Even if the rumour were true, which looks unlikely, I couldn't see it happening really

Genuinely think he hasn't been the same since getting that injury prior to leaving us

His confidence looks like it's been demolished by getting splinters in his bum on the Chelsea bench, and he's a confidence player

Again, the romantic in me would love for Ross to come back and make up for how he left by having some good seasons for us and helping us up the table, but I just think that ship has sailed. Getting rid of the Everton tattoos told it's own story to be honest. I don't think we're in his heart anymore and I bet he doesn't feel like he has anything to make up for. It's bizarre to me that a supposed Evertonian could behave like that. Sure, move to another club, but to do it in THAT way and also erase your Everton tattoos? That's not normal even for the "it's just a job" professional footballer

Thing is Mikey, he was always thick as pigmuck and never had any self control or professionalism , it's a massive reason his career crashed and burned.
 
I think more had to be going on for him to seemingly give up his love for the club

To behave like that on the way out raises questions beyond just lack of professionalism
Immaturity is a big part mate, some people never grow up, and immature people often act on impulse - can say getting those tats was initially and removing them similarly was
 

Disregarding his being thick he happens to be better than the crap we have. He failed at Chelsea with top players around him. He might thrive at Everton with crap players around him. Free? Take him with a pay cut.
 
Free transfers still cost money and contracts aren't free either. To be honest I've not spent much time watching Barkley over the last couple of years so I don't know if he still has the flaws in his game that were apparent when I did used to see more of him.

What I do know is that he delayed his Chelsea move so he could take a few 100k more in wages from Everton and help knock a few million off the price for Chelsea.
Ye free transfers cost, but I could see this happening, with Barkley dropping his wages. IF of course he wants to play football and not just earn money. If his head is in the right place, I’d take him.
