Where is that user that was making fun of me saying I'm trolling. I'd refrain from Barkley in the boat as Bakayoko and Drinkwater because he's had his injuries issues and may still end becoming good for us. We haven't seen much of him yet. The same can't be said about the other two... Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the slick forward ball playing CM, but he is not as bad as some make him out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yeah.. the people who authorized the signing of Drinkwater and Baka should be relieved of all duties concerning CFC. Such an appalling CM signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That would hopefully force the club to buy a better midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 This was just another stupid, stupid purchase for silly money by the club, it was just more a 'making up numbers' signing. We will be lucky to recoup half of the 30M we paid, these average buys need to stop. blues.bridge and mccg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 1 of our loanees would have been suffice or u21 young CfC given a chance , hindsight the 1151 mins he contributed could have been covered easily and put that 30mill towards a real younger world class midfielder talent !

Unionjack 7,531 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I just read a couple of articles that I found interesting. One dated from middle of last season about how Roman wanted us to have another strong English core of players. But when i look at the ones we bought it doesn't support that. And another today from an interview Ballack gave about the links of him to being our new director of football or whatever title it is that we have been doing something wrong in the transfer windows in the last 3 seasons and 'throwing money' at the problem is 'obviously not the answer'! And he wanted to turn to the academy for more players. That scares me! I'm all for us cherry picking players and us giving them time more and more gradually. (More than Conte has but not as blindly as he has with Baks) I can understand the thinking behind us getting Drinks about how well he teamed up with Kante at Leicester and hoping it would happen again. As for both him and Barkley I wonder if Conte had played them as much as he has played Baks if they had come on any differently. Ive not given up hope on Barkley or RLC. I do hope that RLC has progressed more than I give him credit for. And I'm of the thinking Barkley just needs a manager to give him time and show some faith in him But I would bring in someone new to partner Kante as our priority. Its the position where we are crying out for creativity/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akgw13 867 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Some midtable PL team will come along and offer 25m for him. A bournemouth/Burnley/Crystal Palace type team. For the same reasons we bought him, HG PL winner, tough with some skill. He just never quite fit here, I genuinely thought he would be useful for us but alas his time at Chelsea will be shortlived. Personally if i were Burnley I would take a long hard look. Fits their style and player profile. manpe and !Hazard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Frustrating season" he was never going to start here. He is not stupid but he wanted to try it, maybe wanted a pay rise, wanted to work under Conte etc etc but lets be fair, he was always going to be a squad player and will be if he stays (which I doubt because there will be MF additions for sure I'd hope).
