5.5 year deal now official, a gamble for sure but at £15 it's definitely one worth taking in my opinion.

At fifteen pounds definitely worth it!

Welcome Ross! Hope you live up to the potential.

It's not often that Scouser signs for Chelsea 

Welcome! 

Maria/Marina whatever she is called is FIT

Amazed we signed him and hope that hamstring surgery does not cause a problem while he is with us. 

Yes Marina G is a looker for sure.

Just hoping we also sign up Sandro too.

 

I will be writing to .@premierleague & .@FA calling for investigation into the circumstances around the transfer of Ross Barkley between Everton and Chelsea. Agent pulls transfer on deadline day of £35 million doesn’t play again transfer 4 months later £20 million

Liverpool mayor isn't happy,  they really are weird Little f**kers in scouseland. 

been after him for years apparently. 

 

Welcome. Not at all happy with this signing, but hope he proves me wrong.

Nothing beats a meltdown from a scouser 

I've always taken a liking to him for some reason. Reckon Conte is the man who can get the most out of him. 

Not trying to be prejudice or anything but Barkley's scouse accent is going to take a bit of getting used to.

Well Christensen takes Stones place in replacing JT. Ash's position is extinct under Conte and while im still to be sold on Ross it's quite curious his numbers are similar to Lamps at the same age.

The next Frank Lampard ?

We'll see. He scored some great goals for Everton in the past. We have yet to see the best of him in Chelsea.

Welcome to the home of champions Ross Barkley !!

As I said before, we've signed a baller. If he gets his head in the right place he could be a star. He has all the tools to dominate.

Ross, from Me and Ramona

Decent singing.

adds options to our squad and will get better I think.

now I would like a LWB 

Low risk gamble that may, or may not turn out to be a bargain. 15m is nothing in today's market. He's still young, English and certainly has ability. Was considered a major talent few years ago, but is yet to fulfill his potential. Hopefully it happens with us.

If not, given his age he'll still have a decent resale value a couple of years from now. Let's wait and see.

super rossy barkley

[huge sigh] Well alright then, I suppose it's worth giving scousers some aggro. Welcome Ross Barkley! PS get well soon [another huge sigh]

Even more pressure, he's got the fabled no8 shirt number...

Would be bigger pressure if he took 25 or 26, it's a generally accepted fact that 1-11 have quick turnovers so i can't see it being a big issue.

Dear Ross

May your career with us be full of joy, adulation and trophies. May your success with us cause deep bitterness on the banks of the Mersey. May you remain injury free and earn legend status after 10 years of Terry and Lamps-calibre service.And let's hope you perform better in a Chelsea shirt than the last Ross we signed. (He was a good bloke, though).

Win/win.

If he face plants we can get our money back and then some in 12 months time.
