Gareth Barry - £18 million

What a waste of money, average player, slow, no flair, side to side passing, boring and never an England International in a 1000 years. Utter gash and 18 million is a piss take, Villa must be laughing all the way to the Bank

 

Try £12 million.....

But i agree

 

RE: Try £12 million.....

thought it was 18, but 12 still too much, why did they not sell to liverpool for 18, 6 months before, even more money for /poo

 

He's in there to protect the back four and allow the flair players licence to roam and do the match winning stuff.

 

Oh ar - complete coincidence that he starts playing regularly for England...

...and we have one of the best spells for a good 15 years.

Also, both Villa and Man City challenge for the top 4 with him as the first name on the team sheet.

Coincidence, obviously.

 

was amazing about 4 years ago for villa !
