Player Valuation: £70m
Most young player suffer with brittle confidence
In Barkleys case his confidence is based around everything he does on the pitch. He does something well his backers applaud him, he does something wrong the haters are on his back, and when this happens a couple of times you can see his confidence visibly shrink.
His haters need to realise he is a good player but he isn't a Pirlo or Innesta, if he was he wouldn't be with us.
Give the lad the same breaks as some of our under performing players get
Totally wrong. Nobody 'hates' him. And it's not his detractors that need to realise he's not Pirlo or Iniesta, it's those like Pabbers who blindly love him. They are the ones - along with Martinez who have put crazy unrealistic expectations on the lad.
