Waste of time in my opinion. He's energetic but lacking in footballing intelligence, gets goals but nowhere near enough for the position we'll probably play him. Not forgetting we're already stacked in CM and he's just going to block any chance RLC had of coming back.

From a business point of view you could say this is a fairly astute signing (young w/ high resale value) but from a footballing angle it's extremely disappointing.

we'e stacked in CM? that is news to me.

Unless we're aiming to move to 3-5-2 full time I don't know why we need more than 4 CMs.

Because bakayoko, the less said the better, fabregas is getting on, we're in every competition and Dwater is still settling in. We only have one real class CM and that's kante, fabregas is rarely used in a 2 anymore.

Barkley doesn't have the passing ability, vision or footballing intelligence to replace Fabregas. Of course he's a different kind of CM but if he's taking Fabregas' place he's going to need to add more assists/goals to his game. If we were to play them in the same midfield I think we'd suffer from a lot of the same defensive frailties we have when Bakayoko plays - in fact they'd probably be worse.

Also, the fact that Bakayoko is already looking like a dud doesn't give me much confidence in our first team scouts abilities. This Barkley could very easily go the same way.

Funny how so many opposition fans are falling over themselves to tell us how poor Barkley is etc. Bet they never had a bad word to say about him before today's news that he's signing for Chelsea.

Bet you actually believe this as well. So paranoid. No wonder you were a Jose acolyte.

£15m as a squad filler is good business. Not the greatest player, but has some decent attributes.

Whoa easy there Darren. You attack Superb, you attack me. And if you attack me, you attack Nickasaurus and you don't want that work.

Calm down m8. not just on today’s account, it’s been a long observation to conclude that you are definitely you are a bitter mug. I say it how I see it, weather you like it or not. Up to you to reflect on this

Ok!

Shouldn't you be running along now anyway? Think I saw Mr C post walkies on another article.

apparently Barkley created the 5th amount of chances in the league last year. Hazard was 4th
