Hafnia Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) City fans I know like him. Very underrated player, turns the ball over and distributes well. Run all day, just not pacey. This wasn't too far wrong... Edited December 3, 2013 by Hafnia Matt and SimonButtle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I dont think he is as bad as people make about but the truth is that he isnt good enough for a club like City or indeed England. He will give us more depth in a weak area and he will be a useful stop gap until we can get in a suitable replacement when we finally have some money to play with.

Steve_E Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 He'll be a solid starter for us this season if we do get him. The BT Sports commentator during the Manchester City-Hull game said he's hearing Barry to Everton is happening as well. A Barry-McCarthy-Barkley midfield with Osman and Gibson on the bench will do for me this season. SimonButtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 He'll be a solid starter He'll be that solid it will look like he's hardly moving...... Romey 1878, Quinn31, Pearso and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Having Barry clogging things up allows Felli more freedom to run. Osman, being there now, can't be relied upon to break up play. Barry can. This will allow our midfield to flow offensively a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Barry would be rotated with Gibson, surely not a replacement for Felli. Imagine Barry and Gibson in the middle for us, boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smodger Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Why are we waiting for the last minute to sell felli and get Barry on loan I hope martinez has something up his sleeve cos im worried now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msloan78 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Spoke to a City fan earlier and he reckons the Barry deal is pretty much done. Apparently Barry was given the choice of a seasons loan with City paying 40% of his wages or a release with a £1.5m pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'll worry about Barry when I see him with an Everton shirt on his back. I never take notice of itk's, as for every one they get right, they get loads wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Spoke to a City fan earlier and he reckons the Barry deal is pretty much done. Apparently Barry was given the choice of a seasons loan with City paying 40% of his wages or a release with a £1.5m pay off. Even with 40% off his wages, he'd still be at 75k/week. Just not worth it.

Louis Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Gareth Barry was signed on Sunday on a season-long loan after Manchester City agreed to pick up a large proportion of his £120k a week wage http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/01/cardiff-city-everton-premier-league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Barry similar to Gibson in style of play? Slower, older and doesn't have the passing range that Gibson has (IMO).

Peter H Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Slower, older and doesn't have the passing range that Gibson has (IMO). Slightly unfair. Barry is a good passer of the ball, runs a lot in every game (but not so fast) And yes, he is older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Some reports saying it'll be a permanent deal for between £2m and £3m. I'll be even more pissed if we buy him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm beginning to question why we our linked with all of these 30+ year olds. I thought the intention would be to bring down the average age of the team. He has a year left on his contract. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 A free transfer or a loan only. I recall a certain Gary Mcallister signing for Liverpool on a free and being a great signing. Age isn't the issue, using transfer money would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efc1111 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 A sudden flurry of comments on Twitter saying this move is looking unlikely now, possibly because of a similar flurry reporting that we want Fernando from Porto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I can see it now - 10.59 Fellaini moves to Manchester United, Gareth Barry moves to Everton on a 5 year deal for £3million. :major overreaction alert: Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
