Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[LiamG]

I thought Chelsea were taking a huge risk.

I hate to say it because he was a talented player but I think he's more or less finished.

Even giving him a new contract was too risky for us. 15m and a big contract was a big risk.

We did well on that deal, and got Walcott in the same window, all good

Most talented English player of his generation according to one lad on here

That was hyperbole but he is is talented

 

[Yarrgh]

Not our problem anymore.

 

[LEONARD]

Everton gave him every opportunity to progress, and become the player we all thought he would be.

I just don't think his head is screwed on right.

As Yarrgh, quite rightly posts previously, we have enough problems of our own to contend with, he's history now.

A shame, as nothing better than local lad's making the grade in a Royal Blue jersey.

Not even on the bench and Giroud is. See kids this is the outcome between making good decisions and bad decisions. Both of them could be playing week in week out with us.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a 'hamstring' injury just to protect him while he tries to wrap his little brain around Conte's ever-so-complicated instructions. Bless.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

A waste of a promising talent, not even a Chelsea benchwarmer, can't get into the matchday squad. SAD.

I think this after Contes last comments.

Not complicated at all
Get the ball , move forward , pass the ball to a teammate , and most importantly teerrrnnn Ross

Barkley is to Chelsea what those little foam packing balls are to a parcel. He is filler.

 

[Big_nev]

Great start for the lad.

 

[maccavennie]

Played well tonight, he can walk off from his corner shop with his head held high
