Chelsea have been linked with a shock move for Ashley Barnes
With deals for Carroll and Crouch seemingly fallen through, 28-year-old Barnes looks to be next on Chelsea's shortlist.
And with the likes of Manchester United braced to sign Alexis Sanchez and Arsenal close to landing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Chelsea fans are unsurprisingly underwhelmed.
Supporters took to Twitter to question the latest move with one fan jokingly asking "whether the transfer window can close already?"
Another sarcastically joked: "Ashley Barnes off the bench at Barca away next month? Definitely in the right direction."

If we're looking for a 3rd striker because Dzeko's cup tied, I really don't see the point. What's Ashley Barnes going to do at the Camp Nou?

Antonio Conte has fully lost the plot if he pays money for Barnes, dear me 😂

SLIM PICKINGS Chelsea make loan move for Leicester flop Islam Slimani as Antonio Conte’s striker search continues
Barnes, 28, has made just eight Premier League starts under Sean Dyche this season and scored three goals.
No fee has yet been agreed between the two clubs, but SunSport understands work is going on behind the scenes to come up with a reasonable fee for the former Torquay and Brighton man.
Chelsea are one failed bid for Ashley Barnes away from going for Adebayo Akinfenwa.
