Si. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Gareth Barry is wanted by former club Aston Villa, according to the Sunday People. The midfielder has just one year left on his contract at Manchester City and has been told he can leave as a part of new boss Manuel Pellegrini’s revolution. by Peter Fraser 9:22 AM. Link to follow. Would you take him back? I would, much needed experience in the middle of the park that would only benefit the kids. Its just his wages that might be the stumbling block. Edited June 23, 2013 by Si.

Woodytom Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yes Please! Was just about to post in the signings thread that the one thing worrying me is that we still are reluctant to sign anybody with know how. Wages would be an huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeh go for it. Bit of experience and a Villa man to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yup, exactly what we need in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Definitely, exactly the type of player we need in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Would like to bring him back. Westwood and Barry sitting in midfield would be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah yeah. Sunday People is the Mirror, thus should be banned. Not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'd personally take him back as think he could still offer us something on and off the pitch. Wages a possible stumbling block and rumours are he's happy to wind down his remaining year of his contract at Citeh. Wouldn't surprise me to see him at Spudzzz (boyhood fan and wages wouldn't be an issue) If it were a choice between GB and Scott Parker, I'd take GB back.

TrentVilla Posted June 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2013 I think he is exactly the sort of player we could do with, a mature and experienced head in the side to give a little bit of stability and wisdom to younger legs around him. His passing would suit a 433 formation as well with pace in front of him as we already know. I can't personally see us being in for him, it doesn't really seem likely with Lambert's approach but I know that Barry always said privately he would like to return and wanted to finish his career in the midlands. Can't see it happening personally but I'd welcome him back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah yeah. Sunday People is the Mirror, thus should be banned. Not happening. Oh and I agree with this, the fact it is in The People basically means it is more than likely piffal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nath182 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Only if he comes and doesn't take a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillan78 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I wouldn't take him back, He's 32 now and Irrespective of his wages, I just don't think he's that good anymore. Besides he's not a Lambert type of signing anyway. Rather have Luke Murphy from Crewe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
