Looks like Bruce has already sold Barkley to Man Utd
Dan Gosling scored against Man Utd. Not entirely sure what point you're trying to make here.

Ive just watched this.
The teams he scored against.
Southampton
Fulham
Everton x2
West Brom x2
Villa
Huddersfield x2
Reading
Newcastle
Norwich
Not a single goal against any team that finished in the top half, us aside.
I don't know why you'd work so hard to prove your very early writing off of a player is correct? Are you really just judging him on what he has done here, or did you watch him at Wigan last season?
Not that I paid any attention to him before he came here to be honest...
The general rule of thumb as a football fan is not to judge a player who is new and barely had a kick.....I don't think "I call it how I see it" negates that..
In fact the PL squads have been named - here: You will see that Arsenal have just 21 named (including 5 HG, 2 of which are not British anyway - so just 3 born in the UK).

This goal actually made me laugh. He would have been hard pushed to display any less technique with those two touches!
Looked a little sharper against Cardiff though and I'm in the 'anybody but Jela' camp at the moment.
Back on topic, decent squad now and hopefully the end of players playing ridiculously out of position or still playing when clearly out of form.
