I noticed the "Barkley for Chelsea in January" comments raising their head again. I cannot in my wildest imagination think that Barkley would be on Conte's radar. He would have no idea of his ability (or lack of) because he has hardly played since Conte has been in England and he hardly made waves across Europe before. If this is someone within Chelsea driving this then you can see why Conte is getting peeved about communication levels. He would add absolutely nothing to our team.

I guess a lot is quickly changing at Chelsea. I feel that coupled with the fact that every English club would gladly have a v. good English national team player like Ross Barkley in their squad; he's cheap for the (his) amount being mentioned. It will be a good opportunity for Chelsea to have another English national good.
So i think that deal is not so bad.

I understand the sentiment regarding English players but I am not so sure about "very good". He has had his moments but then so did Oscar and we do not want someone that is in and out and because he is cheap (ish) . My main point was that I cannot see him being a Conte choice.

Yea u might be right, he doesn't look a Conte's choice. I used the 'v. good' cos I was comparing him with other English players that could be available.

Imagine someone paid £40m for Ox Chamberlain.

We could hope that some of our loan players have fantastic seasons and are ready for the first team next season!
