Tbh I can understand Ox and Barkley. They think they won't play much at Chelsea. Llorente however, why the feck did he choose Spurs over Chelsea.
 
Chelsea have been stumbling around in this transfer window like a drunk slapper that nobody wants to go home with.
 
The most Ross Barkley thing ever.

Probably got into the final third of the medical and couldn't make a decision.

To be fair, he probably thought he would fail it mid way through so thought sod it I might as well leave now and embaress Chelsea instead :lol:
 
Everton shareholder on SKy sounding not delighted that Barkley changed his mind. "He's technically still an Everton player" "reconsider during the January window".
 
Must be something else going on here and it might say as much about Chelsea as the player.

Maybe he felt he wasn't actually wanted and would be swapping one bench for another. Seem like a last minute panic buy and who knows who's making the decisions about players in.

Clearly all is not well there. Conte seems unhappy and maybe potential signingsare nervous that in 6 months they'll be stuck with a new manager and their face won't fit.

A lot of players would have took what would be a substantial pay rise regardless. Maybe his career might be better for this but who knows.

He probably thinks he's better than Janssen and wouldn't get a look in with Batshuayi behind Morata.
 
He's just lost Everton £35m. Now he'll leave on a free next summer. (Or substantially less in Jan)
 
Maybe he failed it. But then it wouldn't be in Chelsea's interest to report it in this way because they lose face. So I guess he did change his mind and that's actually the truth.
 
Maybe the Chelsea reserve manager visited him during the medical to express his delight at working with him this season.

Either that or he was off his chops on ket.
 
I'd imagine that Barkley still wants to go to Spurs and has been quietly told to hang on 'til January. He's won't be fit to play until much before then any.

Everton have played this badly - they won't get £35m for him in the winter, not when he's on a free just 5 months later. Off to Spurs for maybe £15m in the winter is my guess.
 
There's something fishy about this. I would not be surprised if he signs for Chelsea in January for considerably less than the £30 million agreed today.
That's probably what the doctor said during the medical, forcing Barkley to make a run for it.
 
The version of events from the Shed End forum which I think is the most believable: Barkley probably got a text from Pochettino to wait till January since they missed out on Andre Gomes and since he wanted to go there all along he changed his mind at the last moment.

See him join Spurs in January.
 
:lol::lol:

Chelsea have been well and truly mugged off today. Imagine them finally getting a player in and then him bolting mid-medical :lol:... they're stuffed!
 
He refused to sign his medical papers, when it said loan contract on top.

Good to see some players finally get smart about their careers and don´t make stupid short-sighted decisions, so Chelsea can whore them around for a profit. Just bank the money yourself on a free transfer next summer. Take your time, sort out all the offers and then you make a decision.
