Gareth Barry for me as well.  Give him the captaincy and sit him front of the back four.

Well it's a real chance for somebody to attain legendary status and be at the helm of the side as we fight to get back to the top division.
Barry does have a couple of years left in the prem but who knows??

Bang on.  With the goings on at Everton and potential change of manager I think that Barry might be up for it too.  A season of playing every week and an opportunity to (re)claim some sort of cult status at a club that hopefully means something to him.

Barry's on eighty grand a week. He's going nowhere.

I bet Crouch is on a fair old wage too.

Up until Cardiff went up a couple of seasons ago, Whittingham was one of the top players in the Championship.  He seems to have regressed a bit since then though.  One thing we do desperately need is someone who can take a decent set piece.

Yep, and he's lost his turn of speed.

To be fair to him he's knocking on a bit now. 32 this year. His goal record from midfield is still reasonable too.

He's still playing despite his glass legs and being about 38ish now. Gives me hope that Stan could make the comeback.

He's their top scorer this season, from midfield. It would not surprise me to see him get a Premiership move and I think Eddie Howe would be a great manager for someone like Johnson to play under.
