Mount?
We all know he's had an impressive last Two seasons at Vitesse and Derby respectively.
Who would you prefer to see if it's a straight choice between those next season?
Just to wet your appetite here's a link to remind you of what he has to offer, in case you haven't seen him in action for Derby this season.

Obviously I'd love to see him as part of the squad but as we all also know the club generally doesn't follow any logic known to mankind when it comes to our academy.
They'd much prefer to pay £35m to a staid 25+ something than a young vibrant player with an eye for goal that we've developed ourselves (with a little help from outsiders).
Or maybe the penny has finally dropped with CHO.
Kovacic, Barkley or........

Barkley has to go, guy's clueless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think he’s clueless. But when he can’t control a football it’s a worrying sign for a pro footballer

I really thought he'd nail down a place this term post his health issues....hasn't...been disappointing

He's had some good spells this season but he can't do it on a consistent basis.
Probably OK for a squad player but if we want to get closer to City and Liverpool, we need an upgrade on him.
But the priority is still a centre forward and left back for me. With a midfield 3 of Kante, Jorginho and RLC it's not the main area of concern.

Yeah agree sheriff. Looks to have all the traits to be a good player. But never seems to kick on. Do wonder if drive is an issue.

Having said that. Do I think Barkley is good enoug? Probably not but he is the epitome of where we are as a club.
I also feel he gets a tough rep when he has arguably been better than kovacic but for whatever reason kovacic gets more of a pass because he looks prettier.
Drinkwater, Barkley, Cahill, all British players who sent to have got a tough review from our fans but never as bad as the moratas or bakayokos who got chance and Chance over and again.
All I ask is our players get a fair crack at it so we can judge correctly.

He had a good period October to December but lost his way when the team started playing badly. We were p!ss poor in the new year - he wasn't the only one. The only two consistent performers throughout this season have been Rudiger and Hazard (although Azpilicueta has been acceptable for the most part). Would much rather see Barkley in a Chelsea shirt than Kovacic. We still need another midfield option though.

Kante?
And I thought azpilicueta was poor this year

Does anyone think Reece James, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham will be at Chelsea next season, or will they be loaned or sold? For what others have done, I'd much rather have them with us. Abraham would have scored more goals for us than Morata did and probably Higuain as well. Mount looks as if he could be a great player and what has Zappacosta got above James? It would be nice for us to make three really top class signings and use these players to build a base for the future. When you think ofhow much money our bench / reserves are earning and the amount of game time many have had - it seems ridiculous.

I'm sorry but Barkley has had ample chances.
