Interesting to see how he does against Blackpool and Boro this week. Those teams are a lot stronger than the league one quality of Ipswich and Peterborough.
Unless we run in to a crisis I think he should stay there a full season to get a true feel for the demands of being a starter and what's required to remain one.

Really want Barkley to live up for the hype so much, because if he does this lad won't leave. Know a lad who knows him and he told him he wouldn't leave the club for nobody, imagine if he lives up to the hype with that loyalty though?
I want him to be like a ''Gerrard'' for us and play in that role and I think he could do it, he's handling well in the Championship already and he's only 18 and he's going to improve a hell of a lot. So much potential and hype, hope he lives us to it, I love him already ffs

Just here to answer some of your questions and stuff.
I like the Taraabt comparison, perhaps not as direct or skillful when running with the ball, but he hangs over the ball similarly and drops his shoulder, very difficult to mark and tackle, the ball is always under control and sticks to him.
I would love a season long loan deal, can't see it happening though. The way he's coming alon he's just too good for this division, he started slowly but now he's really showing what he's capable of. I can't see why he couldn't start for you lot now, he is that good. However, perhaps scoring goals and being a key figure in a Championship side will do wonders for his development. Look at Wilshere at Bolton and Cleverley at Watford there confidence was sky high and they were playing really well. You can tell the confidence he's got on the ball, he's not afraid to try anything, and it more or less comes off every time. If he stays with is for the season he'll probably go back to Everton as a more rounded player.
He tracks back, he's not weak defensively, he has made a few crunching challenges. Not afraid to get stuck in, like I've said before he's showing all the attributes of a complete midfielder.
He's improving with every game, he is the centre if our creativity at the moment, Barkley and Bothroyd are a joy to watch at times clearly two players who have real quality and they bounce off eachother, therefore doubt he'd look out of place in your starting 11. Our captain Jose Semedo has said he's one of the most talented players he's played with, and he's played with Cristiano Ronaldo!
We're on Sky Friday night against Middlsborough so tune in and have a look at him yourselves. Playing Blackpool tomorrow night, I'll come here and tell you all how he did.

He'll be with you until at least January, unless we have a real run of injuries. There's no reason for us to bring him back. Moyes won't play him.
I'd be surprised if he wasn't with you for the whole season. And it's a good thing, especially as my fears about you using him as a defensive player to survive in the division, killing all of his natural flair, haven't come to fruition at all.

Yeah but the last three games, where he's really taken off, have been against Leeds, Ipswich and Peterborough. Those are weak even for championship teams, (though yes leeds beat us) two of them are likely to be league one next year.
I'd rather see how he does against the best of your league before we try him in ours.

Leeds beat us mate, they've got a strong chance of promotion. Be interesting to see how he does against boro and blackpool like
At home against leeds isn't the same as away against Boro. That will be a big game for him.

Too right, looking forward to watching it in all honesty. Be good to see how he does against Blackpool too, they again beat us even if it was only pre season! Both good championship sides and will give us an indication as to how he's doing

Have Blackpool not been poor recently? He will certainly get space though from the little I've seen of Blackpool.

I'd rather just dwell on the positives, they vastly outweigh the negatives. The kid is clearly mustard
No mustard is the RB
Boro are 2nd and Blackpool are 16th right now.
Leeds are 12th, peteborough 22nd and Ipswich 24th.
