Hes a striker mate not LW so hows he replacement? A Eden Icardi Pulisic is a great start or Isco Icardi Pulisic would also be the bollox.. But we also need a TOP ACM too.

Problem is tho its not only Barkley I understand why all the sideways,backward passing goes on even if I dont like it but even when they do develop the space between the channels they dont seem to be able to take it to the next level, They have an amazing 2nd half v Shitty )IMO anyway) but then they suffer complete total fuckin mind block and forget how they did it! That goes for Eden too. They just cant keep their form. Apart from Luiz and it seems he is the one who is getting better!

Chelsea are ready to make a huge transfer splash for one of the world’s most highly-rated strikers, while Napoli are ready to move for a Manchester United target, according to Thursday’s European papers.

I see we are still being linked with him. From all that Ive read about him even tho he plays FWL and AML/AMR he is by far the strongest and plays more as a FWR. SSurely this makes no sense with us spunking out for one yesterday for that position!! He has played 1 game this season as a center forward so we cant be thinking of him there. And for the £40mill he will supposedly fetch it will mean him being on the bench as a sub for both wings.

YEP!! The club needs a overhaul from top to bottom. I love what Roman has done for us. You could always see he was a genuine supporter like the rest of us. And I will always appreciate it But just MAYBE selling us to someone used to working with large sports clubs would be what we need.

haha Might have a bottle to celebrate when he leaves!

Past the loan stage mate. You dont loan out a £70mill player in the hopes of him getting his shit together, You pat him on the back and cut your losses and hopefully learn from the experience.

You would expect that a club would be run like any company/office. You have regular meetings where you all sit down and give each other your needs. What the team needs in what positions. What they dont need etc. You would expect the heads of departments to all be there. Scouts etc and all go thru what they need to put across. Then they go away to think about it and then the main peeps get together to say what they have decided. But as we dont have that central DOF who hopefully has good football knowledge and been in the job at a high level so has important contacts at various clubs, then it causes us a fuck off big problem to begin with. I dont doubt that Granny is a good number cruncher with balls bigger than many men but she knows less about football than me.

100% agree. Specially with him saying he didn't lnow anything about us buying Pulisic.. That is scary. I thought one of the reasons we took Magic Box on was for him to be that buffer between Sarri and the board. I know we all keep harping on about it but it just helps prove how much we need a DOF.!

Its the Roman way lol

I was on my travels when we bought him so I missed all the hype etc. But if you want a laugh spend some time going thru this thread at the start and see the difference in the comments. I particularly like the ones about the curse! Lets bloody hope not.

Hope you're wrong bud/

You can just imagine what he is thinking himself. Or you would suppose he is amyway. I know if it was me I'd be going bonkers wondering how the fuck I had gotten like this. He has to be going thru hell and thinking that his only hope is moving and having a fresh start. I dont hate the guy. Hes just playing like shit! And we need to get rid of him if possible.

Last I read was Bayern have upped their offer to £30mill

Its the 'Chelsea effect' We take supposedly good current players and they get total amnesia. If we could bottle it we could sell it to some countries secret service for loadsamoney.

I hear ya. Least with Pulisic (and Kepa) its showing 'the board' is open to looking at fresh young wanted talent and dont mind paying for the right ones. I so hope we are looking at Icardi

Just surprized we haven't gone into the Chinese market YET! Or we ciould buy in Japan in the summer?

Sleep?? Over rated concept mate lol Might have a nap in the afternoon sometimes Trick is to stay awake like a natural tip lol Just beem watching old eppisodes of the magic roundabout. cracked me up. And supposed to be a kids show!

LOL More like The Magic Roundabout (A Brit kids show - not for kids full of bribery,coruption,sexual innuendos lol Theres this character Ermitrude who was a pink cow who ate poppies!) And like Zebedee would say ''Time for bed!'

Can't be any worse than the current one bud! Oh wait. We dont have one! Lets just hope 'the club' realises that the better we are as a team the more business we will do!

Doesn't this speak volumes about the way our board works Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri makes startling confession that he had no idea £58m winger Christian Pulisic was going to sign for Blues Maurizio Sarri was asked by club about his opinion of Christian Pulisic last month He gave 'positive' response but heard no more about progression of deal Chelsea boss was caught unaware when American was announced Incredibly, Sarri admitted: 'I didn’t know anything about Pulisic on Tuesday' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6550589/Chelsea-boss-Maurizio-Sarri-admits-no-idea-58million-Christian-Pulisic-going-sign.html

Knew I liked you for some reason my brother from another mother! IMO we should all watch this before going to the match to put us in the right frame of mind, Ive got a flashdrive full of songs I stick on but this will be a part of my pre game ritual when we goto north London next week! And I shall take great pleasure in showing it to my gooner mate who is coming with me as I went to see Fulham with him yesterday! FB WTF is Iggy??? He sent me a msg asking where I was and now he goes off missing! Sent him a Msg but not heard owt.

My thoughts too mate. I read every post bud! And I'm glad cause having had some text conversations on here its totally changed my mind about some things. Example I've always thought we should only buy players who specialise in playing 1 positiion and have trained for that their entire career. Like using 1 hunting knife for a job and not use a Swiss army knife thats got many tools but not 1 made for hunting. But after a chat on here someone suggested that in this modern game a player who can play in multi positions is better cause he can think in different ways and is multi skilled.

We have to set our targets higher than this Shirley! Looks like we are being linked with him again! Along with strong links to Spuds. Cracks me up tho that theres quotes saying he is 'unsettled' by the arrival of Baks!
