Good, it shows the new owners are going after better players.
He didn't look happy on the Chelsea bench yesterday, obviously thinks he should be on the pitch for them.

Re: Ross Barkley
He hardly makes the Chelsea match day squad this season and if the player demonstrates commitment to a 6 month loan to us this reported move by the club gets my support

Re: Ross Barkley
Something drastic needed in Jan. He would be a great addition-a midfielder who can score. Other than Westwood we are woeful in the CM department for scoring. Would also allow a 451 set up, which is the only other formation to 442 that SD is prepared to play

Massive massive upgrade on what we have now.
Re: Ross Barkley
There's a really good player in there and SD might just be the person to bring out the best in him. No brainer if we can get him and afford his wages. Might turn out to be another Trippier, Mee or Keane.

He's usually only good for 6 mths of the season so that's fine for us.

Re: Ross Barkley
I'd rather have Weston McKennie.
this speculation from last summer might actually get over the line. Juventus is hemorrhaging money right now, and while he does play, a lucrative offer might be too good to pass up.

Re: Ross Barkley
Is that because they were able to steal money from us with Drinkwater last season
And seriously, we said no ?
Loftus Cheek showed yesterday that these so called spent players can turn it around
If there is any chance, the likes of Loftus Cheek, Barkley, Oxlade Chamberlain, Winks or even Delph are available in Jan we need a major upgrade on central midfield and they would do so
Is Dale back on the grass yet

Liverpool and City tend to have the same sort of demands and that wouldn't suit Dyche, being told who to pick.
Loftus cheek has put in the effort to get back on track after that injury, you can see it when he's playing.
Winks is an interesting suggestion, but Spurs will want silly money.

If we carry on as we are we will be too far adrift to attract decent players.
Re: Ross Barkley
Would be a huge upgrade, would allow us so much flexibility in terms of changing the shape.
Re: Ross Barkley
I’ve seen this suggested before, but read it to relate more to their promising younger players, than players such as Barkley, who they obviously want rid of as opposed to caring if he plays or not.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 12:58 pmChelsea want their loanees to have guaranteed game time, decent loan fees and, where possible, wages covering to a degree.

Barkley is a huge step up in quality, if he can be motivated to deliver week in and week out.
Quite why we didn’t address a part of central midfield in the summer is anyones guess - it’s been a glaring issue for more than a few windows.

Re: Ross Barkley
I have no problem with taking on Barkley on loan but worry that we may putting our eggs all into one basket. The squad needs some new faces though out to catch up on under investment over the last few years, financing Barkley’s wages might restrict any long term recruitment.

Re: Ross Barkley
I think that’s a real risk at the moment. We’re playing well, no doubt about that, but we’ve all seen teams that play decent football go down.
As things stand we might need to look to January as an opportunity to sign players that will take us straight back up vs. Prem quality players.
If we’re in with a shout of staying up come January, I think Barkley would be top drawer and could be the difference.

Re: Ross Barkley
I think it very much about control. Burnley are far more attractive for a loan once the season is shaping up. Chelsea can send players where they best suit Chelsea, giving clubs the ammo to take out their rivals while offsetting the cost of depriving clubs of long term planning. It is why the biggest clubs are so desperate to mop up every bit of talent; they may not play but they deprive other clubs of building a base to improve long term.DCWat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 1:18 pmI’ve seen this suggested before, but read it to relate more to their promising younger players, than players such as Barkley, who they obviously want rid of as opposed to caring if he plays or not.

The club was clearly trying to ‘get by’ having not been able to meet the demands of players we wanted, something that can only be addresses sensibly as contracts run out and free up extra budget as their is unlikely to be many takers willing to offer more to the players than Burnley currently pay them.

As for silly money - what do we, or other clubs for that matter, consider to be a reasonable amount to give us a better chance of more Premier League football (and financial rewards)

I am surprised Gilmour is not playing for Norwich. When I saw him playing for Chelsea last season or indeed in the Euros against England (for Scotland) he looked outstanding.

Now I don't know the clauses in the contract, none of us do, but that's still pretty good.
There's a difference between getting no game time to not enough.
The Norwich manager has come out and said Gilmore will get it on merit though.

Re: Ross Barkley
Nobody can deny we need a goal scoring midfielder, and if Barkley is available in Jan we'd be mad to not at least consider him, especially as Cornet will be away on international duty for several crucial games in the new year.
And even if he only makes the difference in 3 or 4 games, that could ultimately prove vital to our survival prospects.
Wages might be high, but if it's only for a few months surely we have to take a modest gamble.

Lower down there are some comments from Villa fans. The difference between him and Drinkwater seems to be that Villa got a very few good games out of him first.
