Quote from: Toronto Villa on September 25, 2017, 02:19:55 PMI just wish that he hadn't tried to manufacture a move to Liverpool. I'll appreciate all that he did, and yes still consider him more Villa than anything but that wasn't a good episode in his time with us. Much like Benteke in that regard, brilliant for us but there is a stain that can't be removed.There’s no stain as far as I’m concerned, just a disappointed he left, but of course he justified his move when he won the League and FA Cup. As for him engineering a move, well isn’t every single transfer “engineered” by someone or another along the line? Basically he was at the club from his 16th birthday so when he left it hurt, so maybe that’s the real reason there’s still a bit of bad feeling with some Villa fans. Not from me though, because he was a class act in a Villa shirt and a perfect professional. A terrific player and a Villa man.

Of course, loved him more when he was at Villa.What are some of your favourite Barry moments in a Villa shirt?Mine would be his outstanding strike against Spurs in October 2006. Not long after Angel had missed a penalty and scored an own goal in front of the Holte.
How many times did he try to orchestrate a move again? Was it just the three?
