So does Chelsea getting Barkley is a way to play him over Bakayoko as he's proved terrible or what ? Because the only other way to play him as a starter will be ahead of Febregas which is miles ahead of someone like Barkley in creativity.

BTW let's hope he doesn't escape the medical as last time..
 
This deal will happen but not in January, the pre contract rule works the same between clubs from the same country, a lot of journalists forget that.
That rule only exists in England. If Bayern and Goretzka reach an agreement they can sign the contract today.

You can sign pre-contracts within 6 months of the end of your existing deal. Goretzka will sign in the next few days
 
Barkley is not half as bad as some are making him look like. Either way we don’t need him if we have any serious plans for Andreas Pereira.
 
Why was he not playing? Was it a Berahino-type situation? Because that lay-off proved catastrophic for what was a promising young player.
 
Never really got the Barkley hate, fair enough he's not progressed as good as he should have, but he's still a decent player.

15 million is a bargain.
 
Why does Can want to leave Liverpool?
Better club which have made it to the final stages of the CL on numerous occasions of late, more chance of winning silverware, better wages (Liverpool apparently don't want to agree to his terms), nicer location to live in, and at one point he was derided by the Liverpool fans for his quality so might have that in mind too.

Fair enough.

Didn't know about the bolded bit.
 


Delaney says if Coutinho leaves for Barca, Liverpool will target Lemar, Mahrez is a back-up. They will also try to sign a new GK.
 
He's a more talented player than Chamberlain who you signed for 3 times the price in similar circumstances. I think it's pretty obvious where the questions should be aimed in regards to this one.

I’ve not seen that talent to be honest, he’s not kicked a ball this season.
 
I am devastated. I have no doubt once he gets fully fit he's going to prove how good he is and we are going to regret this big time. You only have to look at the state of the team without him, we used to dominate all the other teams below us with him in the team now we can't even string 5 passes together and missing him is a big reason why.

Is he really that good? I must admit I haven't watched Barkley much but whenever I did, he never stood out.
 
They've admitted defeat in trying to replace him like-for-like then?

Probably because that money has already been spent. I don't personally think we will get anyone else once Coutinho leaves. Lallana will fill that role instead. Article says Mahrez as back-up. Why would we go for him when we have Salah and Sane? I'd rather give Ben Woodburn a run at a few games.

Lemar wouldn't be a bad replacement; capable of playing in the most advanced role of a midfield three or out wide, creative, quick, excellent set-piece taker etc. Coutinho out, Van Dijk, Lemar and a new GK in leaves them stronger than when the window started in my view.
 
They've got his replacement now.


Willian to united links will begin over the weekend. The criminal underusage of him by conte will mean we might actually get a second player from chelsea.

Chelsea fans were criticising Willian for his performances this season so not sure it is 'criminal underusage' if he hasn't performed.

Classic case of 2+2 here, delaney knows shit about any transfers, liverpool have 3 keepers in the squad they aren't going to sign a 4th because mignolet is rubbish.
