I've heard a rumour that Barry could be finally on his way to Liverpool when they sell Mascherano.

I am a bitter with Milner as Villa and MoN have helped move him on massively. There has never been much gratitude from what I have seen (unlike Barry to be fair). I think we deserve better and I find it difficult to wish Milner any luck tbh.

I fear Liverpool will be on the rise once the ongoing ownership saga is resolved (which looks imminent). Barry would do well there under Hodgson I think.

Cant believe the club have gone for the old "back injury" Thought that was only used by former "Rover workers" when they had been on the lash all weekend ........


The Rover bad back was a legitimate pass to a six-month paid holiday.

Ye i know. I was on holiday with two of my mates who were on "back leave" in greece .............

I thought he's interested in Christian Poulsen or Steven Defour to replace Javier Mascherano.  Well, maybe Kenny Huang, that Chinese businessman meant business afterall.

Especially for you
I wanna let you know I dont like MON too
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
Mischief in my heart
I've never changed
I'm borderline insane.

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if brains were wings, you know
I couldn't cross the room
To be where you are
Talking out your arse.
And now that I'm next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Full of loneliness and sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

(CHORUS)
And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my nose is full of glue
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

I'd be more concerned that should the two of them ever meet it could mean the end of life as we know it.

You can't really deny the facts. Out of the 30 odd players he's signed, you'd have to say only about 8 of the first team and Luke Young (who was good but the manager hates) can be called out and out sucesses

I must confiess to being a bit confused as to Liverpool's financial position right now.  OK, they may be able to sign Barry at a knock down fee, but his wages are huge.  Surely that's not an extra financial burden they are in a position to make, which is backed up by not being able to match Luke Young's wages?  Yet they've just signed Joe Cole on £90k a week, which is hardly going to lessen their debt issues.

I hipe Liverpool DO buy Barry. Maybe it'll make other footballers sit up and take note that you go to Man City for a good time, not a long time.

If we managed to get £19 million plus Ireland, I think I'd be dancing in the streets, but I can't see it.

I have to say, though, that I don't think anyone, even Man City, would pay 20m for a player with one year left on his contract.

Although they did pay £17m for Nigel De Jong who only had six months left on his contract.
