Southgate was class, can hardly remember him putting a foot wrong for us.

He was expecting a bigger move and it didn't work out.


Because he wasn't good enough.

F**K no. Lardarse Custardpants can rot in Manchester for all I care. Although I fully expect Mascherano to leave Liverpool and GB to get his dream move to play alongside Stevie GBH. Then with Cole out wide, the RedScouse suddenly look like a dangerous team again. Damn.

When was the word filter set to change Liver.p.l.o.p to Liverpool?

If we were getting no one else in, well then yes. But he looks as slow as fuck, he was really caught for pace for England, so age seems to be catching up. If we have a young dynamic midfielder in mind, well then definaltely no.

You can have all the skill you like but in todays game if you only have first gear you are struggling.

Barry in for Petrov would do nothing for us, another intelligent player who's good on the ball but too slow and not physical enough to be a defensive midfielder.
We need a ball winner for that position - Reo Coker could do it but is likely on his way either this season or next.
Barry next to a player like that with someone like Ireland or even Ashley young pushed forward just behind Gabby would work.
Can't see it happening and Ireland more likely to come as part of deal along with Onouha, which I'd be happy enough with.

you can have all the pace and energy you like in todays game,
 but if you have a low skill level, a poor first touch and no vision of what you want to do with the ball, you are struggling

easy,
 Barry is a good player that we never replaced,
 his best years are behind him granted, but he is still good enough to hold his place in our team, and depending on who we have around him capable of turning in another couple of top class seasons at least

Never, too old, too slow, too expensive. He's much better suited to keeping the bench warm at citeh next season cause thats all he'll be doing.

He was as good 08-09 as Milner was 09-10, so a comparative player for a fraction of the price, yes please. Not sure a two of Petrov and Barry/Milner ever worked brilliantly, but then I think we all know it needs to be a 3 for us to really challenge.

Absolutely no way, Jose. It should not happen and it most certainly will not happen.

We had the best of Barry, now we should be looking to move on.
