Hi Ed. I was wondering if you would perhaps shine a light on Barkley and the plan's we've got for him? In my opinion he isn't good enough for us, seems too unprofessional and with RLC coming back and Gallagher perhaps getting a chance next season, I can't see the reason in him staying - at least after the summer.
So yeah, just wondering if you can tell anything about our plans with him? :)

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any "plans" being in place with respect to Ross Barkley but there have been two recent incidents that are completely unprofessional, and that is something the club take very seriously. When he arrived at Chelsea he came with the reputation of being a bonehead and someone took responsibility for making sure that was in the past - and until recently he has behaved reasonably well. That situation has now changed and, as you say, with others (including Gallagher and Loftus-Cheek) who will be looking for a chance next season his opportunities may well be reducing and Chelsea will listen to any offers.}

It’s always a shame and it certainly frustrates other players and fans who haven’t got his sort talent. It’s such a waist. I hope he can turn it around.

He's going to look back on his career with so much regret. He could have been special. A top prospect who hasn't even scraped the barrel of what he could have offered.
