Also. There is no way he is being offered 3 years. Reckon it will be 18 months.

I would imagine he can't play in a match against City in the FA Cup - unless he's been completely released from his contract at City. If that were the case he could also play in the league game(s) against them.

Not sure that's right. Its the PL rules that stop loan players playing against their parent clubs, but I don't think the same applies in the FA Cup

Page 11 of the FA Cup rules clearly state:

The Association will not give permission for players on loan or work experience to play against the lending Club.

Shhhhhh.... it was meant to be kept secret!

Don't worry, it's not me, i'm not that ugly but there you go.

At first glance three years seems a bit much, but considering the massive wage reduction Barry would be taking it makes sense.

I think he may end up going somewhere else. Tottenham are due an Anglicising of their squad after the AVB disaster, so I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up there.

I doubt that. His home (wife's horses, kids schools etc) is in the North. He won't go to London (and has been quoted as saying such)

 

[deipnosophist]

A 3 year deal seems a tad steep. I'd be looking to give him a years deal with view to extension. I think he's great by the way but age is against him. His experience and know how is second to non and would be great to have in the squad alongside McCarthy and Gibson.

I was about to post exactly that...glad I read your post first as it saved me having to type anything...uh, hang on

For an extra £60k a week I'm sure he'd be happy to find new schools and stables.

...are you familiar with the economics concept of 'marginal utility' ? Look it up and you may change your view
