Sadly Ross the Dross is on the way - apparently.
Huh? Having a dig at him before he even signs. (if it even happens) how very Villa.
Everyone's entitled to have an opinion on a player, whether he's signing for Villa or not.  I've never been that impressed and I'm not going to change my mind purely because he's linked with us.
No one's asking you to.
So why are you picking Chicago up on his opinion then?

I've said several times on this thread that we're all equally entitled to our opinion. I thought calling him names was a bit ott that's all. Why are you getting offended on his behalf?

I'm not. I rate Ross Barkley. You don't. That's fine. Let's move on eh?

It's just a bit odd that people are giving him negative nicknames etc before he's even joined.

No need to get on your high horse mate

he hasn’t signed yet
High horse? Lol.
I hope he signs as I rate him but hey each to his own. But Ross the dross? No need really.

I hope he does to

a midfield of McGinn - Luiz -Grealish - Barkley is a damn fine show

probably the strongest we’ve put out for many a year if it comes off

Agreed. That would be a quality line up.

I'd have him. Right age, plenty of ability, played lots of games for chelsea, just needs to be a bit more clinical. He's hardly Drinkwater.

Bit of rumour that it’s Loftus-Cheek rather than Barkley, which for me would be the better option out of the two.

I also think he could be an excellent signing.  I wanted someone a bit more defensive and dominant who could cover Luiz, but if there's an opportunity to get someone of his quality and experience on loan I really think we should take it.  The huge caveat being that he is up for it and wants the move.

RLC could be good too. My only problem with him is he was out for a long time and hasn't been much cop since he returned. I'm not really up for getting him back upto speed for chelsea.

I left STAGS in 1977 before going on my travels. Is STAGS still standing?

I left STAGs in 1979 & it’s still standing but is nothing in comparison to the school it was.

Why is it odd that people slag off other clubs' players?  It happens on here every day, if not every minute.
