Gareth Barry

Gareth Barry is the very definition of a quality professional. I can hardly find a place where he's put a foot wrong since he put on the blue jersey. He and McCarthy have been superb together.
 


It's what sensible people do.

Watch what happens if we get/go for McGeady in the January window though!!

Have to say not sure we need him. Look better with pace of Gerard, rather we tried to sign him if possible. McGeady is a good player but if him and Pienaar played in the same team we'd lack pace.
 
Barry is the lynchpin to how we play in Martinez's style. Lukaku and Gerry are rightly getting the plaudits but Barry pulls it all together and always gives Jagielka and Distin an option. We know we won't keep Deufoleu ( well, maybe for one more season ) and signing Romelu permanently is unlikely but if we hold on to Barry I'll be happy.

Ask any Villa or Citeh fan about him and they'll respond with a wistful look.
 
No player is a better 'leader by example'. Everything he does is measured and pre-planned, he never wastes a pass, he never looks under pressure. He has been the shining light in every game we've been under pressure by calming the rest of the midfield and the rest of the team out.

Brilliant again tonight
