Can we afford to let Barry go?

Good decision by the club IMO. Barry will play week in week out at Everton, whereas at City he'd have played very few games. With a year left on his contract and no prospect of him getting a new one, better he should go out and play football than sit on his arse at City for a year collecting a wage and playing maybe 10 games depending on injuries. He can't play against us so we don't have that to contend with. I suspect City held out for whatever deal they wanted on the loan and Everton waited until they had the United money. Barry gets regular football at a top 6 club in a world cup year.

From a squad point of view, I really don't see why we need a purely defensive midfield player with as little pace, energy and stamina as him when we've got Rodwell, Fernandinho, Yaya, and hopefully we'll see Milner given a chance there.

I actually agree with a lot of the people who say he's been brilliant for us. He was instrumental in both the FA Cup winning and League winning team. Proper champion and deserves his medals. Certainly goes with my best wishes.
 
Will miss you Gaz, a true pro and your career deserved a Premier League medal. Hope you do well at Everton and earn your place at the world cup. Bang one in against Utd mate you know you wanna ;)

IF pellers changes his system then I agree but playing a flat 4 in midfield with yaya and ferd central will cost us unless ferd is told to be the holding player and is disciplined in doing so.......but its against his nature to be completely holding...

I agree milner or rodwell could do that defensive midfield job.....BUT the question is, is this is what Pellers is going to do....continue with the 4 in midfield and we will struggle to get top 2-3
 
Always expected his depature the moment Pelligrini got the job,. Sad day for me always held him in high regard, good player did the unappreciated stuff excellently.

I genuinely feel sorry for people who can't see how good a player Barry is/has been. The fact David Silva voted him player of the season the year we won the title says it all for me.

Absolutely gutted he's gone. Thanks for the memories Gareth, you were worth every penny.

There will be certain times / games this season when we'll miss him. Let's just hope they're not critical.

Good luck Gaz Baz.
