It could be the case that they thought we were getting smug over him not signing to them earlier....and they wanted to prove a point....who knows...lol

Gomes was an AM at Valencia. It's only Barca who have used him more at CM. Both Gomes and Barkley are big powerful dribblers, with an eye for a long pass. There's lots of similarities.
Rumours are self-reinforcing. The rumours for the last 4 months have been that Barkley to us was a formality. Even two days ago all the ITK and journalists were absolutely convinced. Now they are all quickly pretending they knew different

I miss Jamie Carragher. A goalscorer we could always rely on

Ross could break down again or go on to be a world beater. It is luck!
And as I've said we probably were really not an option for him personally.
Hopefully Gomes isnt the one we're after

I wouldnt put it past Chelsea at all. It was reported he was with Cheslea in August and backed out - maybe they just assessed his hamstring and did a deal for Jan then?
Seen it mentioned plenty, and its entirely believable IMO

I think that's the one we're really after and would be an awesome signing.

Really good player.
If you look back at what he was like at Valencia the year before last, he was amazing. It might just be that Barca's threat is meant to come from the front 3, so a midfielder like Gomes is meant to get the ball to them, rather than be the star by running with it etc like he did at Valencia. Rakitic is somewhat similar - plays more of a support role than he did at Sevilla...uses the ball well but kind of recycles it and keeps it moving, rather than being particularly penetrative

Bet Loftus Cheek is tinkled at the Barkley signing. Not that he would get much game time at Chelsea.
Good player but is he what we need given we already have Dier and Wanyama? Need a CM who is more like for like with Dembele

As GB pointed out yesterday, its Chelseas business plan.
I doubt they ever had any intention of making him a first team player, rather just using him to profit.
He's at the wrong club isnt he. Not that cheatski would ever sell to us, but I wouldnt be adverse to RLC joining us - done well at Palace and has a lot of potential IMO

*disclaimer*
I dont think Ive ever seen him play, and I know very well that Youtube is hardly extensive research
*disclaimer*
BUT, looking at this
I can certainly see him fulfilling the Dembele role, if you define that as a box to box midfielder who does great work defensively and also gets the ball up the pitch.
Nearly every action is directly forward, I can see that being a real asset in the premier league.
hmmmm....looking at those clips, he looks a lot better with the ball than I gave him credit for. I've seen him play before, but never actively watched him (if you understand what I mean) so maybe my impression was wrong, assuming that 1 min montage is an accurate representation of his skills
