Gareth Barry

Experience on his side, gives us options for the team selections ahead.

Five times better than Osman.

Watch him be Ossie's backup now.

A good signing. In fact, the best signing of Martinez so far.

That would depend on the wages we're paying for him. I can see Deulofeu having a good season, and I presume he's not on big money.

If we sign Fernando to replace Fellaini, McCarthy too, then surely the Barry deal is off?

You'd think so.

Probably, but i'd like us to bring in another midfielder anyway especially if it was only a loan. Barry would add some good winning experience which we need

This deal seems dead?

Wages a problem apparently.

However Richard Keys was tweeting it was done yesterday

Leaving it to the last minute i would guess, if we can't sign another CM before the end of the window i would still expect us to sign him but if we do still sign a central midfielder or two i wouldn't expect us to sign him.

I thought the wages had been sorted with City to keep paying the bulk of it.

I'd be amazed if we signed both Fernando and McCarthy.

maybe city are holding out for someone to offer permanent deal?

I would imagine we're not going to push the button on any of the rumoured deals until the Fellaini one is agreed.
