Comments for Gareth Barry unhappy and I'd score in Scotland and League One, does that mean I can take the step up? at http://www.thevillablog.co.uk , comment 1 to 242 out of 20 comments http://www.thevillablog.co.uk Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:46:21 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-67782 Would I have Barry back???.......hhhmmmm hard one because at the moment who would you drop?..... Having barry would mean milner playing wide again or the loss of petrov!!..... because you will have Young, Barry, Petrov, Milner or Young, Barry, Milner, Downing..... but after what he did to us..... like i will leave for Champs league, so i join City.... Im sorry did he mean Chumps league because thats what he is..... a chump! - Villa4life Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:57:40 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66239 to be honest, i think reo coker gets overlooked. he is strong, fast and a really good defensive midfield option against the bigger clubs like chelsea, pool and united. works his socks off and closes down their attacking threats. gareth is not that player. he would be back up for petrov really and thats it. in my mind, taking a punt on boyd would be worthwhile (hell, its only the winnings from the peace cup we'd be throwing away if it doesnt work out), and getting in an attacking midfielder like steven ireland would be nice. provides more intricacy. also like the comment about trying to lure santa cruz away from city.. but i think we should offload heskey to make room for him. - michaeln Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:42:39 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66238 I'd take Barry back. Him and Milner in midfield would be great. As for Boyd, no chance, I've seen him live and he's rubbish. Kenny Miller take's the piss in Scotland and he's shite. - Sasa Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:36:34 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66223 i`d take barry back but would have to warm the bench and wait for his chance. Bought him back on fifa :D - EEL Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:51:26 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66145 [quote]san marino type teams[/quote] I think it says a lot that he plays for one and still scores.;D - John Samuels Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:19:38 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66136 Why not have Barry back lets face it petrov blows hot and cold get rid of Heskey and Carew they should be workin on weston beach Sidwell isnt gettin a sniff not that his all that anyway and Reo-Coker who knows whats goin on there after the lovers tiff.Defence is sorted Ashley Young and Downing, Milner,Barry sounds good gabby up front with a more experienced forward thats where the money should go and i dont think Kris Boyd is the way to go scotish league is a different ball game all together just my opion - Paul down under Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:46:20 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66110 I hate to say this but I think he could be the answer to replacing Petrov in midfield, but only if we get him for no more than £6m! Although Petrov is playing well this season he still has the odd lapse in concentration and prone to mistakes. At least with Barry he is steady and always delivered for the Villa which could make him the ideal partner for Mr Milner! My guess is that if he does leave then he'll be off to Spurs or Liverpool and we should then put in a £20m bid for Steven Gerrard just to annoy rafa! - Bird Thu, 07 Jan 2010 11:39:34 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66074 I will also say that there is a gerneral consensus(Excluding villa fans)0 that GB has played quite well for Man City including under Mancini e.g. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6968296.ece It may not be rose tinted glasses we're looking through, but those a shade of green. - Magicnick Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:22:15 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66072 Damien - where did you here about GB being unhappy, I haven't heard a thing, can't see it in any papers yet. Just curious. - Magicnick Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:18:34 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66036 [quote] Lots of questions.Any answers??? [/quote] BARRY is a judas and he sold us out, because of us he is an ENGLAND regular, because of us is he regarding as one of the best in his position and what did he do to us in return ??? LET HIM ROT HE MADE HIS BED NOW HE CAN LIE IN IT !!!!! - Andi Thu, 07 Jan 2010 09:11:15 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66027 Daily Star also saying we can have Bentley On the Barry issue we have got to take into account the psychology of it re the other players and also Barry's attitude.Barry would have to become a support player,filling in as reqired,even in his old positions of left back and central defender. What about his current salary of £90000.Would he be prepared to give that up for 4 years???How would Petrov feel with his position under threat as the one 'slower'player we can afford in midfield??Lots of questions.Any answers??? - Oldfart Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:56:14 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66026 Not sure about GB, not sure he'd come back anyway but alot of you seem to suggest he would be better than Coker or Sidwell... Of course he would but he wouldn't be happy replacing them on the bench! Then it comes down to a straight shoot out between him and Petrov for me. Not sure there's a lot to choose betwwen them but MON would prob play them both and we end up with the same midfield pairing as last season and would not have progressed. Attacking Midfielder and a striker with good control and can finish! - Chris Parry Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:32:33 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66025 Carew to spuds ??? Carew London strip bars the man will love it - Andi Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:31:33 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66024 Carew always gets itchy feet the guy has had millions of clubs over the years, would be a shame for him to go but he is hardly prolific infront of goal and if we can replace him with better of different then i dont see a issue, its just a shame he is a fans favourite - Andi Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:30:30 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66023 i wouldn't have thought MON would potentially strengthen a top 4 rival to land his player. Harry also has crouch which is a similar type of player to carew - and what about Pav? he doesnt play him. - heskeyshead Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:29:56 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66022 Last year keane was worth £18mill and thought to be more valuable than Barry ;D Gareth will bring more to our squad than Keane. I'd take a short term punt on Boyd. We didn't lose much on Maloney. Keane is over the top. - neil bangor Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:22:54 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66021 Daily Star are saying we can have Keane for 5 mil +Carew.Doesn't seem a good deal to me.What is Carew's agent up to??? so much for loyalty - Tim Mason Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:09:14 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66020 I am pleased to see lots agree with me,eg Fastback,Dan,Frem,AK,JPA etc. Gareth Barry brings the Je ne sais quoi to us. That little extra which will spur us on. Would he not be an improvement on NRC and Sidders? Of course he would. If he and his family like Henley-in-Arden,where else would he go? Even with the money,he wont go to the scum. He is a good: centre mid,left mid,centre half or left back. He is willing to help out in any of those. Would he not benefit our youngsters at training? Get over it, see the big picture,get on the phone,MON,and sign him now. As FBA says,sign Boyd now then get our man David Villa in summer. Re: Beckford,Bates seems to like how we do business,could be in our favour. Isn't it great that,unlike previous years when our best players left,we know that it won't occur with MON? The club is really stable,even Damian must agree on that one? DV in summer :) GBN - neil bangor Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:06:32 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66019 Spurs want a swap deal. Carew for Keane. I dont know what i would say. We all love carew but Keane is what we need. If i was Oneill i would say you can have Heskey plus 5 mil or you can have 10 mil straight. Bentley could be part of the deal aswell. - frem Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:05:40 +0100 http://www.thevillablog.co.uk/aston-villa-blog/avfc-opinion/gareth-barry-unhappy-and-id-score-in-scotland-and-league-one-does-that-mean-i-can-take-the-step-up/#comment-66016 [quote]fastbackace said: ... -Pro barry if we had him back, we could play a great formation 4-2-3-1 with barry and petrov sitting defence mid, they were great last season. its that simple. i even think those 2 partnerd were better than our midfield of petrov and milner by legs. my lineup next year guzan l young, cueller, dunne, warnock barry petrov a young, milner, downing gabby(or david villa!)
