Gareth Barry: a big deal for Villa, a big waste of money for Man City?
|
Last summer, despite having three of the best central midfielders in the world safely under contract, Rafael Benitez spent the best part of the summer trying to lure Gareth Barry to Anfield. A year on and it seems that once again the race is on for the England international’s signature. This time it is mega-bucks Man City who have their noses in front, not least because they will meet whatever extortionate demands Aston Villa may choose to make. (Let us not forget that this is the club who paid £18m for Nigel de Jong in January when they could have signed him for a tenth of the fee in the summer).

It’s safe to say that the Villa have missed out on their best opportunity to play Champions League football in recent times. The ‘big four’ are getting stronger and stronger.
