It never fails to amaze me how clubs seem to be able to manage to get our players on loans but we dont!

Third club join race for Chelsea midfielder, loan deal more likely

Because we don't tend to plump for players who have flopped at their current club and/or have wages we can't compete with.

But its OK to pay over the value for ones with history of injuries, old, out of form.

These are ones I men we should try to loan.,

Just the 1st game against an easy Perth but he looked decisive and strong. His passing was crisp and almost always forward. I was very surprised. He looks like he could understand the philosophy and really build himself back up. I don't think we should sell/loan him(i never wanted too) this year. If he can grasp the system he is useful for us as we have no other midfielder who has his physical capabilities on the defensive side of the game. 

Really happy for him with this showing (i know its one half against a shit team in pre-season, but you've got to start somewhere!)

We need creative, attacking MF(s) though. I am fine with Bakayoko staying for one more year to finally see if he comes good, BUT if you parcel out the other two of 3 starting MF slots automatically to Kante and Jorginho, Bakayoko surely is not the dynamic 3rd that we DESPERATELY need as Barkley is so damn injury prone and Cesc is so limited in most other facets and is ageing.

For sure we need to bin Drinkwater.

I happen to think Barkley will come good, he had a very positive game today. I think either of RLC or Golovin(if we buy him) would be extremely dangerous there as well and Cesc is limited but still useful against weaker teams if we protect him. I never said Bakayoko would start, but I do think we should keep him if he can keep up. If Kante goes down(god forbid) or just needs a rest we would have no defensive minded player in the midfield, we need balance. I view him as a Kante backup. Drinkwater getting sold for sure.

Deep: Jorginho/Fabregas

B2B: Kante/Bakayoko

ATM: Barkley/RLC(or Golovin or both)

[El P. 1,354]

--- Barkley (RLC) ---------- Kante (Bakayoko) ---

---------------- Jorginho (Fabregas) -----------------

This is not bad.

Not Bad at all. No need for Golovin in this scenario, unless we dont want RLC to get game time.

Cesc will be the third midfielder along with Kante and Jorginho, assuming everything stays the same. 

 

[Special Juan 27,456]

Cesc will drop down the pecking order if Golovin arrives.

Cesc is no better than in-form Barkley. Barkley even being type of player that we are needing more (as we already have Cescs' qualities in Jorginho). In-form Barkley is actually capable of scoring goals.

Why do people think Cesc could play in that more advanced role? He was NEVER good at it.

Translation: Bakayoko's representative met with Sevilla yesterday. New meeting scheduled this week. Sevilla now willing to pay for his entire wages.

[Clockwork 1,794]

Even mario pasalic looked decent, my gawd the overreaction to a friendly. Penciling Barkley as a starter and expectation for Bakayoko.

Guess he could be N'zonzi's replacement. Him or DD need to be sold permanently.

Are they kidding? Then we can just as well keep him

Bakayoko out and Alcantara in.

Milan, two names for midfield: RB Salzburg's Samassékou and Chelsea's Bakayoko

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/milan-two-names-for-midfield-rb-salzburgs-samassekou-and-chelseas-bakayoko

Milan wants to build a more competitive squad this season and they are trying to make moves in section. Regarding the midfield, the rossoneri have singled out two names. The first one is Diadie Samassékou, who a 22 year old Mailan midfielder and he is similar to Kessié. He may be able to move at a cheaper price because his contract expires in 2019. The second one is Tiemoue Bakayoko, who hasn't received much space at Chelsea and he could be the right profile for Milan.

 

LOL, the Milanese punters are NOT happy campers about Bakayoko being linked

 

 

 

Diadie Samassékou is one of my best 5 available DMF's to replace Kante is he were to go to PSG or Juve

 

 

 

DMF (I already have 5 to choose from NONE will be more than £50m)  

 

Thomas Partey Atletico Madrid  (hell yes and they already bought a replacement, Rodri, the new Busquets)

Danilo Pereira    Porto (Best DMF in Portuguese Liga NOS BY FAR) 

Denis Zakaria   Borussia Mönchengladbach (big, fast as hell, only 21, had a great WC)

Diadie Samassékou Red Bull Salzburg, young sorta kante clone, was MASSIVE in Eurpo league run they had, not only best DMF in Austria, but BEST PLAYER)

Wilfred Ndidi   Leicester City  only 21 still, poor mans Kante, we could do far worse

 

snip

 

GK Strakosha

CB Rudiger, Christensen, Rugani, Ampadu

RB  Azpi, Zappacosta

LB Alex Sandro, Emerson

DMF one of the 5 above, lets say Thomas from AM (BEAST) or Danilo Pereira from Porto

CMF, deep holding playmaker  Jorginho

CMF backups Fabregas, RLC

AMF Pjanic , Barkley

LW Hazard, Bailey CHO

RW , Bernardeshi, Pedro (Bailey can play here too) I would maybe even sell Pedro and take money plus whatever is left from the 160m and buy another DMF off that list, say Diadie Samassékou

Striker Martial, Giroud, Bats
