I disagree, if we could put Lukaku up top in this team we wouldn't miss him one bit. It's Lukaku and his directness, power and pace we are missing more than anything.

If you think back to our run from the New Year to April then Barkley was second only to Lukaku in influence. He's a top player on his game and a local lad, that he is looking at leaving is a travesty.
There's been loads of revisionism because he hasn't signed a new contract and looks to be leaving but it's daft to suggest he wouldn't walk into this team and make us better mate.

Rooney and Sigurdsson can all cover his role as a number 10, Rooney has shown vision and a range of passing in a couple of games this season I have never ever seen from Ross Barkley.
If he did play, he'd still need a top striker to pass to, which was the point I was making, we miss having a proven prem striker in the side, not Barkley.
Remember when we were on that terrible run last season with him starting every game?
We are also missing Barkley loads mate, it's mad to suggest otherwise. He would improve this first eleven loads.

A 4 month spell of decent form over 4 years is hardly something to write home about Chico, he's enigmatic at best. A luxury if you like.
I would of liked him to sign, but personally that's more to do with the local lad side of it than his influence on the pitch. Don't get me wrong, on his day he is top quality. But for me there hasn't been enough of those days to justify his wanting out to go and play in a better side.
At the end of the day, I'm not that arsed that he wants to leave. It's the way he's going about it that's getting on my wick.
Again mate it's silly to suggest that he's only performed for four months in four years. It's revisionism mate, may borne out of him wanting to leave us which I don't get too and it annoys me but his value to the team before and present cannot be played down because he will probably leave us. He improves this starting 11 easy, any day of the week. Come on.

We've got 4 number 10's mate, yet we never replaced Lukaku, amatuer hour was our transfer window, Lukaku should never have been allowed to leave without we had a replacement signed, just like what Arse did with Sanchez, they couldn't get a decent striker to replace him so he was not allowed to leave.

Exactly. If he plays it's the same, all attacking midfielders who are not the quickest, packed in cm.

Remember Koeman dropping him and us being even worse?
There's no pace with those attacking midfielders and they can't take on a man mate. Barkley played free role last season rather than attacking mid. I'd have him back in right now without a shadow of a doubt. Agreed on replacing Lukaku being a huge failure but Barkley leaving looks also a massive miss, there's no one to replace what he brings to the team.

We're doomed....................all doomed I tell ye !!
Spot on if he was just out injured now - the moaners on this thread would be agreeing in full how desperately we need him back if he had signed his contract!
We already miss him as he had been our one man midfield for two seasons!
Now with no goalscorer it's desperation!
If we continue in this vain bottom 7 is more likely than top 7 hope he still signs his contract!
I actually don't you know
