It‘s true.

1. Eriksen 2. De Bruyne 3. Özil 4. Hazard 5. Barkley

I know we ALL want 'A List' players but our reality is while we do sometime dig deep for one our normal cap is £30/£35k.

I wrote in a post I thought I had become a bit of a snob thinking we should only buy big players. But in reality if you get a group of players of GOOD quality that gel and enjoy playing together then they can beat anyone.

And who knows. Barkley at this cheap price might just give us that option we need.

Just see this

Chelsea to land Ross Barkley in £15million deal after Tottenham end interest over wage demands

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-land-ross-barkley-15million-11800306

Spurs' strict pay structure currently sees Harry Kane and captain Hugo Lloris as the club's top earners, with the pair currently earning around £100,000-a-week.

But it's believed Barkley was looking for a figure in excess of the duo,

SPURS NOT INTERESTED IN BARKLEY

Tottenham will not reignite their summer interest in Everton's Ross Barkley, SSNunderstands.

It is understood manager Mauricio Pochettino has other targets.

Minimal risk, high reward. 

For £15M can't go wrong with Barkley. If he succeeds the club will get a cheap homegrown talent, but if he flops he'll be sold for same price if not more.

The only downside to this is role of RLC. Will he pack his bags and move next summer after Barkley joining, or will he stay and either fight for his place or go out on loan again?

Welcome to Chelsea.

Good purchase. He will sign a 4-5 year long contract and we can sell him fot 20 million to a midtable team, this is the worst case scenario.

Wouldnt that be the best case scenario!!!

see no point keeping RLC with Barkley coming in now 

[drog.ba 239]

I think he'll surprise people. Barkley's always looked way more talented than RLC has at Palace. 

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.

Now we wil need mahrez 

[Special Juan 28,115]

We paid 40M for Bakayoko last summer, he's struggled to control the ball, pass the ball and even look like a footballer, yet people are writing off Barkley and asking us to be patient with Bakayoko.

Barkley will surprise a few because he can do all of the above and is a low risk signing.

Best case is him retiring here as a club legend.

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.

We will know depending on how much game time he will get.
