Gareth Barry

[RFUS]

I'd love us to sign Darren Fletcher, btw. Great player.

Off topic I know. Maybe he can be used to sweeten the deal for Fellaini. 20m + Darren Fletcher and it's a deal for me. I'd say he's a 10m player on his day, when fit.

Then we can have two injury prone United CMs. Maybe we should go for the holy treating room trinity and approach Hargreaves as well?

Obviously only mean if he is fit and overcomes his current illness/injury whatever it is.

He's not a sicknote usually, and Fergie didn't constantly pick him for the important games because he is ****e.

However, that said, he is 30 in February, so maybe not the smartest move. Thought he was younger meself.

Good player, Fletcher. Very good player indeed.

But if he gets over his illness United will want to keep him.

That's why I said Yaya AND Fernandinho.

Fair enough. Like I've said I don't want him playing CM for us either but some of this is a bit OTT. He's not Nyarko.

He played CM against united and we won. City we won. And there were other sides with powerful midfields where he played and we did well.

Think this is half the problem mate. He'll have 2 good games out of 30.

I think if we get Gareth Barry, it will only be as cover for Gibson, like Hitzlsberger was last year. He probably wouldnt play that much, just more than he will at City.

No guarantee he'll play again lid. Ulcerative colitis he has I think. Very nasty.

I don't disagree Ijj. I just think those talking about him as a league 1 player with no legs are going a little bit over the top. I.e. 2 good games in 30 is OTT.

its not far off though...

Fair enough, a real shame. Cracking player with a great attitude towards the game.

gibson is injury prone so he'd play quite a bit. better option than having osman there though.

I don't think he'd come to us just be be cover for someone else.

Barry would play a lot more than that. Probably more time than Osman to be honest.

 

[Moomin]

Barry gets paid in excess 100k, that's a lot for a player who would be cover for Gibson.

I would not bother with him.

I highly doubt we'd be paying all of his wages...
