da dobrowin: Newcastle fans have been discussing making a move for out of favour Chelsea ace Ross Barkley, and over two thirds of fans think they should make a move.
da doce: While Chelsea have now missed out on Russia wonderkid Aleksandr Golovin, it is clear that Maurizio Sarri wants a new creative midfielder at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues had trouble breaking down deep defences last season, and the combination of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho will not attack much, so a creative midfielder will still be a priority for Sarri.

This could be bad news for Barkley, who has made just two Premier League appearances since swapping Merseyside for London.
The former Everton wonderkid scored 21 league goals during his stay with the Toffees, and could look to revive his career elsewhere if he is pushed further down the pecking order by a new attacking midfielder.
Newcastle meanwhile are lacking some firepower up front, and are one Ayoze Perez injury away from not having a single player capable of thriving as a number ten.
Fans clearly think Barkley could fix this problem, assuming Chelsea bring in a new signing that pushes the 24 year-old further down the pecking order.
