Chelsea fans have been reacting to Ross Barkley's move to Aston Villa.
Barkley has joined Villa on a season-long loan deal following a wave of new arrivals at Stamford Bridge.
The former Everton star has featured in two of Chelsea's first three Premier League games, but his playtime is likely to be reduced following the arrivals of Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech this summer.
It has become pretty clear that the former works best in a central role as opposed to out wide, and Ziyech also plays centrally, leaving little room for Barkley.
Even so, fans are not exactly pleased, still seeing a place for Barkley in the long run and preferring a Ruben Loftus-Cheek departure.
Nevertheless, Frank Lampard has now allowed Barkley to depart for the season and Chelsea fans have been reacting to the news.
Here's what they have had to say on Twitter.
Barkley has been at Stamford Bridge since 2018 when he joined on a £15million fee from Everton.
He has since made 52 league appearances but has fallen down the pecking order following this summer.
The 26-year-old is likely to play a much larger role at Villa Park, joining a Villa side who have enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning both of their opening two Premier League games.
