He's a headless chicken and a defensive liability. Sell him.
He is the same player that he was two years ago and I can't see him becoming a better player than he is at the moment.
I'm lucky there aren't negative reputation points anymore.

No potential.
If you can't see the class Barkley has, then in the words of @Goat, football isn't for you.
I can remember people saying similar stuff about Daniel Cadamateri and Michael Branch. Maybe he will develop into a world beater, but at the moment he isn't very good at all, and we have more capable CM's and more capable second strikers at Everton, never mind elsewhere. I think we will hold Lukaku back if he has to rely on Barkley as a second striker.
He got into good striking positions yesterday, but his shooting was extremely poor. There are other players out there, who are within our budget, who would be testing the keeper at the very least given the position he was shooting from. We need that type of player imo, someone who can score and create from the number 10 position, or maybe from a bit further back in CM.
I'm serious. :/
Sell him before they realise he has no potential.

Eh? What, but.... Ah feck it, I give up!
It's just an opinion mate. One which refers to the fact that it wouldn't be the first time that a young player has been overhyped as being a world beater, only for them to end up playing football in the lower divisions. I'm not necessarily saying that this will happen to Barkley, but nobody would have said that it would happen to Francis Jeffers at one point either.
I am also questioning whether he should be in our first 11 at the moment. And I certainly don't accept that we couldn't sign anyone better than him to play in the number 10 or attacking midfield role.
If Barkley was put on the market for £25 million pound tomorrow, there would be interest but there would also be quite a bit of hesitation from the clubs that were interested. They wouldn't be snapping your hand off at all.
To be fair with the new TV money, clubs would be queuing if he was on sale for 25 million.
