Gareth Barry

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

If, for whatever reason we don't sign Barry, would you have Lampard?
Would bring even more in terms of experience. You would assume similar in terms of professionalism. Can he sit and do the same job? Would he form an effective partnership with James?

Would anyone have Lampard over Barry?

We couldn't afford Lampard

A couple of Leicester fans that I work with are convinced he's signing for City

They're totally deluded then...

I'm confused. Is Gareth Barry printing money, or own a bank? Or is this all some big euphemism that I have missed?

Gareth Barry surprised a lot of us this past season. I am uncertain as to his bank stockholdings, or his counterfeiting/central banking skills, but one thing for certain; he is a damn good defensive midfielder who I would like to see in EFC colours in the 2014/15 season

What do you reckon he'd be after?

You could argue we couldn't afford Barry.

True, probably on similar salaries at there clubs?

That's my thinking.

Lampard probably on more i'd guess, but both on a huge wage, that i'm not sure we could compete with.

Having said that, they currently are earning less that me each month!

LOL

...New York City?...

...are these two Leicester workmates of yours itk?...that'd be a Leicester first (and second) lol

Yes, approximately 225 players drafted every year. But also 225 players (or more) cut every year to keep the roster at 55. Seems like a lot of players, but it's not really.

watch the movie "moneyball'...the players are traded like horses

printing money is to counter-act a lack of investment/demand, done so by giving bonds to banks in the hope that they will be more willing to loan it out (this may not actually be the case). if deflation is is believed to be about to occur or is occurring it can have negative consequences on an economy such as reducing GDP and increasing a budget deficit even further, quantitative easing (printing money) is a policy that can be attempted to use to do that. It wouldn't be in any countries interest to do this as it can significantly reduce the value of countries currency whether america still do it i don't know but I think it was a german or brit working for japan who created it and he later went of to say it doesn't work! yet Governments still use it, in theory it's used to stimulate growth and create jobs not to take over land though I imagine government debt from loans is a big factor as if inflation rises with GDP which USA economy is currently growing at 6% in theory it reduces the debt as you technically have more money to pay it off.

basically the more quantitative easing you are doing the easier it will be to pay off your debt to china at the risk of damaging your own economy

this belongs in the Kenwright thread mate. Not sure what it's doing in this one

Quite a bit I'd imagine

He's used to living in London in what a normal man would consider oppulence. He's also got kids and he's eventually going to marry The Bleakley. He'd want a fair bit of moolah I think

And here's the main problem, I'm sure Gareth Barry will agree..

Prof Werner is also critical of the UK's concentrated banking structure - which he argues has made the economy more vulnerable. "British banking is dominated by a small number of big banks - with just five banks controlling 90% of deposits," he says.

"Big banks want to lend to big firms and do big deals that give big bonuses. Small firms are too much hassle, and the banks are absolutely not interested - even though small firms need the credit and account for 70% of UK employment. So these small firms are credit-rationed and that's a problem."

"In Germany, 70% of deposits are held by 2,000 banks," says Prof Werner. "These local German banks lend a lot more to small- and medium-sized firms, and when the credit crunch happened most of them were fine."

deposits don't create credit...debt creation (credit) creates deposits...that's why banks profits are so increasingly massive : that fact, combined with FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING.

I hope Gareth Barry continues to lend his experience and professionalism to Everton Football Club

He does have a fair bit of £££. I imagine Barry would want up to 65k. Who is going to pay Frank more than that and give him first team football at a higher level than us?

I think we are a viable option for him if football is his number one priority.

Went to school with Raheem we are the same age he was at our school for 2 years at Rainhill he arrived from QPR, we have the LFC academy there so a lot of lfc players go there, during P.E heard him make a few jokes about FOBS if that counts. I'm also not bull shitting either Google the school he went to, i can't prove the FOB jokes like but they are also true.

dont know what fob means..
but i know what a grass is.

Some of what's been posted over the last few pages should have been in the Ale House lads.
Gareth Barry would, I'm sure, prefer it that way
