Looks miserable. Those expressions 
The whole video is him saying “ffs what am I doing here?!” without actually saying it.

Everton toffees, Chelsea buns, Nice Biscuits. I'm surprised he didn't sign for Dundee.
Worst body language at a new club since Scamacca had to be virtually manhandled onto the pitch for his West Ham debut.

Maybe a decent signing 5 years ago. He's been awful the last few seasons. Did nothing at Chelsea and by all accounts was pretty rubbish at Nice last season.
Seems like a Lingard to Forest type signing

A proper statement signing for Luton, didn't think they'd be able to attract players of Barkley's quality and stature.

Just turned 30. A few more years in him yet. Not a dressing room leader by any stretch of the imagination but he is playing well and has some top level quality.
If Lallana hangs his boots up next summer, we could do worse than replace him with this other ex-England international.

I thought he might be worth a punt (said he might be on here, but was shouted down) - wouldn't have been the worst free-signing the world has ever seen. As a stop gap for injuries coming back and youngsters coming up to scratch might have been well on a par with Dahoud (so far anyway).
He used to be more attacking but these days sits in that deeper role where we are most lacking in the short term. If he can prove his fitness (that’s the biggest issue) it is a good shout for next Summer Or January for a million quid on an 18 month deal.

I’m guessing at his age he wants play football not sit on a bench waiting for injuries to happen. He gets that at Luton he wouldn’t here next season.

I thought he was brilliant against Arsenal in midweek, pure class.
I've only seen the highlights V Man City, but the turn and layoff which helped set up the Luton goal was excellent.
However, for the first Man City goal he was nowhere, not tracking back to help the defence. Of course that was never his strong point.
Maybe it was just tiredness, not being able to do 2 full games in 4 days.
But on the bits I have seen of him this season, I think he would have offered us more than Dahoud has done so far.
Ends end of Jan they said on TNT
He would be ideal for us . It’s a realistic signing too

Not sure he’d leave Luton mid season but he is just what we need and I’ve thought it all season when I’ve watched them…
