2 weeks left of the window, and we have no idea how we will lineup this season given who is coming in and who is leaving.

It's incredible isn't it.  United is also three weeks away from going into the season with the exception of Fred with the same line up that proved so successful last year.

Can't believe the likes of Chelsea and United have done so little business so far.

What's happening to Ross Barkley this season? My understanding is that he wasn't that fit to jump straight back into the team after his long term injury last season.

Is he expected to be a first teamer or will it be another classic Chelsea case?

His long term injury finished six months ago. He played not long after they signed him in January. Either he has a recurring injury in which case lol or he's just shite in which case lol as well.

Yeah, finished not long after they signed him. Doesn't mean he's back to full fitness or 100% sharp.

He's had half a year. How long are they expected to wait? He was playing games months ago so unless he's suffered a further injury it would be ridiculous to not expect him to be fully fit for the start of this season.

I know he's fit now, I was referring to when he first joined Chelsea.

When he first joined he was thrown into a couple of games and in some of those it was because we didn't have any other option, if memory serves this was the case against Arsenal in the League Cup. Since that handful of games in the early months of this year, he's had some injury problems again and Conte has constantly said throughout the year that he needs time, that he's not ready and that we need patience with him. The press asked about him a few times and Conte said the same thing every time.

We still have to see what Sarri's plans are but perhaps there's space for him in the 4-3-3 (if he goes with what he did with Napoli) with Kante and Jorginho. Of course, the first thing it depends on is whether he can stay injury free and fit, then if that's the case,  I don't think he's expected to be a first teamer but rather a regular squad player. The most important thing with Barkley's future though is Sarri, the tactics and whether or not he takes a liking to him. I would say though that the future under Sarri doesn't look bright for the three Englishmen, Cahill, Drinkwater and Barkley but Barkley probably has the biggest chance to have a bigger role out of the three if he stays fit.

Fabregas off? Could still do a decent job in central midfield if you also allowed him to attack more and get into the box. Or just play him as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Don't think he's really been allowed to play his natural game at Chelsea.

His legs are gone. The hamsik role involves a lot of running and athleticism. 

Cesc at this point is only an impact player
