He’s also had a whole season in the championship, getting in the Team of the season selection I think.

Two whole seasons in the Championship, one whole season in League One and played fifteen times for Chelsea last season, all at the age of 22.

But still, "pretty untried".

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to evaluating players. Some top players may be immediately successful, while others may take time to adjust. Similarly, some lesser-known players may surprise us with their performances. It is important to assess each player on their own merits and not rely on generalizations.

*Out of curiosity I used the new Samsung AI to get the gist of what I typed out and it churned out this. Much cleaner than the shit I originally put in. I may be a computer from now on.

With Barkley to add to that.

I am all for bringing in very promising youngsters but there is only any real experience in Barkley.


1 of them probably has more CL experience than our current squad combined?

Nah. Seven matches for Dortmund.

Tielemans has played twenty, Bailey and Diaby have a half dozen each, Digne has twenty-three...

Edit - Kamara has five as well.

Edit 2 - unless you meant Barkley. Six games when at Chelsea.

Iroegbunam gone to Everton it looks like for £9m. Seems like a very good fee for a player Emery didn't rate really. Good luck to him.

Are we tryna buy a whole new squad this summer?

The 'ammer in that vid doesn't mention when this Orford chap's contract expires, just that it is running out innit.
