I know, bonkers. I suppose they’re probably going quite cheap and he thinks they can do a job. Barkley seemed to play ok under Frank didn’t he? 
 

They’re both wasting their career either way so they need to move on from Chelsea.

If we get 10mill for the two and get them off the books we have done well.

A fire sale of all the deadwood to host get rid of them.

Ross, Bats, Baka, Emerson, Alonso, Timo, Ziyech etc etc at 5mill a pop to get them gone.

Joakim Maehle (RB) Agent has been speaking to West Ham about the Atalanta player. He has also spoken with Chelsea and to Spurs. He might perhaps be third or even fourth choice for Chelsea.

On the basis that our second choice is not good enough ans we're shipping him out, how sh*t must this guy be to be 4th choice.

Granted I've only seen youtube clips but he looks like an ideal addition.

Bats and Barkley in talks with Everton on permanent moves. I’ll believe it when i see it - but surely Frank knows won’t work out!

Batsman has comfortably the best strike rate of any of our forwards ... get him the right service and he'll score, even at Everton.

Still think Barkley, if he had been played more, would have turned out ok for us. I think he intuitively plays the central midfielder position as well as anyone in our squad. 

Sticking my neck out, I'll say that both of them will do well with a fresh start and a bit of faith shown in them.

Well if we sell them in time for it I would not put it past both to score for Everton next weekend 😉

Interesting stats.

If Bats went 38 games (a full season) without scoring for us would he go from deadwood to being a top talent being let down by the coach and the system?

Neither Batshuyai or Barkley are good enough to start for us but I think they're both handy squad players.

As we are right now I'd rather have Bats in a squad spot than at least one of our wingers (no prize for guessing who) despite his obvious limitations he fills a role in our squad no one else can and he's a handy finisher to bring on late.

When they were handing out the CERB payments for those who's jobs were deemed not essential, as well as the other programs going on, I said they would have a plan to get their money back with interest. Plenty thought those programs were free cause the government cares about them. Lol 😆

 
Werner to the Jawdee's on loan. Ziyech still going?

We need to get some replacements in.

The change of ownership and our inability to get involved in the transfer market earlier has been an issue.  But I think we are going to be okay.  Somne more defensive recruits and there is talk of a "wild card" incoming transfer.  A striker-winger perhaps?

 
Based on rumor, our transfer strategy this season is like throwing a big wide net and see which one stick. We are linked with all cb and all winger. Tuchel probably said I want 2 cb and one winger. We got sterling so we are done with winger. But cb wise, we are linked with 

de light, kounde, kalidou, fofana, cucurella, kimpembe. 

All of them have different profile. 

Do you want older or younger CB? Yes. 

Do you want short cb or tall cb? Yes. 

Do you want fast cb or slower is fine? Yes.

 
Kyle Walker-Peters mentioned as RWB backup for James

Rumours that we’ve made contact with Depay. Not sure if I’m keen on him. One good season?

Barca and his agent needs him to find buyers. Depay is the last sort of forward that we need

That is pandering to Barcelona. At least with FDJ we would be getting something out of the deal. This guy has already proven that he can't cut it in this league.

Agreed. He's a part-time footballer part-time rapper at this point, we should steer clear
