I don't think Barry is a shit player but I don't see how much better he can get. Personally I think it's in his head, he just doesn't seem to have the drive for example Carlos, Bellamy or other winners has. When he loose a ball he doesn't seem to care that much. He seems as shy on the pitch as he is in the interviews. He had a great season in Aston Villa but just look at what happened with Stevie (which I hope will come good) this season after his great last year.
When are people expecting Barry to get a rest? In the summer, during World Cup? ....
Barry is a good player but I don't see him as a great one. I'm a City fan and I'll support him no matter what in the matches, but a part of me hopes we'll find a better midfielder next season (if we reach CL that is, Barry is absolutely top-6 material but we want to reach further than that).
How on earth can you say he doesn't care that much if he loses the ball? Because he doesn't start having a dickie fit, shouting and swearing like some of them do?
Barry gets on with his job quietly but effectively and very often his hard work gets over looked. Granted he's not the fastest of players but what he does, he does well.

To say barry doesnt give a shit is stupid. He might not fly about the pitch doing hero tackles but he always works hard to win the ball back and does get quite animated, he probaly swears at the ref as much as bellamy, you should try watching a player before making stupid comments about him.
With another quality midfielder in there he'll be a great defensive midfielder.
