Wrong team mein Friend
That's the thing tho... he doesn't get fired up. He's probably crying into his coco pops thinking " they are all better than me.... and they're crap"

'in what was meant to have been an average campaign for him,
Barkley scored 12 goals last season and the numbers would suggest that the rate of his progression is nothing to get too worried about.
Barkley has scored more goals than Steven Gerrard had at the same age and chalked up eight more assists than Frank Lampard. Chelsea’s all-time record goalscorer had netted two more than Barkley at the same stage of his career. To put the rate of his progression into greater context, Barkley has made 121 top-flight club appearances and, aged 22, Santi Cazorla had played 96 games and Michael Ballack 46. Both men had one assist to their name and neither had scored 10 goals.
He has responded well to Koeman’s tough love, starting all four of Everton’s following games and his statistics stand up against Dele Alli, who has overtaken Barkley in the England pecking order.
In the same number of Premier League games, Barkley has scored one less goal than Alli, but has created one more and has attempted two more shots. He has created seven more chances and has been more accurate with his passing and shooting.

I by no means dislike Ross. Anyone can have a poor run of form and people forget how young he is, blah blah. I think there is no one that is miles better than him in his position on our roster. Maybe bringing in someone to get him to fight for his spot more is a good idea. I know it's not practical, but I would love to see Christian Eriksen (or someone like him) come to Goodison.
I know he's just extended his contract but he's one of my favorite midfielders in the league, and with Tottenham having just bought Sissoko (cause we couldn't for some reason) he could get pushed out of consistent first team play, especially coming off an injury. Maybe it's a pipe dream, but that would be an ideal signing in my opinion. He's still very young, just a couple years older than Ross.
Thoughts?

As soon as Spurs were interested, he just wanted the bright lights, big city ans that was it. Actually I am not sorry at all. Strikes me he has an attitude which we do not want at our club.

Are you talking about Sissoko? I'm not upset we didn't get him either. If anything it was a rumor that got blown out of proportion and we move on. I agree we don't need the superstar mentality at Goodison.

Good article that. You know what I like most about it? Nowhere does it mention that he would have to move to Man Utd or City to fulfil his potential.

Quite simply one of the most ridiculous comments even this forum has had to publish.
Not really? You telling me he isn't soft mentally? "They're not booing you rosco" if he was tough mentally he would be improving and wouldn't have lost his England place... he would have actually played in the euros and would not be getting stick from fans would he? I think he has imense skill and attributes and can do things that 95% of profession footballers can't do. But ... he can't do the simple stuff that 100% of footballers should be able to do.

All true.
He lost his England place because corrupt fat Sam and clueless Boring Gareth are inept.
He didn't play in the Euros because Roy Hodgson was inept - with Hodgson himself admitting that in training 'we've used Ross to represent Gareth Bale because he's the only player we have who runs at people'.

He had the better stats of any England midfielder going in to the euros. Whether it was him not getting into the team or something else there is a mental block that has halted his progress and confidence. It's funny because Barkley is the type of player they need in the final third.
I don't think anyone can doubt he is a natural talent. But he needs to develop a football brain. I don't know who would be the right person to help him in this regard, but I'd like Rooney to return one day and teach him a few things.

Says it all really. Pity he also didn't have Ross taking free kicks from 40 yards out. Might have kept a clean sheet then.
