All this 'Barkley walks into our team'
The 2017 one does, but then he wouldn't ahead of the 2017 Dele Alli who was scoring 18 league goals then.
Now, I'd rather Alli or Iwobi in the number 10 role.
Barkley would be a bad mistake from Lampard and Thelwell, they'd lose a lot of goodwill.
Also not convinced with the plaudits on Billy Gilmour. Admittedly haven't seen him play a lot, but when I have he's not looked great.
I'm not sure at all he walks into the first team. He sits on the bench ahead of Gomes or Gbamin, but I really think we need to aspire for a bit more than that.
If it's say Barkley in, Gomes out, then yes I accept that the squad is slightly stronger. But it's hardly a significant improvement worth shouting about
