What's new

Aleksandr Golovin

^ I suspect you're both right I'm just saying as of now he's one of our many centre-backs.

I disagree. Ruben needs to stay with us if we're to have any hope of keeping him. Another loan and he's as good as gone. Now's his time. He'll get his chances and when he does it's up to him to prove himself.

He's not getting in ahead of Kante or Jorginho so that leaves one spot to fight Barkley, indeed Bakayoko/Fabregas also for.

Not happening.

 
This was a done deal and now the club just changed their mind, lets just relax and put all of our hopes on the forever declining Fabregas...

 
Golovin going to Monaco must be a dodged bullet as I read on here earlier that he’s not as good as Barkley.

Even if Bakayoko is still here, I fancy Ruben's chances against him. If Sarri plays a 433 I think Ruben will get ample game-time. 3 midfield spots and only 4 other decent midfielders, along with him. It's a long, hard season.

 
[SIZE=12pt]Golovin choses Monaco over Chelsea, as they convince him over their project and game time. #CFC want another midfielder, but they have Jorginho added to an already crowded midfield [/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Truth is, it’s good news for RLC and Barkley who we really do need to step up this year and make an impact. [/SIZE]

 
I honestly don't care about Golovin. He looks like he has a lot of energy, but i don't think he's really all that much better than we already have, which is saying something because i don't rate Bakayoko or Drinkwater at all.

I would be happy for us not to sign anymore midfielders. What i really want is for us to sell Drinkwater, one of Willian or Pedro and spend that money on a new RW.

That would be so short-sighted by us its crazy......there are none guarantees Barkley will fly....what if he get injured Again......or doesnt do well when the actual sh*t Begins?

Fabregas will still be the first choice in that position, and he has more than one back up in Barkley and RLC. Personally, I won't be worried if any of the backups get injured.

Maybe Nabil Fekir then...or Martial?

I genuinely cannot believe that the Dippers are the only club to look at Fekir so far. He's a fantastic player and one that has matured recently too. There must be some sort of injury thing going on that's being kept quiet.
 
Drinkwater will eventually be Jorginho's backup. Our starting midfielders will be Fabregas with Barkley as his backup, Jorginho with Drinkwater as backup, and Kante with Bakayoko as backup. I think Sarri is a big fan of Fabregas.

With RLC, Barkley and mount (next year) we are set. Baka backs up Kante and cesc backs up Jorginho.
We have plenty in Golovin’s position so actually very glad this one didn’t happen. We need more English players.
Sell drinkwater though as he doesn’t really fit unless Baka goes.

I think Barkley will play quite a bit this season, and he's for more mobile than Cesc.

 
It was all going to be fine if I wasn't so sure that at some point in the near 2 years, we'll try to buy him and the price will be somewhere in between 60s and 80s millions.

Where did the comparison arrive from, and is it just an assumption?

I can't find it now but, it was a statistical comparison of minutes played and goals scored etc.

Personally I can't see it but, there are loads on here who seem to rate Ross Barkley as a future Lampard/Pirlo/Essien or something. In fact there are a lot of posters here who believe that Jorghino is more than enough for last seasons squad to make up 30 points on Man City. I admire their optimism and I hope they are right. And right now it looks like the club agrees with them.
