Can we afford to let Barry go?

[We're not really here]

It would be fucking madness.

I wouldn't loan anyone to Everton after their behaviour over the years

He is going nowhere. Trust me

He wasn't up to much last year, a lot of poor performances compared to the title winning season (to be fair, not really helped by Yaya reduced workrate). We have more than enough people who can play in CM at the moment, so I think we'll be alright. We'd have to lose 3 or 4 players in the same position to be exposed and can't see that happening.

Unless we have a replacement lined up I do think its a risk,we are hardly inundated with players of his skillset.in our current set up I'd actually play him in preference to yaya,Barry provides much more solidity and reliability which would allow Ferdy to play his game with more freedom.

Barry's still more than useful for the majority of domestic games if not the quicker, more technical Champions League. Can't believe we're letting him go and potentially paying him to leave or paying some of his wages for a loan in his last year of contract. Madness.

Goal: City are willing to hand Barry a £1.5m pay-off if he leaves on a permanent deal or will pay up to 40% of his wages if he goes on loan.

for European competition, i don't really rate Barry, but he can still do a job in most Premier League games. we can't rely to unreliable Garcia and injury prone Rodwell. Fernandinho needs to rotate with Yaya, they are similar box-to-box type player. we needs achorman to protect back 4 since our side back is going forward a lot.

i'm not his avid fan, but he deserve to stay for one more season in last year of his contract. same goes for Lescott. hopefully MP and Txiki will see this.

Hugely disagree, he was pivotal in most of our terrible games last year. He helped us tick in a decent amount of games, but he was nowhere near as reliable as he was the year before. If he hadn't already built up so much respect from our fans then he would have been slaughtered for some of his performances last year
