So, now this is Levy's fault? Most of SC didn't even want him, but now that it's a possible miss, you're all raving that it was Levy's fault?
The reality is that had we bought him in June it would have cost us 35+, now obviously that might have changed things, but what if he'd been injured a few weeks after we paid 40m for him?
I think it was smart business to wait this out.

Well, if we don't sign any attacking third players. Be interesting to see what happens if Eriksen gets crocked.
Super Sissoko..... wahoo!

The Ox to Pool for £35m. That is the mark for Barkley to Spurs! Over to you DL
I wouldn't pay 35m for an injured Barkley
And the fact I am pretty sure Arsenal would refuse to sell to us?

I'd take Ox in a heartbeat. He stagnated under Wenger but Poch would see him right. I suspect he'll look a different player at Liverpool.

The most bang average does-nothing player I've seen in recent years. He's barely worth £15m not £35m.
Football's gone mental when not only do people want a nothing player like Oxlaid-Chamberlain (I'm not using his stupid nickname), but would be willing to pay through the nose for him. He wouldn't get anywhere near our team in any position.

That Chelsea regularly can, and do, pay massively over the odds for players, regardless of whether it's a good deal, because they have infinite money and particularly like to go for players they know we are interested in as it prevents us getting them?

Market values changed. The sooner you realise that, the better.
Demarai Gray is valued at 30m. An average player who's done absolutely nothing so far in his career.
Even with a year left on their contract, Barkley and Oxlade are young and on the national team. They were extremely highly rated a few years back. They have a lot more experience and quality than Gray and are only 2 years older.
That's why they value them at those numbers. If they were not in the last year, they wouldn't be available for transfer to begin with, and if they were, they would cost more than 50m

I know but he's a frustrated CM- that's where he sees himself, or at least as an AM/CM. I suspect Conte wanted him as a wingback which he doesn't particularly like
Am guessing he may try for a move to Poch's merry men in Jan (still time to get in the WC squad) and if not perhaps would consider a new contract at Everton
