Former England coach Roy Hodgson fears for the career of Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
Barkley's future is uncertain after a contract dispute and a summer of recruitment by Everton.
Potential interest from Tottenham and Chelsea has yet to develop and Hodgson said: "Players with special talent will divide opinion.
"If Ross can find a club where people believe in him as much as we did in the England set-up he will do well.
"With us he faced strict competition, he didn't not play because we didn't think he was good enough.
"He's a risky passer, a midfielder who will turn with the ball, take players on and attempt a shot from 20 yards."
Asked if Barkley was in danger of becoming a lost talent, Hodgson said: "Yes he is, because of the pressures we put on people. All of us, coaches, journalists and fans are intolerant of bad games and mistakes.
"He's definitely a talent. He'll win some games for his club and for England, too."
