We’re desperately trying to distract ourselves from the disaster last night – what better football antidote to a bad result than a transfer rumour? Surely this player will be the one who fixes us…

In this case it’s a deal we can actually see happening. CaughtOffside have an exclusive which claims that the “deal is nearly done” to bring in Valentin Barco from our sister club Strasbourg. The 21 year old former left back has been converted to a midfielder and looks absolutely superb on the ball for the French side.

Barco could be brought in as Enzo replacement

With Enzo Fernandez now being linked with moves away, it seems his countryman is being considered as a potential replacement. Liam Rosenior worked with Barco at Strasbourg, although whether the manager will still be here next season is another question.

As a midfielder, we would actually see Barco a little deeper than Enzo usually plays for us, and he’d take on more of a Romeo Lavia role in the squad. It will be very interesting to see how he copes in English football, having already had one spell with Brighton.

In other news…

Chelsea are getting leaks from within the dressing room and Sky think someone is trying to take down Liam Rosenior.

Everything that could have gone wrong for Chelsea this week did go wrong – and we’ve got a comprehensive list of it all here.
