Barkley can't play CM so must be played in a more advanced position.

Really surprised that Bakayoko has gone to shit. I liked him at Monaco. He was raw but showed flashes of greatness. Would imagine he will be loaned out if he hasn't improved by the start of next season.

If Chelsea don't want RLC then we will take him off your hands. I'd like Musonda too.

What gets lost in translation with Bakayoko is that he's had persistent groin issues since his move to Chelsea so of course he's going to look shit when he has to cover for Drinkwater and Fabregas.

Translation: Levy won't give him funds and we'll sign no one.

He doesnt have to for Drinkwater as Drinkwater is on the bench. Seems like the Markelle Fultz shoulder excuse is being used.

Bring on the summer window and 18/19 because there's a fork well and truly in our season

Maybe we'll recall Janssen?

Just saw you having that convo with Doctor Gero on FB not sure the gooner joining in was particularly helpful

Old mr captain obvious with his 2c

Based on not signing Barkley? Bit extreme.
Still confident we'll hit the top 4.

also, i know i've said it a fair few times, but i still like barkley as a player. i can't remember if it was 13-14 or the season after but he was really good. whether it went to his head, the change of management, injuries, whatever. the talent doesnt just vanish.

I feel violated.

Welcome back campaigner.

Based on not improving this January we won't make it unless Liverpool get hit by a shit load of injuries.

Not worried about Liverpool.

Not worried about Liverpool.

They'll finish above us for even if coutinho goes. They'd need to lose him and Salah to be out for a month or two.

More likely to finish above Chelsea or United than Liverpool

Pretty much the only time in a decade we've been below them we had AVB/Sherwood and they had Suarez/Sturridge.
A meagre 3 points behind despite no Toby or Wanyama for ages. We'll be fine.

That stretch of games where we've got them United and Arsenal when we've got Juve will be telling.

Any less than 5 points and we are in trouble

It's alright, I didn't send either of you a friend request - I know how you feel about those who live north of the border

I learnt today they haven't taught the northerners how to catch

 

[Bradesmaen]

There goes our only creative player. Now we're a bottom 10 side.

We're used to just bowling them out - never needed to know how to catch before today

You guys were linked with a £40m quid bid for him after that season and it seemed fair value at the time. Was supposed to be his breakout season.

i think the bid actually happened. really wanted it to go through. him moving into his prime with pep in charge would be grand. but he really does need a top class motivator to push him again, and conte is that sort of guy.
