Gareth Barry

I didn't think Fernandinho did that much in the first half except be nice and tidy, but you could see when Barry came on we lacked that edge in midfield that Fernandinho gave us.

SO, I take it you didn't see the first time, defence splitting pass, over the top, on the run, to Micah for his goal?

Pass of the season so far!

Barry is a great squad player to have . Look at how he played against united away !

So over the course of a summer he has gone from one of our most important players to past it?

Hmm not so sure, think he will be an important back up this season. (Plus he can play emergency left back its where he started his career)

I cant see the point in selling him we would get a couple of million max, might aswell keep him for the next 12months it will be more worthwhile than a million quid or two

I like Barry. He is an extremely intelligent footballer. He knows the game and the league inside out. Time for him to go? No way.
It was only what? 6/7 games ago he over ran United's midfield, he was class. Let's not forget United's midfield that day included Michael 'Pirlo' Carrick.

Barry would sit perfectly between Ya Ya & Fernandinho as the holding player. He screens the back 4 excellently and rarely looks slow in his stronger position of 'anchor man'.

I would also much rather have Barry as an emergency centre half, far superior to Garcia. Let's not forget he made his name as a talented centre half.

Barry is a must for next season.

I'd keep Barry as cover for Clichy and get rid of Kolarov.

You really are a spacecadet.

Barry isn't particularly fast, we all know that.
But I think some on here decry him for that a bit too much.
He covers the ground fast enough when there is a challenge to be made.
He only lacks a certain amount of pace when he has to turn due to ball in behind. This mainly happens due to poor pass from us.
Most times his experience puts him in the correct position.

I think the get rid comments on here are because we now have some nice
new shiny players. I think Barry deserves a bit more respect than that.

Couldn't agree more. There's a reason why managers love Barry and that's because he is very good at his job. While I don't think we should offer him a new deal, he's still comfortably good enough to play against most Premier League teams and his experience will prove useful this season.

Barry knows that he will not be in our strongest eleven this season but he will give his all when called upon......he will be a valued squad member for his final season.

i'm not his fan, but Barry deserve to stay for his last season. Garcia and Rodwell might be learn something. same goes for Lescott.
