[HelloCity]

Great article on the official site based on comments from Brian Marwood.

This is just a part of it:

“We were in a car going to the medical and we had TalkSport on and people were absolutely slaughtering Gareth (for) choosing Manchester City over Liverpool.

“It was: "He's only gone for the money and he's no ambition" and "Who are Man Citycompared to Liverpool?"

“And I remember saying: "You want to turn this off" and Gareth said: "No, I want to listen to this."

“I said: "Why do you want to listen to this?"

He said: "Because I'm going to prove these people wrong."

He said: "Actually, Liverpool are offering me more money, but I want to come here because you've sold me about a vision, you've sold me about trying to create history.

“So, I'm really determined to make this work."

Didn't David Silva once say that Gareth barry was one of his favourite players to play with.

Top man Gaz. Didn't work out too bad did it

Sold too early.

Quality player and hugely underrated by many.

Yes, at the end of the Aguerooo season Silva commented that Barry had been one of the key players in the team.

Of all the signings who have played in that role over the last 12 years, I’d only have Fernandinho ahead of him.

That is bang on the money. Tbh before he came to us I was of the same opinion, but that soon changed after a couple of games. I don't think I have ever seen another player read a game as well as Barry. I loved him a City, Sadly Pellers couldn't see how good Barry was.
