Strike 7,489 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just now, Jype said: 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea4 1,521 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

Dimitr 488 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 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 . 😭😭😭😭😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see why it's one or the other, both can play in in central midfield, as attacking midfielders, or even more wide. he looks 'talented' like an 18 year old with potential. exactly what we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
