Barry reckons he can play on until he’s 40.

“I don’t see any reason why not,” he added. “I feel as good as I did when I was 30. I’m 35 now, and I don’t feel any different.

“One of my regrets is not winning a trophy at Villa - that still hurts.

“It’s why one of the things I want to do is win a trophy with Everton before I hang my boots up.”
 
I actually think Barry has been getting forward a bit more to be honest. I think Koeman likes us to vary our play and don't think he's that keen on both FBs bombing on all the time like previous managers. As long as we keep ourselves covered defensively I think most players are given license to get forward. In fact I think it's expected. Think Barry's scored already hasn't he?

Yeah the header against spurs I think, or brom. Good signs...

I think he's great. I dont think he was playing poorly when Martinez' head went, I just think the style of play at the time exposed him a bit and 99% of players would've struggled to keep us going in that situation.

I hope he plays as long as he can for us, and I hope he wins that trophy with us.

The only thing I can think of is that I
I wish we'd have bought him when he was a younger man, say, at when he was 50.....
 
Would love to see him win something with us, and as Zaschrona says I would like to think we have a job for him when he eventually hangs up the boots. We could put him in a glass cage at Finch Farm and when the young professionals go out to train just point at him and say " that is what you aspire to be"

Looks like Barry's on the plotter hitlist now then.
