You'll get slaughtered by some but I reckon Barry is nearing his expiry date and City see that by not offering him a new deal. The difference between Fernandinho and Barry is huge... Fernandinho plays with speed in his legs and speed in his mind and offers much more. However, Fernandinho isn't as disciplined which is why there is merit to the idea of replacing Barry with a more focused defensive midfielder. I won't have any objections if Barry stays, he can probably serve us well for the last year of his deal, but he (and Garcia) is one player we could replace to make our improving squad even better.
