I know ed said we're not after a striker but with psg getting neymar and bow possibly mbappe I think cavani could be available at a good price, other positions far more important I know but if someone like that where to come available,

Go and get Barkley think the lad has so much talent could be so good if someone wraps arms round him and let's him play.

He's bang average.

Agree9 Disagree4

10 Aug 2017 17:26:21
I don't think the club wants to sign anymore players this summer. Transfer is closed this season for Chelsea.

Agree1 Disagree5

I think if you play in a bang average team you will perform like yhat. I think he will do good at Chelsea. Surrounded by awesome players and a awesome manager.

Agree3 Disagree6

People said lampard was average when he was with a average team in west ham. Look what happened to him.
Barkley is a class act and I'd take him.

Agree3 Disagree5

10 Aug 2017 20:02:46
He's worse defensively than Fabregas. If he came here he would almost certainly play in the front 3 and we don't presently have a need there. No thanks.

Agree4 Disagree1

10 Aug 2017 22:25:01
Both Barkley and Fabregas are offensive and creative players.It is not the point that every player has to look like Bakayoko (defensive non creative wood-any central back can emulate that).Both named players are typical central attacking midfielders(classic n 10).

Regularly coaches play one offensive (Lampard, Gerard, Fabregas, Barkley) and one defensive (Matic, Bakayoko, Carick, Simeone,) that's when they play with 2 CM'S. When they play with 3 CM's they use 1 defensive and 2 offensive CMs.

Only Mourinho loves to play with 2 defensive CMs and 1 offensive CM of 3.Oscar left Chelsea so Chelsea needs attacking midfielder.Mikel left we have Bakayoko, Matic left and we need CM (Drinkwater is closest we can get). It's actually so pointless to discuss this.

maybe worth a punt i don't no he never stepped up that extra level we all expected hed be worth a look at around 20 million definitely.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2017 07:56:31
WTF are you talking about"he hasn't stepped up". He is 23. Hazard was the same age when signed for Chelsea. English international, regular starter in a club that always played first rank of football in England. If any young English player stepped up it's Ross Barkley.

why are we still wasting our time with OAC

Media in France saying united are close to signing aurier, possible Chelsea target, good signing.

10 Aug 2017 14:47:53
yeah metro say 5 yr deal.

Agree0 Disagree1

10 Aug 2017 14:56:41
He's been more trouble than Costa.

Agree3 Disagree1

10 Aug 2017 15:23:20
No matter what he's a fantastic player I think Conte could change him.

Agree2 Disagree2

10 Aug 2017 15:37:25
Conte isn't Jesus you know. it's down to the player and man himself to change. Yes a manager can give guidance, but they're grown adults at the end of the day! πŸ˜‰.

Agree2 Disagree2

10 Aug 2017 16:06:10
I guess he may mature?

He's a talented player.

Agree0 Disagree1

10 Aug 2017 11:15:29
Everyday I'm expecting some movement or big news concidering how desperate we are and how many player we need but nothing seems to be happening. Board are obviously trying just doesn't seem like much is happening,

Believable1 Unbelievable1

10 Aug 2017 10:45:32
We obviously need to sign an English/ Homegrown player. So who are our options?

Rose
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Barkley
Drinkwater

There is obviously more but these are who we've been linked with. If we could get Rose, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Drinkwater (not a fan of Barkley)

And I know this is very unlikely but if we could sign the three I mentioned, I'd be very happy come September.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

10 Aug 2017 11:05:51
I was just about to post pretty much the same thing.

I'd be very happy with Rose, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Drinkwater.

If we could get Barkley too then that'd be pretty good. I think Conte could be the coach to get more consistency from him.

Realistically I think we may end up with two of those four.

Agree0 Disagree1

10 Aug 2017 12:44:21
I would suspect Rose is not an option and why we would consider offering Β£35m for Ox I will never know. For a steady, competent, no frills player that all sides need I would take Drinkwater who would work well with Kante and both fed Vardy with pin point passing in their title winning year.

10 Aug 2017 07:52:03
Guys, what's your thoughts on Danny Rose? A wonderful signing that would be, if we can twist that Levy's arm😜.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

10 Aug 2017 08:19:55
Definitely, but there's no way Levy would sell to us unto.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 08:47:13
That was meant that I was end in unfortunately.

But you never know. If we were to offer the Β£60M that we're offering for Sandro, maybe the player himself could be keen?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I wouldn't hold your breath.}

10 Aug 2017 10:21:23
That is a shame.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 09:51:03
Many times targets that linger this long don't end up at Chelsea. If Chelsea can't get him in this transfer window, i think they should end their interest in him and move to other targets. I tired of reading his stories.

Diego Laxalt, Alex Telles aren't bad options.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 09:59:27
Thanks Ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 10:37:07
great player first half of the season but has had a lengthy injury. can he get back to that level of football.
but agreed i wouldn't say no.

english still has years ahead of him plus one up on spurs is always gd πŸ˜‰.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 11:28:06
Danny Rose was injured and operated in May. I would be happier if Chelsea resigns Ryan Bertrand ( more experienced, more natural for given position) .

Agree2 Disagree3

10 Aug 2017 14:59:50
Ed, is there any chance of Rose moving to any team?

I remember you saying PSG may have been keen at the start of the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes. Try the Spurs page, this is the Chelsea page.}

10 Aug 2017 16:07:09
I try to stay away. But thanks, will do.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2017 07:31:06
Imagine if we signed Danny Rose eh? πŸ˜‚ Spuds fans would be gutted. It won't happen but I think he's a fantastic player and the best left back in the league.

Id happily have rose as it doesn't look like sandro is attainable.
