Gonna leave out arguably our biggest homemade talent since Rooney to accommodate a has been thug?
Well basically yes... I can't stand the bloke myself but I am basing my point on the fact he has been arguably one of the best players in the premier league over the past ten years and can still play at the highest level ( albeit he doesn't have the legs to be as potent as he once was ) , Barkley is without doubt a huge talent but to omit Gerrard based purely on blind hatred would be obtuse of me.
Obviously, it goes without sayin really that I hope Barkley goes on and surpasses what Gerrard has achieved in the game. I beieve he has the potential to be however good he wants to be.
