Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[DB]

Can you imagine the press conference if Barry re-signed?  He'd obligated to spouting such crap as "coming home" and this is "my club" etc.  For that reason alone I think he should be avoided.

His comments at the petrov charity game would suggest he still has great feeling for villa and loved his time here - i understood his reasons for leaving and would welcome him back.

Would Randolph afford his wages?

PS 99% of footballers motivation is £££.

Barry would be aware of what happening with Villa and he had made his money, played for england regularly and won few medals. So he wouldn't want to keep sitting on the bench as there is World Cup place to win. We do need his experience and calming influence. But one question remain can he and Westwood play together.

For the way he dragged us through the press (NOTW) slagging off the club and trying to force a move to Liverpool through Barry can fuck right off. He's still a wanker of the highest order and I don't want him coming back under any circumstances. Shitting fuck face.

[garyshawsknee]

Yeah, but how do you really feel Peter ?

Spot on.

That begging in the press thing was totally unacceptable.

not sure. I'd take the **** back like a shot...

[olaftab]

A 30 plus experienced pro would be necessary for development of youth and its the premier league so have to be realistic that prem is a tough league and without experience can be a struggle! Barry would fit in middle and can play left back or in defence.

Good to see Barry talk has resurfaced i have been saying this could be a move that would reap rewards.

[olaftab]

Yes let's get Barry and slow down our play to suit him so he can sprinkle his "experience" all over the centre circle!

[Matt Collins]

It's not an emotive thing to me. More that he'd still be on a lot, and would hold back the development of Delph or Westwood, surely? Those two were beginning to look really good in midfield.

Having said that, there is something missing from our midfield still, possibly some experience. But Barry would demand to be a starter and I think we should look elsewhere in the team as a priority.

Is this Barry talk anything other than hypothetical? Because I would really like Gordon Cowans in his Taylor days to play for us again.

Can I point you in direction of the thread title. But also a requirement for this transfer thread is a sense of humor and is not to take everything seriously as  many of us have displayed. However suggestion, rumours and speculation of  Barry coming back cant in fact be a joke unlike your humorous cowans (who s a 54 coach now and cannot time travel). Barry is still a premier league player

Sorry to burst some of your bubbles, but anybody who saw Barry last season would've seen that he is a has-been and past it. A big no from me.
