Useful as what? He isn't remotely capable of doing any of the jobs those three provide.
No player can replace Yaya.
He might be good enough to replace Gundogan & Fernandinho.

I can't believe the numbers of people saying we should sign him. Simply speaking he will never be good enough as a no10 or AM to hold a place in our team. This below sums it up well. We should stay well clear.

Until they are 22 they aren't going to fill our HG quotas.
Physical presence and aerial ability.I would rather give the minutes to one of talented advanced play makers we already have.
What does Barkley offer that isn't bettered by Fodan or Diaz?
How? He's not remotely the same kind of player as either. He's an attacking midfielder who's main skill is that he's a big strong, powerful runner with an occasional decent shot on him. He's not a defensive midfielder or a pivot, nor does he have the skillset to become either of those things.No player can replace Yaya.

Just because Barkley is available it doesn't mean we should be in the market for him. Why should we buy him when he really isn't that good; it makes no sense.Physical presence and aerial ability.
I reckon he wouldn't be a competitor to them at all. He'd be trained as six where we have a huge hole currently - 2 players, one of which is too old and immobile (Yaya), another isn't really suited to position (Dinho). Both have 1-year contracts and will be gone next summer. Even if we're going to buy Weigl or Goretzka next summer, another player is needed as squad option.
Saying that, I don't see any signs of Pep being interested.

Seriously not sure what player other people are watching if they think he's a replacement for Fernandinho
