Can't wait to hear who Wenger could have signed instead in 5 years time.
Jose barely plays any kids - but he always spoke highly of him and I always got the impression he thought a lot of him.
Trying to raise the English quota perhaps? Barkley and Carroll both linked.
RLC is a quality young player and no say whether he will return and play with us, but we have to fill a homegrown quota too. If we can buy a talented young(ish) English player then we do it. RLC has spent the last few years rotting on the bench so he needs at least another season on loan imo. It will do him good. Barkley is more experienced in the Prem.
If you read the rumours from the summer, Conte wanted Ross, even called him personally (apparently) so no, not a board signing by the sounds of things. Also, Conte was adamant on playing RLC as a striker, so obviously didn't like him in the CM position. RLC isn't exactly a workhorse in midfield, so maybe he's not what Conte is looking for, for that position.
Hopefully it leaves him coming to United in the summer. I think he's a hell of a player.
Kepa has passed his medical with Real Madrid.
Emre Can has chosen Juventus. The Bianconeri had very positive contacts with his his agent in the last hours. [Di Marzio]

Valverde insists Barcelona’s stars are mentally tough enough to get EVEN better if Messi gets hurt
Mourinho insists United’s stars are mentally tough enough to get EVEN better if Pogba gets hurt
Emery insists PSG’s stars are mentally tough enough to get EVEN better if Neymar gets hurt
Pep insists City’s stars are mentally tough enough to get EVEN better if De Bruyne gets hurt
With Barkley most likely going to Chelsea, I wouldn't mind trying to get Loftus-Cheek in the summer as a more than capable Pogba backup. He would be a relatively cheaper CM option. Kluivert and Mahrez would be good alternatives for the RW.
Loftus-Cheek
Kluivert/ Mahrez
Dybala (marquee player)
I think we'll go all out to sign Dybala and that could be a reason why we've gone cold on the Sandro deal (apart from Luke Shaw recent resurgence). Although I like the look of Tierney though.

Chelsea will just loan Barkley out to someone anyway - it's not as though he'll ever play for them.

@duffer and other chelsea fans thoughts?
Plays mind numbingly dull football.
Not sure Roman would take too kindly to that.
Every Chelsea manager has work within that sort of system with the club making the signings. Even Jose did .
Hasn't Abramovic parted ways with managers because they don't play Champagne football in the past? Or at least, hasn't he complained about it?
Why on earth would he go for Simeone, other than there being very few top level managers left to take over the club?

Yes, he did.
They say it will probably be signed today. My seat in Gala stadium is close to the pitch. Hope I will get to sign my United shirt to him!
The comments from Galatasaray fans saying they wanted AsamoahNice. Hope you manage to get it signed if it does happen.
Nice. Hope you manage to get it signed if it does happen.
Asamoah was not laughable and actually it was really close to be done before the summer window shut down. But obviously since then he started to feature regularly. Still, it has a chance to happen on free at the end of the season.
Yeah, that was the only reason I was laughing. Juventus aren't going to sell with the situation with Sandro and Asamoah is probably happier with the increased game time he has.
That seems a surprisingly low fee even for a player in the last 6 months of his contract. Oxlade-Chamberlain went for 40 in the summer.
Chelsea had a £35M bid accepted in the summer but Barkley backed out - probably so he could get higher wages in a cut price move this month. Price was always going to be halved. Like with Sanchez: he was linked with a £60M move last summer and now it is half that if City sign him this month.
He had a full 12 month left though, if the scouse had waited until January then they wouldn't have paid 40m.
Why would we want him?
