Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Stutheblue]

He's neat and tidy on the ball. Not much more than that I'd say.
From what I've seen so far this season he's played one or two good games but that's about it for me. Final analysis has to be over the entire season to be fair. However we're over half way now and he's got ground to make up if he's to be considered a hit at Chelsea this season.

Games passing him by, used as a utility player, frustrating the fans, manager has misgivings...

Quelle surprise.

He has become a "water-carrier".

@davek I saw this and thought of you x

Barkley, Stones and Lukaku have all been revelations since moving to so called bigger clubs. At this rate no one is going to buy another player off of us.

Chelsea at least got what they paid for, a 15m player, the other two though paid so over the odds it's almost embarrassing

Of the “Fab Four” in that lovely season, the much maligned “paper lungs” is having the best season this year.

Another fabulous cross for an assist yesterday.

Del? The only one with a decent attitude seemed a top bloke, happy he is doing well, happy Barkley is doing nothing, and made up Rom has turned out to be a rotter.

Del left with dignity. The other rats can do one.

Stones isn't doing too badly.

Yeah find it a bit weird to say Stones hasn't done anything since he left.

As I’ve said before, they will try to ship him out one way or another in the next 18 months! Not good enough for that level.

Watching Barkley yesterday was like watching Snides. All sideways and backward passing, no dribbling and no goal threat.
Bit sad really

Everything I saw of him - he seemed to keep sitting back, not offering himself for the ball.
