To put it mildly, anger and shock greeted Ross Barkley's recent move to Chelsea.
The England midfielder left Everton in a £15 million deal on January 5, just four months after he had been set to move to Stamford Bridge for £35 million.
Barkley opted to remain at Goodison Park on transfer deadline day last summer, but did not play for the Toffees this season after suffering a serious hamstring injury.

The midfielder's move did not sit well with the Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, who is a lifelong Everton supporter. He revealed that he contacted the police over the transfer.
Anderson questioned why Barkley's value had dropped so much in such a short space of time.
