rodders0223 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We won't be signing him and I don't think Barkley wants to be here anymore either. Chelsea should have sold him while they could when there would have been plenty of suitors and recouped or paid off as little as possible on his contract. In loaning him out they have only confirmed to the PL he isn't worth anything whilst his contact is as high as it is. He'll be on loan against next season. They've basically done a Darren Bent on loan to Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjacobjr Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I don’t think there is much point in us using Barkley now we ain’t going to sign him and he looks so disinterested in playing he is strolling around the place be better off playing Ramsey and Sanson till end of season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think he is done here now. A player with his ability should be at least coming off the bench when we’re losing against a team in 18th place. DS does not trust him enough at this moment. Will probably end up at Newcastle if they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Him being unused sub today says it all, back to Chelsea as soon as the final whistle goes after the Spurs game (given we have Chelsea on final day). Edit: Wouldn't shock me if Chelsea take Loftus Cheek back and send them Barkley instead, if they stay up of course.

Farlz Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 In a game like today when we were absolutely horrific for most of it, desperate for creativity and Barkley still doesn't get off the bench with Ramsey being preferred again. I think that says it all. Unfortunately his time with us has been a disaster since that injury, he's done here now I'd be quite surprised if he features regularly again this season.

Dave-R Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Good job he wasn't brought on, even commentator mentioned it that it speaks volumes when Ross Barkley is still benched after your three subs. I were surprised but glad in a way and it may make Barkley believe he has to do better when he next gets a chance because he is capable but he seems to be one heck of a pain in the ass at the moment. Jack sort your friend out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 Bye Ross, wasn't meant to be. Ta for the early goal or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 If Dean Smith doesn't think he can improve things after that first 75 minutes then there's 0% chance we will be signing him. Very disappointed as it was an impressive signing of intent and for the first couple of games he looked like he might well take us to another level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is probably it for Barkley’s top flight career and he only has himself to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these players have no hunger or desire when dropping down the table. Everton and West Ham prime examples Well I think we have to give Zatman some credit here... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yeah, today really shows that we have no plans to move for him in the summer and that's probably the right decision. Real shame that it has turned to what it has because we looked amazing going forward as a team until his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always bring up Martinez when people talk about not recruiting "cast-offs" from bigger teams. Jesse Lingard has been a pretty good signing for West Ham so far too. I don't think there's any hard or fast rules about how to make a good signing. I feel like we should probably stop talking to Chelsea's loan department for a few seasons, though, else they'll probably sell us a bridge next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley only has only himself to blame. Has been generally poor. He jas had countless opportunities to impress. He will probably be loaned to a newly promoted team next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooJung Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 He's been too poor for too many games in a row. And it doesn't help that even when he's brilliant on the ball, his defensive contribution isn't even worthy to be called such, because when he's useless on the ball too that leaves you with nothing, which we can't afford. Thanks for the (few) good memories. Waste of a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted April 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 He showed no desire and I'll show the same amount of sympathy. Enjoy playing for Norwich next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Well hes not going to be with next season but his debut was the best since maybe Dean Saunders against Liverpool many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
