Sterling is about as Scott Sinclair as it's possible to be without actually being Scott Sinclair.
He's a knock and run merchant. There's not even a hint of bitterness as I say that either - I'll prove it; Suarez is legit world class and Sturridge is the real deal, and Henderson is a half decent box to box midfielder with a good level of athleticism, albeit not worth £20m.
Sterling is an exceptionally limited footballer. Barkley is, in all honesty, potentially one of the greatest footballers you'll ever see, whether that is with Everton or without. I personally have never seen anyone at his age do what he does since a at his peak Zidane. And he's twenty.
Don't get me wrong, I hope Barkley stays with us and realises his talent in a blue shirt, but even if he moved to the RS I'd acknowledge him as the single greatest talent England has produced in half a century. The only question mark about him is his mentality, and this season he's answered much of that anyway.
Mark my words, he could be a world cup winner in 2018 almost single-handedly. He's the English Pele/Maradona, and I pray it's with Everton.
