Willian and Hazard

The truth hurts, so I honestly hope Ross isn't paying too much attention to social media.

Not really, it's the equivalent of a bloke and his ex- bird, who always dressed up dead sexy but hardly ever put out for him, going their separate ways after some blazing rows and her now being stuck with a new fella may have moved her into his big house but who never lets her leave or put her make up on.

It's like you know exactly what women want. Amazing

As for Ross, it would be quite amusing if he moved on from Chelsea and actually did alright for himself. de Bruyne, Salah, Lukaku, it's not like there isn't form for that. Equally, he could do what a lot of Evertonians seem to do when they leave and never be the same again (Jeffers, Rodwell, Pienaar et al).

Can't speak for you fellas, but personally if we are going to be a stepping stone club (and for a long time that's exactly what we've been), then I'd rather the players leave us and do well rather than tank. Surely that reflects better on us and the kind of player we're able to produce?
