Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

Nice biscuits collapse when wet - there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

He will be alright there once he has learnt the language

Can't wait to see this flute do an interview like Barton's at Marseille.

Officially unveiled at Nice at half time of their game with Monaco, will be wearing number 11 for them

Azure Coast, no a bad place to live

Good luck to him

Him, Schneiderlin and Ramsey in the same midfield is very funny

It's like the Zombie Everton Midfield That Never Was But So Could Have Been.

This move shows just how obscene modern club football now is. Utter failures by any objective measurement still find a lucrative place to stink out. Journeymen celebrity footballers pitching up at some unsuspecting village to suck the blood from the locals like the vampires they are.

There was a time an English footballer - or player from these islands - going abroad was definitive proof of his elite level (Hoddle, Francis, Hateley, Wilkins, Lineker, Waddle, Platt, Gascoigne...). Liam Brady and Graeme Souness were in Serie A with Maradona, Rummenigge, and Platini. Now we have Ross Barkley and Morgan Schneiderlin bitching about Evertonians from Nice. Failure today means being banished to the Mediterranean coast. Punitive. At least Schneiderlin is at home. Barkley will be a fish out of water. The car crash continues, albeit in a Ferrari.

Millionaire living on the south coast if France getting to play a bit of football now and again.

I think he might actually be a genius.

He's incredibly lucky. Making milions doing nothing at Chelsea and he still gets his reward with a transfer to one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Just dawned on me that I’m going to get to see him live in the flesh in a month or so.

Barkley and Schneiderlin

Meanwhile we avoided and we look positively improved, who are we.

I’d love to know how much he’s scamming them for a week after going there on a free

Pay cut defo.
Lifestyle choice. Might find the French league suits him tbh

Yer I can’t imagine it’s as much as he was on at Chelsea but they’ve signed some big names. Have they got money? Unbelievable lifestyle even if he is on a paltry 70-80k a week. My heart bleeds for him

He'll be on the bench mate
