Well, it's not really his call at this point

  • Doesn't want delay up to a year
  • Key to delay would be if we could terminate it earlier
  • Talks are taking place at pace with Labour party

In essence, the year-long delay wouldn't really matter because it is a 'flextension' as it could be terminated earlier if the UK finds a majority to ratify the Brexit deal. From that perspective, Barclay shouldn't be worried if the extension offered is a year or two months because if they have the means to get it done, the timing doesn't matter.
