The 15m fee for Barkley may be good but is this a Conte signing? Or if not, is he at least happy with it? From Matt Law's news report last night, it seems we want Barkley because he's English and we don't want to let one of Emenalo's recommendation go elsewhere. If Conte doesn't approve this one bit, then it will only make things worse between him and the board.

When have the board ever worried about upsetting a manager ?

Okay. Forget the fee. Do we need him?

I'd say no and haven't got much expectations for him, but I hope he proves me wrong if/when he does join.

Anyway I can see why the club are so adamant on making this deal. Even though Barkley's development has stalled in last couple of years the potential is still there as the player is just 24 years old, so at £15M it's a no-brainer because it's still easy profit to sell him on if he fails to live up to the standards of Chelsea.

and he is English. 

Where would he play in this team though? We have an Oscar problem with him

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Seems like a very good deal for the price. He's no Lamps but I bet he will score plenty of goals in that role Bakayoko has been playing recently.

Imagine the outrage if Barkley also finds himself behind Bakayoko in the pecking order...

Bakayoko is 22years old 

matic at his age was nothing.

CM or AM, the only options really.

[Pizy 17,860]

Hopefully his hamstring doesn't explode within his first few appearences.

15M£ for Barkley is quite good and he is a type of midfielder we need but the question is will he adapt to Chelsea and Conte. Only time will tell.

I see it's that moment when were about to sign a bang average player and we try to hype him into oblivion. I can't believe what I'm reading in the last page. Worst midfield we have inside the Top 6 easily, will be scary going forward if those are our only midfield options.

Nope. Disagree. Let’s compare.

City have: KDB, Silva, Gundogan, Toure, Fernandinho, Delph. 

Utd have: Pogba, Matic, Fellaini, Herrera, Carrick, McTominay.

Arsenal have: Xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere, Coquelin, El Neny, AMN. 

Spurs have: Dembele, Winks, Wanyama, Sissoko, Dier. 

At Chelsea we’ve now basically got Kanté, Fabregas, Barkley, Bakayoko, Drinkwater as our CM core. 

I’m personally only definitely taking City’s CM core over ours. The rest are all worse/debatable. We arguably have the 2nd best CM core in the league.

Forget all the oyhers collectively, outside of City i'd only want Pogba and Dembele, the rest we either don't need (Waynama, Wilshere) or ain't good enough (the rest).

Hahah   No. Was very good against arsenal .    The same you said (all Chelsea fans ) about Salah and he becomes one of the best . The same said. About KDB ,cuadrado etc .  

 

[Dimitr 488]

I am seeing that all Chelsea fans don’t have patience. You want end products.  You want bakayoko to be the best cdm in the worl at 22years  fucking logic . This why we haven’t a good team  because we haven’t football brain as a team . 😭😭😭😭😭

Everton midfielder Ross Barkley underwent a medical at Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham on Thursday night and his move to the Premier League champions could be confirmed later today, SSN understands.

We understand the player and his representatives are at Stamford Bridge at present, finalising a deal.

Danny Drinkwater, Ross Barkley and Andy Carroll...

Barcelona must be shitting themselves.

[gdlk 263]

Maybe they will dig the pitch earlier than expected so thats why we are getting a horse like Carol...
