"You're the one for me, Barry"

it's possible we'll rue the decision to let Barry go. We are now missing a holding midfielder that can tackle.
Will Fernandinho step up or alternatively can Rodwell stay fit. Massive gamble by the club once again.

I don't think we had much choice to be honest. Yes, he's been great for us, but for the past 12 months a lot of his performances were starting to look pretty ragged if you ask me, with mistakes giving the ball away followed by fouls trying to get it back. He basically looked slower than before and he was never quick in the first place. This season was only going to get worse, accentuated Pellegrini wanting to play a high pressing line. It was never going to work.
 
I'll miss him. Underrated in a big way. Was great for us the season we won the league. Never really going to feature in a midfield pairing alongside Yaya, due to his lack of mobility, but will be a very useful player for Everton.

He's the sort of player who makes your team very difficult to beat, so he was very important in our transition from Top 5 to Top 2. His mentality was very good. His will to win was top notch, and he seems like a proper professional. He should still go to the World Cup if England are going to play with 3 in the middle, and i suspect this is the reason for the move.

Good luck to him. Everton have played a blinder with him and Lukaku.
 
Gutted Barry has left but it was going to happen one day

A faithful and capable servant for the club and a player who I have soundly backed in his time with us, a definite worker and a player who perhaps does not get the plaudits he deserves sometimes from the press...............

Good luck GazBaz
 
I like it Ric ... fitting tribute to our quiet champion. He'll be boss alongside McCarthy at Everton.
