I think he'll always be a nearly man, he wobbles between useless and overconfident... He looks out of place among world class players, like he feels he shouldn't be there, self-conscious and clumsy most of the time, the lad needs to chill cuz he clearly has some skills... I think it's a mental thing with him...

Not going to be a problem at Villa (Grealish apart, obvs).

Little harsh, but I understand the frustration. Feels like Villa is a good fit. I think he has world class ability, but as I say his decision making and focus can be found wanting and that keeps him from being a true top level player. I don't know whether that's something you can improve (feels like it should be) but hopefully it goes well for him at villa. I always liked him and was disappointed when he left.

Barkley's got bags of ability but decision making was always the worst thing about his game. Playing without crowds is probably the best thing that could happen to him, he never looked like he could handle the groans of the Evertonians when he made a mistake (and we are shite for that).
