Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Tin-Tin]

Lovely nutmeg for a Utd player

 

[Minimeister]

He's only been on 7 minutes and twice frustrated the crowd. It used to take him at least 30 minutes for us.

ROSS BARKLEY!!!!

Been really poor since coming on

 

[Zezti]

Imagine having a young talent with high potential in Hudson-Odoi on the bench and subbing on Barkley instead.

Anonymous. Looks lost and confused. It's as though Sarri has made the mistake of giving him more than one instruction.

 

[jackyboy]

Is it somebody else's fault again?

 

[paulbefc]

Shocking again.

I know it's often joked about that he'll end up at Newcastle or West Ham, but at this rate he absolutely will. And soon. He was spectacularly lucky to get this opportunity and I can't really say he's blowing it because he's been playing this badly for most of his career. Serious cock-up from Chelsea, bringing him in.

 

[4737carlin]

In away glad he didn't sign much better to be someone else's problem, we have enough of our own

 

[sageyefc]

I really don't think he's been especially lucky with his managers at Chelsea

Conte didn't want him and resented him for it, whilst Sarri never plays him in his preferred position

He's had several managers during his career now and it was only really Martinez that ever tolerated him, the rest of them were having none of him

 

[Pabbers]

Stones ? Baines and Coleman were at their best then as well. Them three easily as good as Barkley in them days.

Baines fell behind Oviedo at times.

Coleman good....stones booed by park end many times.

We have done this before, the ‘man of the match thread’ Ross was in top 3 sumert like 2/3 or all games....absolute myth he was bad for us.

 

[Death]

Muff Cabbage has been so unfortunate with his last 7 managers. Such a shame. But once that perfect manager comes along he's going to take the world by storm. Just you wait and see.

 

[YoboCopter]

I actually feel abit sorry for him? Not sure why tbh just looks lost/scared at all times

 

[Frang]

As bad as he is, he walks into our midfield

As bad as he is, he walks into our midfield

But we want lads who can run.
