I’d rather keep Billy in the squad rather than RLC and Barkley. Ruben may actually be fairly sought after by several clubs because of the flashes of talent he has shown. Perhaps Lamps could take him? Don’t know how we get shot of Barkley, though. His wages have to be pretty high and he already had a poor loan spell at Villa.

RLC will show a flash of brilliance in one match and then disappear for several more afterwards. Don’t think he’s ever going to have the consistency to make it here. At least Billy has lots of room for growth. 

I'd let Barkley see out his contract aslong as he has zero expectations game time wise.

He always seems to have one mini spell a season where he actually plays really well, with Mount and potentially Gallagher with a long mid season world cup ahead of them he could yet come in handy one last time.

Love how we shafted Milan with Bakayoko. 
 

Your problem now you skint cunts. 

[Strike 7,217]

Barkley and Sarr seemed like low-risk signings when they came in for cheap but just shows how difficult it is to shift bodies if they are on fairly high wages and are rubbish at this level. Hope this is the last of the depth signings for the sake of it.

I'm so sick of this mentality. Why he can't fight for his spot like Chalobah did? 

These academy players making ridiculous demands

Players don't want to fight for their places/want the easy route and clearly don't have that strong of a connection to the club. Mount might get hate at times for his subpar performances, but his love for this club is probably second to none & it's been evident for many years (comments his father made whilst he was still a youngster).

Barkley had moments, but his attitude off the field is the main reason behind his downfall.

Reading this article, it seems Colwill is counting Emerson, Ampadu, Sarr, Azpilicueta among his competition.

Tuchel needs to convince him that the minutes are there even with one more signing (Kimpembe) and that he's ahead of the likes of Sarr, Ampadu.

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

There’s 16 league games, 6 champions league games, and 2 league cup games before the World Cup. 
 

24 games in 14 weeks. About 2 games a week. 
 

To suggest Colwill won’t get minutes or start at the minimum 10-15 games between then is utterly ridiculous.

It’ll be one of them. Not both. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Just get him a PL loan.

Tuchel himself has said ideally two more.

Even Romano, Law saying the same.

Then Tuchel is holding himself accountable for virtually every aspect in how this season pans out.

Even factoring out Colwill it's such overkill and totally contradicts the alleged news TT want the option to revert to back 4.

Mental and makes zero sense. You’d think Colwill along with Gallagher Tuchel would’ve wanted to prioritize.

[Superblue 6,370]

With the contract lengths of Broja and Colwill we're not in the same situation as the likes of Livramento.

If they want to leave to play regularly, encourage them that the pathway is still there and a loan is in their best interests instead of leaving permanently.

Compared to all the other top teams, our squad is already brimming with academy players. I feel Gallagher will get quite a bit of game time this season and I think Ampadu will stay in the squad too due to his versatility to play multiple positions. After Chalobah last season, and the likes of Mount and James before them, this should be more than enough evidence to point to players that there are opportunities in our squad if they are good enough.

Ironically we seem to be hoovering up a lot of highly rated players in the 16 - 18 age bracket around the league this summer.

Yup. I'm hoping it is a tactic targeting several deals and eventually choosing to bring in one more defender

[Vytis33 1,144]

Hope the reporting is inaccurate.  Colwill is what 19?  How many top clubs have a defender playing serious minutes at that age?  And to not take advantage of working alongside Thiago Silva is extremely shortsighted on his part.
