Ross Barkley

I have no time for Sterling but in that crazy season the RS had with the Uruguayan rat leading the line Sterling was excellent. He had real quality in his output and often led breakaway for Sturridge and Suarez to finish off. If only for the one season he had achieved something that Barkley hasn't yet.

I'd swap Barkley for Sterling tomorrow.
It's funny how last year sterling wasn't quite as good and was very poor the last 3months
With no sturidge Suarez and a finished Gerard

And this year he's surrounded by world class talent even though his goals and assist tally isn't much different to Barkley so far

I'm not saying Sterling isn't a good player, but other than pace I really don't see what he offers.

He's good on the ball and a decent finisher, and is good at getting himself in goalscoring positions (his pace is the major factor in this) and he can stretch opposition defences. But he's not a particularly strong passer and he often runs himself down blind-alleys.

Barkley, while his decision making is probably not there yet, has the attributes to be a better player IMO.

Thing with Sterling is he peaked early on.... We are still waiting on Ross.... However it is entirely possible Sterling can progress even further and be better than Ross when they are at their best..... But you can't really compare as their roles are so different... Sterling doesn't need the passing game, he is the one people should pass to

Disagree here mate. Forget armchair Fifa 16 pundits but both Sterling and Barkley both play subordinate attacking roles linking the core midfield defence/ball winners to the main striker. Both need to pass and be effective decision makers. Don't they?
