Lousy. But Barkley can't do what Mousa does. Literally no one in Europe can. There is no other player on Earth that combines Dembele's strength, dribbling, and passing with that defending.Or I'd see him more likely developing into a CM driving us forward like Dembele does. How's his injury history?
Barkley does not have those tools either. If we're talking about a non-Dembele midfield , you're talking, by necessity, about a different kind of player. And if so, do you rate Barkley above Winks as that guy? I sure as hell don't.
