I think the manager wants to spread goals more evenly throughout the team next season.See the post below yours by @Bally8.
We better enjoy the Europa League this season as it may be our last for a while I am afraid.
Naturally, I hope I am wrong.
I think he was expecting more goals from Barkley last season and one of the reasons he does not have great belief in Barkley is because he doesn't think he will ever deliver lots of goals.
I think he is possibly hoping for ten goals plus from Klaasen, Sandro, Rooney? and maybe even Sigurdsson if he is signed. Mirallas will be expected to chip in and Bolasie when he gets back.
Last season we were one injury away from being in big trouble up front and it looks to me as if the manager is trying to sign players to share out the goals.
Of course the signing of Rooney looks a possibility, the signing of Sigurdsson is still paper talk only
