Gareth Barry

Martinez thinks he can play into his 40s so give him a 6 year contract lol.

Lucas Neill?

He was decent for us yano, him and Heitinga had some good games together. Laid on two lovely assists against Bolton too.

Come back Lucas ffs.

We played our best football of the Moyes esc, as regards playing it from the back, when Neill and Heitinga played together.

Completely agree. They actually weren't half bad together, either.

They were superb when we drew at the Emirates in the snow, two jammy-arse deflections getting their goals.

Thought Neill and Heitinga were excellent together. Just the right amount snide coupled with ability to pass the ball well.

Just a thought... but as people have been talking about our CB's not being good enough on the ball, does anyone think Barry could move back to CB at any point? Reads the game well, played there before, calm in possession...Too slow? Need him too much in midfield?

Said that myself.

Could see him being a quality centre back, but at 6 feet tall can he jump high enough?

Interesting.

Maybe. Maybe not for us though.

I reckon he could play the position quite well alongside a fella as big and quick as Disty. I couldn't see him being better than Jagielka or even Stones though.

He'd be a good fit for LB if Baines was injured or we where short.

 

[steken1]

Will be more than happy with him getting a 2 year contract with option for another. He's ace. Will still be as fit as he is today at 35.

He'll be running like he's in treacle at 35. No place in the prem for CM's that age.

But he's an ultimate professional and such a rolemodel to the kids

I think he could definately play as part of a back 3. Being the central one who brings the ball out and the first out making challanges.

But don't see the point tbh, could buy and will need to buy a CB and he's still got at least another 12 months in him as a very good deep CM.
