Top notch player.

You can tell age is going to be a factor for him come 2 years time.

I think it already is a bit, his football brain is just so good he can compensate. May he thrive under Martinez!

Does anyone know how he'll be played? I understand Everton have played a back 4. Will he play alongside someone or as a sole holding mf? Will he get regular minutes?

Well written and I think reflective of how many of us has learned to appreciate Gareth over the years. I didn't like your picking on Garcia though, no place for that in this celebration of one of our most important players during these successful years.
 
Sorry to see him leave,how we can get rid of Barry and keep Garcia is beyond me. The last two summer transfer windows have been poor, losing three of our better players (De Jong,Barry,Tevez) and spending £150mil on average players.We have gone backwards since we won the title.
 
A real footballers footballer, and to think he's been been replaced with 30 million quids worth of talent ??? what a bargain he turned out to be, All the Best GB
 
Barry played a great role for us, he played with all the dignity he could maintain, he played as honestly as the game allowed, and he never embarrassed the club with his behaviour. I admire him very much and consider us lucky to have had such a dependable figure in our squad. I'm sure the thanks and best wishes of all go with him. An example.

Wayne7, if you are really in Australia then you are one of the people that a pundit (can't remember which one) was referring to, not in a derogatory way or being horrible, when they said if you only see the TV pictures you don't see the runs, the positional play and the reading of the game. When you are lucky enough to attend the match in person you see the contribution Gaz Baz makes.

If you can get the Blue Tuesday webcast from tonight and hear the tribute by Radio Manchester's Ian Cheeseman you will see what I mean. It was a great show.
 
The fact that Barry was allowed to leave on loan makes me even more certain that we are targeting profitability as soon as possible. I posted a topic a week or so ago saying we would make a profit this season and the huge cut in the wage bill that has been implemented isa big part of making it happen. Having him still on the books on big money when clearly Pellegrini had decided he wasn't going to play him was not an option.

What might upset some on here is that in the short to medium term we will have to accept that we will be competitve at the top of the Premiership and hopefully the CL too but world domination will have to go on the back burner.

Can we not just ban Wayne71... clearly a rag on the wind up, if not he should be embarrassed to call himself a blue... clueless twat
 
A very good article, though I agree the dig at Garcia was unnecessary.

Unless you actually go to matches, you will not have seen the work that Gareth Barry did for us.

Even though he was in the final year of his contract at Villa, the £12 million we paid for his services was a bargain, IMHO. Without him protecting the back four, I believe we would have won neither the FA Cup nor the Premier League.

Gareth was a model professional, who never moaned, but just got on with what he was good at.

Good luck for the rest of your career, Gareth, and thank you for all you did for Manchester City.
 
Thank you Gareth. It annoys me when you get fans of other clubs who slate him. He has been tremendous for city since he joined and had FA Cup and premier league winning medals to show for it. He reads the game very well and dictates the tempo. He deserves to be playing every week and doesn't appear to be in pellegrini's plans.

Good luck and thank you!
 
Good servant for the club very underrated as a footballer if he had pace would be worth a fortune, he had a good footballing brain and I hope he isn`t missed but I`m not to sure.
 
Yep, good luck to Gareth Barry. Total professional and at the price a bargain signing. I fear this loan/transfer is a mistake.

Thank god he is gone we need to be more dynamic in European games on a whole. Also in some of the bigger games at times he was shown up. He done well at the club and I was shocked to see him last for as long as he did. Different manager different style of play and different players.

I'll always remember a sky sport rag at work saying we'd never win anything with Gareth Barry in our team. This was the same bloke who insisted that Owen Hargreaves was a world beater when he joined that lot!

Self same daft rag tit got married the day we won the cup so I couldn't rub it in then cos I was on my way back from Wembley and his phone wasn't 'working'.
Twelve months later and boy did I let him have both barrels! His face was a picture, personally up there for me with that munter at Sunderland clapping until she found out Sergio had scored. He had no comeback whatsoever - pure gold!

A few have said on here that only fans of the clubs he's played for really appreciate him, and that's true. It also shows what a classless bunch of nobs the villa fans are in that they always booed him.

His performances were never back page headlines, but, I bet his average for City out of 10 overall would be 7.5 easily. Every team needs a Gareth Barry.

Wish he hadn't gone to that bunch of bin dippers though.

Good Luck to Gaz Baz.
 
A BIG THANKS Gareth Barry you in my opinion was one of our unsung hero,s never got the plaudits you deserved, sad to see you go and you served our club in the best possible manner. Best of luck in the future.
 
Looking at the Everton Forums they are not impressed.

Give it a month and the matchday goers will appreciate and adore him, the MOTD viewers will still hate him.

I've said it before he reminds of having internet security on a laptop. You think it's doing fuck all until you don't have it and everything goes tits up.
 
Mint post ric just want to ( and feel its my duty to add) when Garcia gets picked ahead of you fcuk this
And get off sadly for us right up there with Shauny for me and my lad let me tell you's<br /><br />-- Tue Sep 03, 2013 7:56 pm --<br /><br />
