Mourinho didn't want Ballack and I'd say the same thing for Mikel, was more Kenyon's doing.United have Scholes retiring soon and Fletcher is a bit-part player (a very good one). Barry isn't a bit-part player IMO and his better than Fletcher.
Which can only benefit Liverpool. His versatility also makes him a very good squad player.Strength in depth.
