Having Barry back?

[PaulTheVillan]

As part of the Milner to Man City deal it seems we could be getting a player in exchange.

Would you like that to be Gareth Barry?

[TheSandman]

No.

If we want a slow fat bastard in midfield I'm nearly 10 years younger, on a free transfer and willing to accept just £40K per week.

And I can play right back!

[MoetVillan]

Barry in and taking Petrovs place.  And if Milner is in the same position in a years time and we need him, I would do the same.  Im not choosing out of loyalty (because that would make me a mug)  I think Barry would give us an improvement in midfield.  I think if he had stayed, we may have gone fourth last season

[Greg N'Ash]

Nah. Never go back. And he's too old.

[TaxDodger]

I wouldn't mind, I still think he could do well for us. I'd prefer Ireland really though.

[IronDukeVillain]

Too slow, fact, saw that against the Germans. Too defensive and we have that type of player. Need a defence splitting passer of a midfielder, that is going to get everyone noticing the Villa, then next season he will move on again to Citeh!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

No, no, NO!

[MoetVillan]

I dont think his passing is in question, far from it, and ball retention is excellent.  His pace is the tough sell, but thats why I would use him to replace Petrov and look to Delph to make it his position long term

[TopDeck113]

No.

Leaving everything else to one side, with possible exception of Sid Cowans, I can't think of anyone at the Villa who has proved the "never go back" adage to be wrong.

[ianburnip]

No, we need someone creative, who can change a game. Defour perhaps?

[pauliewalnuts]

Whatever the situation with Milner leaving, however pissed off we are that it looks like happening, let's not forget Barry's Evening Mail front page letter to the fans.

That's a no.

[Matt C]

Never go back.

[sfx412]

Great idea, would give enough time for Mon, to find a replacement. He would last 3 seasons surely

[Phil from the upper holte]

Fuck NO

Did we miss him this year? NO we didn't will we miss Milner if he leaves? A big fat yes for me but I don't want that wanker back at VP Im never setting foot in the place again if he does

[Phil from the upper holte]

No, we need someone creative, who can change a game. Defour perhaps?

Thats exactly what we need, we need a Merson type in the middle, Someone who can create something
