He recovered from his injury in time to join the first team for pre-season training before the beginning of 2011–12. He made his debut in Everton's first game of the season, a 1–0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, and was named man of the match by Radio City Sport.[4] His early performances were highly praised, with Martin Keown predicting that "[Barkley will] be one of the best players we'll ever see in this country."[5]
bloody hell that must have been such a performance in a match they still lost to be treated like he is the new bobby charlton.

Seems he's an up and coming player whom a lot of people respect. Since he hasn't actually been sold for 25m or any other price yet this thread seems premature.

It's almost like his agent planted this ridiculous story in the press to get people talking.
If he ends up beating Jack Wilshere to the Ballon D'Or in 2015 then it will be hilarious obviously.
