Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[JLW]

Said it many times he’s out of Chelsea this summer at the latest and is destined for West Ham or Newcastle.

Not good enough for Chelsea and never was

 

[Buckers]

Relax fellas there’s no way Carlo would go in for Barkley. He’s not coming back.

 

[Barry Rathbone]

He's too predictable and Prem managers have sussed him.

Not particularly fast, suspect stamina, thinks he has quick feet and hasn't, no great shakes tackling and his passing is ordinary. He needs to buy a house in Hull almost immediately

 

[Blueclouds]

Liked him when he was with us but that because he was a local. Too predictable and full of himself on the pitch. He doesn't work hard enough for some reason.

 

[WeAreEvertonians]

Anyone know what happened to him?

Anyone know what happened to him?

Nothing, hes just rubbish

 

[Remember-the-name]

Hasn't played since that Taxi incident on Hardman street. Not a single minute.

 

[deipnosophist]

Suspect he might do a Lampard, Arteta, Gerrard etc and move into management ...he has a unique gift of making people feel a lot smarter, simply by listening to him.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Was on the bench today, but no minutes.

Loves the lemo I’ve heard

He's been injured. Got back on the bench...then I think it was the Dubai nightclub that kinda got him dropped completely.

It'd be interesting to see what Ancelotti could do with him.

Doubt it they get tested every week.

Not long now until we reach the inevitable West Ham/Newcastle transfer.

Then I'll be interested to see if he sinks or swims there. It's far from certain.
