Ross Barkley

[Heffernans tache]

Why is this on a Sheffield United rumour mill site?

Fuck Villa

 

[bromtom]

Villa could bring Claude Davis out of retirement and some on here would be crying about ambition.

Wish we could trade jealous doom mongers for cash, we'd have more than Man City.

 

[BushBlade]

I wonder where he’s going to fit in their team? Wide left of the three behind Grealish?

 

[VwBlade]

Never realised we were in for him

 

[brownblade]

Ambition, if only we had some

This was a joke about negative forum members right?

We were in league 1 only a little while ago. We're not only showing ambition, but we are ACHIEVING.

 

[bromtom]

Ross Barkley on loan = Ambition

Sander Berge on a permanent = ?

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Villa's squad is quite strong now. I can't see them in a relegation dog-fight (bar Smith being even worse than last year).

 

[Weasel]

Barkley flatters to deceive. Has the odd fairly decent game but for the money he's on he doesn't donut anywhere near enough.

There is a reason Everton and Chelsea have got rid, and he's not tearing it up for England.

Another one who will one day end his career with a huge Bank balance and not a lot more to show for it.

Glad he's gone to them and seriously, I wouldn't have been overly keen on him coming to us even if we could afford him (which we can't). Let him go there.

 

[Balham]

Players signed by Dean Smith in his 2 years at Villa for a combined total of £233m could play a game between themselves.

Martinez £17m
Cash £14m - Konsa £12m - Mings £24m - Targett £16m
Traoré £17m - Luiz £16m - Barkley (L) - Trezeguet £9m
Watkins £28m - Wesley £22.5m

--vs--

Samatta £9.5m - Bastón free
Jota £6m - Carroll (L) - Nakamba £11m - Drinkwater (L) - El Ghazi £8m
Engels £7.5m - Hause £3m - Guilbert £4.5m
Heaton £8m​

They are thinking we are s premiership side and intend being one next season.

I had them nailed on for relegation but there's absolutely no doubt they are stronger than last season. They've kept Grealish and Mings, added Watkims,Traore , Barkley and the Arsenal keeper and McGinn is ba k from injury .

The money they are spending seems irrelevant to them for oqners worth 8bn dollars !

And if they go don't it won't matter if the owners are worth I trillion, it's unsustainable.

 

[Dalelane01]

Get over it cwak wouldnt have signed him anyway

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Hundred grand a week doesn't get much now a days does it
File this one under Drinkwater

 

[Bladezz]

Splashing the cash again. But a great signing.

 

[mattbianco1]

Apparently paid £11m loan fee... WTF!?!?

 

[Snowflake]

Ross Barkley is fucking dog-shit

Having sexual intercourse with canine excreta ? Surely not !

 

[Pedro Verde]

They've kept Grealish and Mings

Do you class that as a positive ?

 

[BushBlade]

Apparently paid £11m loan fee... WTF!?!?

Probably includes wages. I’d guess he’s on £5m a year. I remember reading Everton were paying £5m to loan Lukaku and I’m not sure that included his wages. I do wonder WTF is happening with FFP though.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

This screams of John Terry contacts. Great signing and I said this before today.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

We can all laugh at Villa's deals but look at what that money has got them.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm - maybe you are not the know all you proclaim to be.

I think the athletic journalist for Chelsea summed it up pretty neatly at the time he went there when said something like “time for another fan base to fall in love with the idea of Ross Barkley rather than the player”
