2017/18 Ross Barkley

[PhilM]

Ross hasn't proved (yet) he can do it anywhere else, still less for a club where he isn't 'revered' as a blue, not treated as top dog, and out of his comfort zone. Lukaku and Stones just outgrew us, in terms of our current situation and trajectory.

Personally, I've stated numerous times that I don't feel that Ross has fully proven himself here, or at least not to an extent people imagined.

Yes he's shown periods where his quality has shone through, nevertheless let's not ignore the numerous times where he disappeared in games.

Would he improve our team now? Of course he certainly would, however I feel that his time on the sidelines has papered over the reality of it all.

Possibly the removed responsibility and pressures placed upon his shoulders, mainly from our expectations, will help Ross eventually thrive.

On the other hand, it's also fair to say that the expectations at Chelsea to perform consistently will be higher - maybe he'll sink. Who knows...

15m and a sell on % please

Lovely footballer but I'll be glad to see this thread in the World Football section like it should have been last summer.

It's been tedious for sure and a good lesson for some on the integrity of the modern footballer.

Wonder if he can do a Rooney and come back at 30+?

Can an Alien rip out of the scar bungle? That would look superb and we can call the film Ross Covenent

That's a bit far fetched mate

 

[orly]

I wouldn't bother lad he's just a mong. Banging on about streams when nobody has said the word stream.

File in bin lol

Goodbye mate

 

[diggerdestroyer]

We are better off without such individuals
There may be a few more that we need to get rid
Everton come first

Yep. Get rid of the bad individuals but we need proper players in as replacements.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Wow, like someone coughing 100m away in a crowd of 40,000, you might not be able to hear it.

Mind-blowing insight again.

Well it's true mate

Just because someone at the ground said they didn't hear it doesn't mean it didn't happen

 

[longers]

Yes they would have paid 35m for him. They bid 35m and then after the deal fell through they spent the 35m on drinkwater.

Why would they have paid £35m for an injured player who can’t play for them until January when they can just wait and get him cheaper then ? And if Drinkwater was the alternate option why are they signing Ross now ?

 

[diggerdestroyer]

welcome rose ,

He he. One can see him wrapped up plonked in those for a season or 2 and then off to wba

 

[GwladysPhil]

Pretty sick of some people on here who think they’re right and give smug replies to people’s opinions on here because they’ve made internet friends.

Ross is a rat end of.

Yes it did.

Find a feed of the match.

It literally happened. Rooney by the main stand , cross field pass, Mata intercepts and all you hear is groaning and shouting

Feed of the match =/= stream .

Ok buddy x
