Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[tommytowne]

Apparently he should be back in two or three weeks.
Fair dos, I actually just made that up.

I wonder if the new Chelsea manager who will be in place by then, rates Ross highly enough to let him near the starting eleven.
I cant see him there past this season, so yes, Palace looks like a good shout.

The hamstring injury sounds like spin.

Managed to do the same with us for about 6 months so you are probably right, this time it will be the club trying to save face by saying he is injured.

 

[Frang]

do we know if its the same hammy???

if its the opposite one he now has a double chance of pulling one every training session / game.

feel for the lad I really do... do I bollocksio

 

[electricblue]

Took him 6 months to get over the last one while he was...erm... waiting for his transfer.
Hope this one takes even longer but somehow I doubt it.

 

[Death]

Ironic he'll be at West Hammy in two years.

 

[mawders]

He'll end up at Newcastle next season. He might do OK for them there

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He was our Blake Griffin (one for the Yanks)

 

[Charlie Sweet]

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

It wasn't just one lad. I can't be arsed opening the vaults but it was pure groupthink for a good while against anyone who ever dared suggest Barkley wasn't world class.

He's not in their squad at all tonight, is he injured?

Yep. Hammy.

Yep. Hammy.

Injured until transferred

Yep. Hammy.

Conte - "I have to speak more with the managers who are very, very good at persuading their clubs to spend money to buy top players"

Hope Ross realises he's nothing but filler.

Yup.
In black and white all those years back. Didn't Ratty ride a little motor boat?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Think he'll still resting after his recent brain transplant.
