And who will want him anyway? Palace? I'm sure some mid table clubs would take him. The only potential issue is his wages, although I'm not sure how much he's on here. Less than 100k p/w?

Even without RLC he don't have place here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of fans wrote him off. I am not jumping to conclusions but it is not like he does not offer anything. He is a full English international. He has a decent pass, shot, can run with the ball. He is a good squad player. Not a pile of shit like some fans like to portray him. If he has another good game, the fans opinions will change like the win, like we always see.

The problem or frustration with Barkley is that he is not completely useless, he has some talents/good attributes but hasn't been committed to fulfilling them or shown the desire to be the best he can. Joining us was supposed to be the platform for him to go to the next level, to improve himself but he's still the same inconsistent player that he was at Everton - can be good in patches but not great/consistent overall - and he's already 26 years old, he should be entering his best years. If he doesn't show any improvement ASAP, don't be surprised if Lampard decides to just cut him loose in the summer, especially with Loftus-Cheek returning and players like Gallagher impressing on loan.

Nicco 927 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Someone was telling me Barkley isn't half the player Mount is. If Frank wasn't so biased he would've played him more. NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't want to kneejerk on one game (well two as he played the position against Brighton home aswell) but could his best position actually be in one of those deeper lying midfield positions? He had two clear shooting opportunities at the edge of the box yesterday that he wasted by dithering on the ball which was a clear reminder as to why he became so frustrating and fell behind Ruben then Mount in the advanced midfield role, however in a deeper role he kept things ticking over quite nicely and made some pretty good cross field passes to James. Dare I say, against the Burnley's of this world, he's may be a better option than Kante in that position.

Lampard explained why he chose Barkley for yesterday's match in his post-match Chelsea TV interview (from 3:12). Lampard said Barkley was selected due to the nature of game where we would likely have more of the ball etc and he also mentioned that it would be mad to drop Kante too many times. So yeah...

Lampard needs to put his genius level brain to work overtime and figure out what he is going to do with Kante. All else pales in comparison as he is still worth £100m-120m (this summer is it for that level) but he is just a bog standard CMF on the team now in most games when he is played so far forward. LB, non-Tammy CF's and Kante's continuous positional/passing/diminishing disruptive play struggles (which effects the whole team) are driving me bonkers. Thank fuck our wingers have overall been decent and Reece has exploded and our 4 CB's are all now (apparently) really starting to gel more. I am far more patient with Mount than many here, due to his intangibles plus I think he will deffo improve his scoring and linkage play as he matures.

We will really miss him in big games but against the bottom 12 we don't miss him these days, like atall. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,944 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Ross is an enigma of a player. Some matches he plays like Bakayoko where he can barely control a football and passes it to the other team more than our own. Other games like yesterday he looks smooth and silky with the ball. Frank has liked him and backed him in the media from day one so maybe now if he can stay fit he'll have a run in the side.
