BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Carlos Carvahal on Swansea in the transfer window: Quote We have money for sardines and I'm thinking lobster," said Carvalhal. “I will do my best to try and bring in the best players. I will look to the lobsters and sea bass, but if not we must buy sardines. But sometimes the sardines can win games.” Sounds like something Caixinha would have come out with CoatbridgeBear, Clemdog, Lloyd and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_gazza 1,065 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Barkley having another medical at Chelsea, would be funny if he knocked them back again after it. Probably doing it for a day trip to London. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Wouldn’t surprise me if Barkley is a bit part player for Chelsea for a couple of years and is then sold to a Stoke/Newcastle/West Ham for double what they paid for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 He's brainless and frustrating as fuck to watch but Barkley for 15 million could be a brilliant signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been earmarked for a few years and by Lampard himself as the one to take his old role. Matt Law also confirms this and also said Shaw and Stones were earmarked at the same stage.

I think they would need to change their entire system to accommodate him in a way to play to his strengths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea play 2 or 3 different ways already this season, he will get the chance to impress so it's up to him really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

born a blue nose 90,719 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 They have plenty of attacking options See if they could replace him with a Vidal type player they would actually be some outfit. I don't think they need a like for like player. Van dijk is obviously going to strengthen them at the back but I think they are missing a guy in the centre of the park Not that I could give a fuck they're a shite hole of a club but just adding my tuppence Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,680 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Really didn't think he'd go til the summer. Can't even play in Champions League. Insane money though, potential to be a proper force if they invest it wisely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Coutinho scores a lot of great goals but I don’t know if he’s a great player. Mahrez would be a decent replacement for him IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
