Chelsea Barkley Bid Rejected

[a bell maul]

did he pull a muscle or get kneecapped?

...suggestion has been made that he's stepped on some toes of one or two 'unsavoury' characters.

Give us a bag of chips and Costa for the season and I'd dance like Suzie.

...isn't she the South African hotel house maid who spiked the English rugby team's afternoon tea?

 

[bol-uk]

Really wish he would stay

 

[BiggyRat]

Keep reading the title & thinking its about Charles Barkley.

...Spurs fans forum suggesting no bid has been made by Chelsea and this is a ruse to get Tottenham to pay more than they are prepared to.

I didn't know we could be so devious.

Makes sense as SSN aren't really acknowledging it (more talk of Drinkwater to Chelsea)

I thought as much!. I sometimes get her confused with the lackadaisical waitress who just dumped all the team's food in the middle of their table...but I think she was called Lazy Susan...

Imagine being 2nd choice to Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Lol.


See ye Ross

Imagine being 3rd choice behind AOC and DANNY DRINKWATER......

United are showing interest now ?
there a fair few midfielder he would be behind there too - TBH who would risk signing any player with a torn hamstring, how would we feel if we were paying that amount for a player with that injury?

Here's some comments on the BBC from fans of other clubs. Seems the chap from Birmingham yesterday was talking pap and he's not as highly rated as he suggested he was!

"I think Everton will have done brilliant to get anywhere even close to the figures being quoted. Is he not just like Jack Wilshire?!?! Billed as next best thing but is unfulfilled potential?! Least jack wants stay with his home club as he knows not going get any better..Ross is deluded if he thinks he will do any better"

"Drinkwater makes more of a contribution than Barkley, but here's another chappie whose self-image and performance are dissonant. Must listen to his agent too much. Drinkwater should be pleased with a regular premier league start in a decent team and a multi-million pay packet. . He's not going to develop into a huge talent. Again why do Chelsea want to buy him? He's not good enough for them."

"No way do Chelsea need the loser Barkley! This is a bluff to get Drinkwater. Everton should have sold because now he is going nowhere and it's not just the £25m they lose but the cost of his wages for sitting on the bench for a whole season"

"How many young talented players have left Everton to then flop at their new clubs? Rodwell, Gosling, Jeffers ..... and Barkley will join them. Bench warmer at Spurs or Chelsea then sold to Stoke or West Brom 3 years late"

"Drinkwater, Oxlade Chamberlain and Barkley. So basically Chelsea are looking for an English player they can bench all season. Something really needs to be done about Chelsea and City they are just buying English players to meet quotas and as a result ruining their careers and the diminishing the pool of players the England national team can choose from. They are doing it at youth level as well"

"What ive seen of barkley hes to selfish with the ball to intent on shooting for goal....Rather than passing to another player thats in wide open space and has a better chance of scoring....not worth 25m"

"Such disappointing progress with Barkley. Closest player I've seen to Gazza when he made his England debut a couple of seasons ago but hasn't kicked on since then".

"That's way too much for an average player... Everton should cash-in..!"

All good comments them

Looks like they are bidding for him for the bench and because AOC knocked them back.

They are even buying Danny Drinkwater for central midfield, so where this clown fits into their system is a complete mystery. It reeks of getting the English quota up ala City and Fabian Delph.

Champions want him, the legnths people will go to twist this to fit their agenda is comical and pure delusional.

 

[Groucho]

I'd swap him for Batshuayi

Not true though we are missing RB atm in midfield - he held the ball up - he had the pace - he scored - he has near enough the same stats as the sig - hope he signs tbh!
