RLC - I promised myself i would not jump...

I'm not getting the Barkley thing, I think he looks adequate at best, with RLC looking a far superior player to me!

Yes BrummieBlue but Barkley is liked by Sarri.Barkley has got talent and skill and a bit of good form.RLC has got skill,talent,good form and power!

I'm liking him this season I have to confess, and I was very skeptical about him and especially his compatibility with SarriBall. The Sky Sports commentator said it best, he just brings something different.

You almost selfishly wish he's unambitious because I can't see him reaching a level where he's a nailed on starter, for Sarri or anyone else, but he's a really good squad option. He's like a mini Pogba (when Pogba gives a s***)

BrummieBlue

He fits the style. I don't think he's anything special either but as long as Sarri's with us he'll have a place in the squad, rightfully so.

He's very lucky, on a personal level I thought he was bonkers shunning Spurs for us, Sarri was the best thing that could've happened to his Chelsea career

Some typical Chelsea fans who don't expect much from RLC unlike most who do like him but still underrate his ability and skill!

That's sort of what I was alluding to. He's ok but I think RLC is the much better all round player!

Barkley's the more complete player, RLC might have more to him depending on what you value in a player. Personally I think they're ideal 3rd & 4th choice options beyond this season, I hope both are unambitious enough to be happy with that

RLC must start more games...we don't need three midfielders exactly the same....which is pretty much what we have with Kante Kov & Jorg

I wouldn't mind if one of them offered a scoring threat...but they don't

Kova and Jorginho are both meh tbh rather RLC-Kante-Barkley

Frankly that combination would be great Oscar!
