Perhaps they don't think they're quite good enough.

Andy Carroll, on the other hand,...

Mind you Conte fancied Llorente so maybe he is interested generally in lamp post type strikers.
 
Well it is the Daily Fail, after all.
 
Crazy as it sounds, I see ‘some’ of KdB in him in terms of style. Power, drive, shot off both feet. Not the same creativity of course.

Absolutely. He is like KdB but without the whole 'quality footballer' thing.

Still would make sense for Chelsea as better than Bakayoko and Drinkwater, and Fabregas often looks knackered.
 
First, Essien's statue, and now this...

Thanks for the sarc. Perhaps ‘like KdB but without the whole ‘extraordinarily quality footballer’ thing’ would have been a more applicable retort.

He is still very much potential, but his trajectory wasn’t behind what KdB’s was as a young player. He was a talent, remains to see whether he can get it back, but he has good attributes.
 
Barkley is rubbish. That Chelsea midfield is going to the shitter with every passing day.
 
Weird signing. Will he get the game time, and do Chelsea need him?

Absolute waste. Loftus-Cheek has more potential than Barkley and is already on our books. Where the feck does this leave him?

Thankfully it looks like we'll get him for a bargain, cut-price sum so it's not a huge letdown if he flops. I just don't see where he gets into our team.

Also, I don't believe for a second that this would be a Conte signing. Smacks of the board trying to strike gold with another cheap deal.

Yeah I agree. I feel the same way about this not being a Conte signing. I’m not sure he wanted Drinkwater either.
 
We can take RLC then if Chelsea replace. Jose loves him.
 
I really don't understand Chelsea. They have so many promising youngsters in midfield and attack, yet they want to splash the cash on Barkley and Carroll, of all people?

It boggles the mind.

Lot of that going around at this club and I and many supporters are extremely annoyed at how little say the fecking manager has in transfers, both in and out. Doesn't get any of his main targets and those he clearly wanted to keep (Matic) get sold.

Sarcasm? José barely have him a sniff. Honestly, Conte completely misused him last season as well. This loan at Palace where he gets consistent game time in his actual best position should've been the perfect training for him to then return next summer. With Barkley coming in I don't see that happening.
