I've been watching Everton a bit this season and in particular Barry, of whom I'm a huge fan.
This isn't a thread cricising Pellegrini, as I really like him and think he's improved things,
but I want to know why the club decided we'd loan Gareth but keep Javi?

Barry's passing is far more varied and he can make penetrative balls through,
whereas Garcia cannot and passes from side to side.
Their pace is similar - next to none, but Barry reads the game much better and
get's into positions early so his pace isn't too much of an issue.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently (I know I should be just enjoying
our form!) and I want to know what other blues think?

I personally think it was a terrible decision, as was selling Suarez. The good news
is the rest of our transfer market, Jovetic aside, was fantastic.

I think it was a poor decision. Perhaps it was down to wages?
 
We are above them in the league, we have beaten them at home, we are in the semi finals of the Carling Cup, they arent, we are in the knock out phase of the champions league, they are not.

All managers make calls on players, Pellegrini has done so here and so far, our form and results tend to back his calls up.

Im no fan of Garcia although he has played a hell of a lot better this last few games.

World Cup year and Barry wanted a starting role rather than sub and rotation apperances ala Garcia?
Barry would have had plenty of games IMO,
We're in 4 competitions and Garcia gets to play every week.
Barry would have featured more than Garcia has I think once the gaffer
had seen his good work.
 
He is a very good player, but was on big wages and was not playing. Everton offered to pay his wages. We cannot pick who other teams are willing to pay for. Good look to him, he has taken his new chance. Just hope he hurts some of our opposition.
 
Be back shortly going to find a brick wall to head butt for several minutes. He has gone he wanted regular first team football and we could not offer that.
 
No club would ever pay what we'd like for Garcia and even less would pay his wages on a loan. Instead, Barry prefered to not be backup and Everton offered us to pay all his wages. Plus, Garcia can play defender and that has helped us this season when we had injuries.

Plus, it would be completely mental to pay Barry £90k a week to sit on the bench. We weren't gonna extend his contract and he'd be off anyway without us getting paid. With Garcia, we might at least be able to get some money if he is to leave, though he is on similar wages as Barry.
