Well, it's not on purpose. It just is. There are views to be pointed out about players, good and bad. It seems many would rather celebrate every signing without ever critically analysing. I understand if so, it makes things more 'fun', but that's not going to hold up when it comes to debate, which is generally what forums are for, and what great conversations are made of.

But of course. Dear love for my dear mate 

 

I'm all for everything you said. My issue was not what you did, but the way you were doing it which was over-dramatic in my opinion. There is a thin line between being critical and downright depressing.

Cheers! 💙

I was expecting none to happen in this transfer window

So bringing a english player for a reasonable price isn't that bad.

Not optimal but it's quite hard to bring quality in January without entering in a saga so I'm not that upset right now

We are club which is failing in the TM year after year, and of course in player quality of our team. Big club like Chelsea cannot afford transfers like this on regular basis, but that's exactly what's happening.

So, I am glad we have someone like @Leif

His bluntness adds a lot to the mix, and I enjoy it most of the time because it spices things up. However, too much spice could give you gastrointestinal problems.

It makes sense on the transfer fee if the £15mill is right considering we offered £50m for him in the summer. When he signs outr contract he will be upto £30mill shirley.

But with his wages at £100k thats why Poch couldnt sigb him. With spuds pay structure it would only put him £10k a week less than Mr Potatohead himself. Tho reports of Poch trying to get him to sign a new contract for £200k a week.

So Ive been thinking this might just work. Pretty sure hes a Roman buy but lets see how he works out. With him being good at creating chances at least he offers more creativity eh.

Investing in Milinkovic-Savic or Atletico's Saul pursuit and waiting until the summer if needed would be better, yes. That's what the top club will do.

Coincidentally, these guys will cost at least £50m, probably more because it’s January. For £15m it’s fine. We aren’t going to sign guys like Torreira, SMS, Lemar etc. in January for a reasonable price. All these teams will look at us signing Bakayoko and DD at £40m each and they could easily say “look, you signed these two for that price so we need at least £10m more”.

You guys should’ve been angrier about the Drinkwater signing. He’s a good player but he doesn’t bring anything different to the squad, not at £40m anyway. Chelsea have been after Barkley for years as well.

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).

Just to add - Barkley would probably have a good chance at starting at United/Spurs too.

How much are we paying for him?

very cheap 17 M

I will judge him after quite a few games, not before. Looking forward to seeing him get started.

[Antonio8 736]

his buy means one thing:   352

Not necessarily. If Fabregas can play in the 343, surely Barkley can as well.

£15m. And as soon as he signs, his value will immediately increase to let’s say £25m/£30m. If he had 2 years left on his contract he’d be costing us about £40m at least from Everton imo.
