Barkley deal upsets Mayor of Liverpool, calls for FA investigation

The mayor of Liverpool has taken to Twitter to condemn Ross Barkley’s £15m move to Stamford Bridge. In a series of rants, the Everton fan showed disgust at the fee and has called for an FA investigation.

The politician began his outburst by questioning Barkley’s role in the move after the midfielder came close to joining Chelsea last summer.

Not holding back, the 59-year-old was involved a heated debate with fellow users and fans of both clubs. The involvement of Barkley’s agent, Paul Martin is seemingly also called into question.
