‘A Different Player’ ‘Bargain Of The Year’ – Chelsea Fans Lavish Praise On 24 Year Old After International Display

‘A Different Player’ ‘Bargain Of The Year’ – Chelsea Fans Lavish Praise On 24 Year Old After International Display

It’s fair to say that Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has taken time to win over some fans at Stamford Bridge, but his recent performances have begun to turn things around.

The 24-year-old started both of England’s games during the international break, playing a crucial pass for the third goal in the 3-2 win over Spain last night.

Fans on Twitter believe the £15m the club spent on Barkley in January could turn out to be a very good piece of business:

Other supporters don’t think he has done enough to displace Mateo Kovacic from the starting eleven:

Barkley has certainly made a good start to the season, but it was only a few weeks ago when some fans were critical of his passing and use of the ball.

There are likely to be some poor games mixed in with the good ones but there is no doubt that the England international has the potential to develop into a very good player under the tutelage of manager Maurizio Sarri.
