The lad had a blinder- top drawer

Great buy. His versatility will be very important to us and he could become a key player. I'm glad the England mistake did not seem to affect him and I really hope we see the consistency that has been mentioned.

 

[Mike 1990]

Our best buy of the summer IMO.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

MOTM. I said he's be our most iportant player this season cos we've really needed a player like him in the middle of the park, he was fucking brilliant, just tired a little near the end which is fair enough.

top draw game especially in the second half!

He played very well. I was abit worried with De Jong being left on the bench that we'd be abit light weight but that didn't seem to matter, Barry just broke up their play instead.

Thought he was outstanding yesterday.
Could not believe the report in the people this morning saying he had a shocker!

 

[Big Mac]

Thought he was very solid and composed,stood out for me along with Toure and Richards. Agree totally with the comments about being a good deal at £12 million. But I don't think we will ever get as good a deal as the £8mill we paid for Given.

Great performance from Barry....he was everywhere.

Then got home and read Ian Hughes report on BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8197359.stm....in particular "But once the dust had settled, Rovers hit back and began to run the midfield as Gareth Barry - another City debutant - struggled to cope as the only holding midfielder" and wondered if he was at the same game as me.
