Capricious Beats Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 As I said Barry is to swag to play for Liverpool. Rafa might get him as a squad player for the £8M he is worth, but now he is Euro cup tied I hope he longs it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangTheDJ Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Looks like he might remain captain...Which is why MON has been so reluctant to name the captain I guess.Hmmm, original thoughts are that I'm not pleased, but if anyone can work out a players head it's O'Neill so he must be up for the battle next season (Barry).

Guest Tronics Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Surprised that Liverpool wouldn't pay the asking price especially considering how hungry they were for him.Will be interesting to see how Villa fans react to Garoth.Might do more bad him staying in the long term...

TF S4DK Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Lol at what I said earlier coming true, this is so petty if true... THE amazing Gareth Barry transfer saga took a bizarre turn last night when Liverpool caved in to Aston Villa’s demands — 15 minutes too late.Two days of intense talks took place with Villa holding out for £18m cash.A 5pm deadline was set by Villa but when Liverpool failed to meet it, Villa immediately released a statement saying that the England star was staying.It read: “Aston Villa can announce that Gareth Barry will be staying with the club.“A final deadline to conclude this episode was set that all parties agreed to. This deadline has passed so Gareth will remain with Villa.”The speed in which Villa closed the debate stunned Liverpool and Barry, 27, but the Kop remain determined to get the midfielder.They had agreed to pay £18m but there was haggling over the methods of payment and Liverpool asked for a small deadline extension.Villa chief Randy Lerner refused and, even though Liverpool had everything in place by 5.15pm, Villa would not negotiate further.Barry is determined to play Champions League football and Arsenal could now renew their interest with a player-exchange deal.Liverpool’s £20m new-boy Robbie Keane made his debut in last night’s friendly in Spain against Villarreal.

Young £ Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Liverpool finally agree £19m deal for Gareth Barry despite Villa's 'staying' statementBy Neil Moxley and Simon JonesLast updated at 7:43 AM on 31st July 2008 * commentsComments (33) * Add to My Stories Add to My StoriesGareth Barry's transfer to Liverpool finally looks like going through after the Anfield club came up with the money to secure his move from Aston Villa.The longest-running saga of the summer has reached a confusing climax after an earlier statement that he was staying at Villa Park.Sportsmail understands that the mix-up was due to a deadline being missed by 20 minutes, and the transfer will finally be concluded on Thursday.Scroll down for moreGareth BarryFinally on his way: Gareth BarrySteve FinnanMakeweight: full-back Steve FinnanVilla will receive a £17.5million fee plus right back Steve Finnan in exchange for a midfielder who will fulfil his wish to play in the Champions League this season after all.To find the money, Liverpool needed to provide the bank with a guarantee that funds to cover the move will be raised during the remainder of the close season.The transfer has dragged on since May when Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez made it clear that Barry was his top priority. More... * We're coming to get you, Fergie - Liverpool's new No 7 Keane is determined to break United's Premier League dominance * FOR ALL THE LATEST LIVERPOOL NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB, CLICK HERE * FOR ALL THE LATEST ASTON VILLA NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB, CLICK HEREVilla manager Martin O'Neill was angry with him for making details of his interest public, and a war of words raged between them for much of the early summer.Liverpool made four separate bids to sign Barry but none of them matched O'Neill's valuation of the player.Barry's outburst against O'Neill in a Sunday newspaper then appeared to signal the end of any chance of him remaining at Villa.He accused the manager of finding time to be a pundit at Euro 2008 but not to speak to him about his future and was disciplined and told to stay away from the club's training ground.Then Barry was booed by Villa fans at a pre-season friendly at Walsall last week, but that mood had mellowed when he appeared as a substitute in Saturday's InterToto Cup tie with Odense.Jermaine PennantOn his way: Jermaine Pennant is likely to leave Anfield to fund Barry's arrivalMatters finally reached a head on Monday when O'Neill tried to force the Merseysiders into a corner by setting a deadline. That was passed at 5pm on Wednesday when Villa had still not received confirmation from Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry that funds were in place.Villa then put out a statement on their website confirming that Barry would be staying. It read: 'This evening, Aston Villa can announce that Gareth Barry will be staying with the club following the interest from Liverpool over recent months.'During discussions in the past few days, a final deadline to conclude this episode was set that all parties were aware of and agreed to. This deadline has now passed and so Gareth will remain with Villa.'However, it soon transpired that the two clubs were still talking over the move. Barry had been due to play in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Notts County on Thursday - but his name was subsequently withdrawn.And it also appears that the England midfielder has already committed himself to renting a house in Cheshire.The transfer has dragged on but now Benitez has to act quickly by offloading players to keep Liverpool's part of the bargain with financiers.Those destined for the exit door include Andriy Voronin, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso and Jermaine Pennant.Following David Bentley's defection to Spurs, Pennant will probably be the first to leave as Blackburn manager Paul Ince spends some of the transfer money he has received.Robbie Keane kicked off his Liverpool career against Villarreal in Spain, two days after completing his £19m move from Tottenham. The Republic of Ireland captain started up front alongside 19-year-old David Ngog, who cost £1.5m from Paris Saint-Germain. http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/sport/footba...-statement.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojo Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hoping this isn't true but it would be funny to see the Villa fans hail MON as a master negotiator who had this in mind all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
