Wilshere isn't a smoker. No idea wtf is he doing with it. Safe to say he will never do it again

anyways back to Barkley.

by Highburied Fri Oct 04, 2013 4:34 pm

Barkley would be perfect replacement for Lampard.

He kind of reminds me of him.

They won't let this one go

Of course they will I don't think its a good career move for the player though.

Holy shit! What a performance yesterday. Has a habit of holding onto the ball a bit too long but hopefully that will improve with experience.

His combination of balance, control, strength, pace & skill is hard to deal with it.

Hope he doesn't end up at United. :facepalm:

what a goal....

by Red Alert Mon Dec 23, 2013 1:28 am

Not sure if the right thread for it, but what ever happened to Jose Baxter? He was rated in the same bracket as Barkley couple seasons back.

he is future of England NT

by REWB Mon Dec 23, 2013 1:51 am

he's decent but i dont think we will move to any top club atm, there is no space for him in his position at any of the top 4 clubs. i can see him staying at everton for 4-5 years.

by Swanhends Mon Dec 23, 2013 2:26 am

I don't understand the United link, they already don't know wtf to do with Kagawa, why would they bring in yet another CAM to play out of position or hang out on the bench behind Rooney?

Then again, it is United...

by VendettaRed07 Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:01 am

Don't think united will sign him, at least not for a while. They charged them £30m for Fellaini, sure they'll try to double that for Barkley.

by CBarca Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:02 am

Fantastic talent. Love watching him play.

Moyes logic smoking

Barkley's better than Fellaini, especially in that CAM role. Everton did very well to get that much for Fellaini, and just have a player to step right in. lol

The kid has talent, but I see some problems in his game. Mostly is that he is a very good dribler, but not a very good passer. I'm not sure he can be a top midfielder if he doesnt improve his passing dramatically.

He's about as proven as Deulofeu right now. (Both inexperienced.) He's still a kid, he obviously has weaknesses but I do think you're over exaggerating on his passing. The kids tremendously talented, and that's coming from a Liverpool fan.

Good Performance at CM role

by junkyard Thu Mar 19, 2015 4:43 pm

Another overhyped english kid?

Laughing

by B-Mac Fri Mar 20, 2015 5:14 am

no just needs to leave everton to further his development

we'll take him i guess :coffee:

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:17 pm

2 years after the hype, Barkley is quietly turning into a beast of a player.

by Sri Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:19 pm

Deflection.

by Mr Nick09 Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:20 pm

what's his best position?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Oct 24, 2015 6:22 pm

I still don't know that tbh, at times I think he's better as an AM but not a playmaking one in terms of slow build up but other times I think he's better as a B2B midfielder with freedom offensively.

He has been very good this season though.

by B-Mac Sat Oct 24, 2015 9:07 pm

one of my favourite players to watch, would love United to snatch him up...been on that hype train since his debut season

by Jay29 Sat Oct 24, 2015 9:13 pm

I'd say AM is his best position since he lacks defensive discipline. If he becomes a better defender than B2B CM, definitely. Has the pace and power to play that role.

His playmaking isn't bad but he takes too long to make a decision. He's at his best on the counter where he can use his pace and dribbling.

by McAgger Sun Oct 25, 2015 4:41 am

Certainly fun to watch, but frustrating at the same time.

Would hype/10.
