Stubbs: Barkley best at Everton since Man Utd striker Rooney


Everton reserves coach Alan Stubbs rates Ross Barkley their best talent sinceWayne Rooney, now ofManchester United.
Stubbs, who acknowledged that David Moyes would have preferred to bring in more competition to his squad this summer, said Barkley is a major positive.
He told the Liverpool Echo: “We don’t want to put pressure on Ross, but we’re all very excited by him. He’s had a horrendous 18 months; he’s had a double leg fracture, a double hernia and a metatarsal injury in that time but he’s got potential to be very good.
“He’s the most exciting probably since Wayne that has come through. I don’t want to put too much on his shoulders but that’s how highly we rate him. Hopefully he can have a little bit of luck now and steer clear of injury and he could be very, very good.”
