Is he type of a guy who will push for a move to get playing time or doesn't give a damn as long as he receives his big paycheck? 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?

Exactly 100k. Didn't see any rumours about him leaving but I hope we sell him in January. Even without RLC he don't have place here.

I think Barkley is done under Lampard . 

Didn't play since mid October. I hope we see him tomorrow. Was our best player in pre season.

Are you still hoping that Barkley will turn out good!?

Marko Marin used to boss it in the pre season...

People wrote him off but he has something to offer. Should play more.

If he at least keeps his performance from today, Kante has absolutely no business walking back straight to the starting line up.

Let's see if he still has a starting berth come Arsenal before saying such things. [emoji1]

That is this forum for you. 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.

my issue wit him was his drunken shenanigans and how he appeared to not give a toss

if he sorts that and puts in max effort like today, no issues

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.

Someone was telling me Barkley isn't half the player Mount is. If Frank wasn't so biased he would've played him more.
