I'm probably alone on this, but I would take Gareth Barry back if he was available.

I think he's still got a big part to play for City.

Barry won't come back and rightly so.

I assume he's still injured. He was a big part of their team last year but you have to wonder whether Rodwell is his long-term replacement. He's too old, too slow and on too much money anyway.

As weird as it sounds, we genuinely need a nut case who enjoys hurting people. Not sure we could afford his wages though.

We should sign Scotlands Cafu then. Alan Hutton I believe his name is.

As with any Man City player who is no longer needed, City will have to bite the bullet and subsidise the wages of the buying club if they truly want to get rid of him.

Apparently Huddlestone is available on loan...we could do with a player like him in our midfield alongside KEA.

One that doesn't clog up the physio room would be better.

Only if Spurszz have to have him back if/when he gets injured.

Spurs have taken us for a ride every time we've dealt with them in recent years.
