I’m a fan of the boy. But it’s weird how uncomfortable he is infront of goal for a striker.

Finishes a bit like Bernie Wright !!
Would be good if he scored goals.
But he doesn't, so he isn't.

A striker who doesn’t score.

I reckon what really helps him is people comparing him to Kane and Shearer. This is the sort of nonsense that piles pressure on him.
Let him develop his game. But let that be at Crewe or something. He has no place in our team.

He’s not premierleague quality. Not remotely close. He wouldn’t get in any other side below us, why on earth we keep these average players on our books.
I look forward to him turning 22 so you can all stop bleating on about his "potential" and face the reality of what is just a striker who isn't capable of scoring consistently at this level.

Although there is the odd exception - most top strikers scored goals from the off during their career. In fact I would suggest they are better when they are younger as they have no fear - god help Calvert Lewin hell be a 3 goal a season man when hes no longer a youngster!

LOL. Barkley is in his mid-20s and still considered potential.

Oh yes, and if he had 4 more goals he would practically have 1 in 2.5! And if he had 6 more goals, he would practically have 1 in 2! And if he had 16 more goals, he would practically have 1 in 1!
But he doesnt have more goals, because he missed them from 2 feet away.
So again, after saying that he ALREADY has a good scoring record, you argue that "well, he WOULD have one if he had just scored more goals"...
His pace isn't an issue though.
It's general composure/timing.
There's no need for a loan.
He's more than good enough to be our third-choice forward. He's earned that right with his work this season.
If some of our senior, more talented individuals had DCL's attitude, we wouldn't be as crap as we are.
I rarely defend @Zatara's wild theories but in this case, it's not like it's ridiculous to say DCL should have two more goals this season.
I can think of two sitters off the top of my head he's missed - the other day and the one that Tosun eventually scored from v Stoke.
Nobody is saying the lad's brilliant. But the stick he gets on here from posters who for some reason have turned into bad FIFA biffs overnight once we got some money is ridiculous.
One of the only players to come out of this season with any modicum of self-respect.
He has to improve. But he hasn't done bad.
Solanke hasn't scored a goal for the Sh*** this season yet - and while this is the cultish behaviour we mock them for - you don't see them slating him at every opportunity.
We're the polar opposite with DCL, who has been chucked into leading our line for the majority of the season after our failure to replace the £90m, 25-goal-per-season striker we sold last summer, and has had to do it with players supporting him that simply couldn't be arsed for the vast majority. Throw into that under three pretty clueless managers and playing in a variety of positions - hardly ever the same position 3 games running either.
He's not done bad, all things considered.
