Gareth Barry

Good player.

Total yellow card factory but i'm glad we have him.

On his last legs but a model pro and a classy player

Destined to be a sub for most of next season

Fine by me that. 2-1 up with 7 to go. Barry on to tackle stuff.

 

[madden95]

he is exactly the type of player you want as a squad player, especially coming on to hold a game. model pro for anybody coming through been a really good singing i think.

should set a yellow card record that will be impossible to ever get close to

I mean he's handsome but I wouldn't take it that far

He shouldn't even be a sub.

We have loads of midfield options, he should be nowhere near the match day squad at 75 years old.

Don't think so, willing to bet we let him go. He has one season left in him, like him or not as a player, he has been a good pro, and I think once RK gets in a couple more, he will be allowed to go to a team where he will play every week

He can still give us a good run of games when needed. He was really, really good for the first month of the season last year - possibly our second best midfielder - he can't keep it up for more than 4 or 5 weeks though.

Wouldn't you think at this stage in his career though he'd be happy to be a squad player on a team playing in Europe and on the uptick, rather than grinding game in game out for a lower level side?

Some would do that and just collect their pay. Barry doesn't strike me as that sort. I think he will want to play, and I think he has been a good servant for us and RK will allow him to go. When you say lower level, I don't know if you mean championship? If so, I don't think that at all, I think he could do a job for a number of PL teams this season

As has been said, model pro - however we need more mobile, youthful options both on and off the bench. Aston Villa wouldn't be a bad shout for the fella.

 

[roydo]

As a player, going forward, limited now. Not a dig, just age and that.

As an influence/coach/mentor, could be superb imo.

 

[ijjysmith]

I'm a bit annoyed I'll be honest.

I bumped this in the hope people would all hate on him and be all nobby. And nearly everyone has praised him.


I'm livid.

Difficult to dislike him Ijjy.

With our squad rapidly resembling a creche, he might be quite a decent sounding post for them.
