Chelsea Barkley Bid Rejected

Amazing how people totally dismiss Barkley getting game time at Chelsea despite them being prepared to spend a substantial amount of money on him. Also obviously overlooking the fact the lad is a very good footballer who will be surrounded by far better footballers than he currently is here.

Seems like a bit of a coping mechanism to deal with the fact we're about to sell one of our best players.

Chelsea, City, etc have stupid money to literally just throw at English players to keep their homegrown players up. He'd get occasional gametime. He may be a rich man's version of Fabian Delph, but he's in there somewhere.
 
Being a bit harsh on Barkley in here. With a change of scenery and added motivation I think he would be a very valuable player for Chelsea.
I honestly don't see him as the type to get motivated. He'll be living large at a "big" club, shagging whatever comes in his wake, counting his money, and picking splinters out of his arse. Then it'll be time to move on the Villa or something.
 
We should do what I always used to do to players that spited me on Football Manager. Agree a deal with a club to sign them at the end of the season, then put said player on a high intensity training schedule focusing on everything he shouldn't be. So in Barkley's case, handling, command of area, throw-ins, etc. That'll learn him!

Just amazes me you're all so sure that he'll be a complete flop. Really doesn't say much about us when he's one of our best players.
