I'm pretty certain Barkley won't happen.
Why would we pay £20-30 million for a player who is injured, can't play until December-Jan and who is in his final year of his contract?
I'd love for Levy NOT to buy Barkley this year, but to go in during January or next Summer. It's unfortunate, but it makes no financial sense to pay for something you can get for free simply by waiting.
I would hope some contact can be made with Barkley, convincing him not to accept offers from Chelsea or anyone else if he wants to fulfill his career and potential then simply wait it out.
