Barkley on the spot for Owls

To me, Barkley can do that month, but then he might as well come back to us. His fitness will have become a little better, but his skills will stay the same.

I can not imagine why Moyes chose Sheffield Wednesday for Barkley. They have a decent couple of strikers but that is it. Today, Barkley was hardly allowed the ball, probably because he is off the pace at the moment.

If Barkley is lacking this much in match fitness then how is Junior doing???? Junior right now is in front of Barkley, but we have not even seen Junior on the bench since he came back from injury.

"Our only real quality player."

"Superb today and was on a different wavelength to everyone else."

"He'll turn out to be a world class player IMO."

"Looks too good to be playing alongside half the mongs in our team. Bet he's counting down the days till he's back home to Everton."

Barkley was out of shape but he had some decent attempts in his passing, while the rest of the midfield was much more less direct then Barkley.

I just think Barkley is a bad fit for the "Owls"; too much responsibility to carry the midfield on his own. Also, he should have played further forward since they were at their home ground.

Barkley will, as I said, get his match fitness back, but I doubt he will come away from there a better player; the rest of the team is too weak.

I really hope Moyes will recall him after his month is up, Barkley should be playing for Wolves, Bolton or Blackburn — there he will have real competition for places.

Good to see Barkley take that penalty, he needed that goal I think.

Did anyone else watch the game and do you also think that Barkley is too good to stay there?

You Kenwright luvver you! Getting the excuses in early. Please get back to posting about Moyes, "Is he or isn't he" or about Coleman and Duffy being defensive lynchpins.

Of course they do nothing right. Or could it be that you are a bit of a nutter?

Very confident.

Nice one, I believe that too. Well, Barkley himself agreed to that loan-deal as well. He's got his talents, no wonder he's coming back to us stronger, still building up his muscles and getting experience, he's still young and maturing in the right direction.
