Depends on his attitude really (if it's true).
Am told by a Chelsea supporting friend that Conte has played him as a striker this season, albeit only in a couple of cup games. If he can work there he could be useful as a flexible option who can work multiple roles.

Similar to my thought, he can't be expected to get game time week in, week out. I can't see this happening because I'm not even sure what position we'd be wanting him to play in, if not dictated by Chelsea.
I reckon he'd be used as competition to Baldock, similar to how Pritchard was probably intended to be used.
As someone said above, he's been used as a forward at Chelsea and has been moved from CM to CAM on FIFA. We aren't in desperate need of any other CMs with the three we have an Kayal coming back soon, although he'd be useful there is we did get injuries or suspensions.

Here we go loftus cheek is no good we need an older proven player. Frank is too experienced and too old.
Barber has been asked that question and has made 100% clear that we have never agreed to a loan deal with any guarantee of selection. The only pressure to play the loanee is financial. He explained that such deals (Prem starlet to smaller club) are structured such that if you do play them the parent club will cover (some of) the wages, as they are pleased they are getting the games. If you don't play them you end up paying more or all of their (ridiculous) wages.

"I like him a lot in the position of striker," said Conte after that display. "In this system, with two midfielders, Ruben can play close to the other forward but become a forward when we have the ball."
