Other than it being quite widely reported, no not really!

An affair and super injunction so he wasn't subjected to cruel chants from fans.

Gareth Barry has had his fair share of controversy in his private life. Granted, he didn't screw his brothers wife but he's hardly someone who can be held up as a fine example of a man off the field.

I think if his work's not bringing the results it should then Koeman and Moshiri will be singing from the same hymn sheet and find a replacement. Koeman did seem very happy not to have that side of the job in his remit so I do think he's OK with a dof alongside him.

Nice to see us getting in the refs face to force the issue there... love our new found aggression.

I can't see that they wouldn't agree terms - the reported £40,000 a week wages he's on at the moment wouldn't be hard to match/better in the current climate. And the medical for a 6 month loan wouldn't be as stringent as for a longer term deal. The cynic in me wonders if they strung him along...

I'm sure that's a rare exception though.

Well at least because Burnley are playing tonight we can write it off if he's in the squad at 6.45pm and don't need to wonder till the deadline.

Same here. They shouldn't be allowed to sell at PL prices but buy at Championship prices. And a loan should be out of the question considering the amounts they banked for Winjaldum and Sissoko.

Possibly a bit early in his reign to say for sure that he and his staff are making the difference, but the signs are certainly very promising.

Hopefully we keep playing well enough to let him sit out the next few games, it's not like we're short of options there at the moment.

Some people seem to spend every waking minute on this forum and think it makes their opinion more worthy and more valid than not only match goers, but also those who don't air their views all day long on the forum. I hope you do return.

He scored a goal and had a good effort on goal, powerful shot but a bit too close to the keeper. I think to say he 'showed no threat whatsoever' is selling him short.

Suppose so, he didn't stay at Villa long.
