I imagine he will be happy to have the opportunity for more playing time with the World Cup approaching. His league play the past few seasons was stellar, and did a great service for the club. I remember one of the Inside City's when Garcia was signed and Barry was coming back from injury. They were doing some training together, and Barry looked very sharp and could tell he wasn't going to give up his place without a fight. A good move for both club and player at the moment, I hate to see talent go wasted on the bench since we also have Rodwell looking for minutes.
