maqroll Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 But how good is David Silva? SCARY. I'm not sure how Gareth Barry gets a starting spot in that team, but credit Mancini for getting it all right. . Because he is a top class midfielder, the best Aston Villa player of his generation and, along with his present team mate Milner, they are probably the second and third best Villa players of the Premier League years. His Villa days have nothing to do with this season with Manchester City. I'm not surprised City wanted Barry when they came for him, but I am surprised that 3 years later, in this team full of Galacticos, he still starts for them.

He's not a top class midfielder, Essien, Xabi Alonso, De Rossi, Schweinsteiger, Barry? No, he's just a good solid CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted October 23, 2011 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2011 Of course, he doesn't have a foreign name, so he can't be any good Yeah, that was my point. It's because he's called Barry. Not because they are in an entirely different league to him in every way. I'm not sure why people value somebody who just takes the ball and passes it to somebody close by so highly. He was our saviour in the WC eh?

ryanvilla_1994 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 How poor is Anderson? The midfield of him and Fletcher was always going to be overrun. Don't understand why Welbeck starts for Man Utd either, Hernandez is miles better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he let us down Agreed. Villa treated him like a prince from the very first, and when things got just a little bit uncomfortable, he left. Loyalty shown, but not reciprocated, just like Downing. I can't help but like Milner, but it bothers me that players can just up and leave whenever they want. If Barry, Milner, Downing and Young all had the guts to stick it out with Villa, they'd be heroes forever, and we'd be challenging for silverware.
