Gareth Barry is keeping young players out of the team. Great innit?

Gareth Barry is an uninspiring player. When was the last time he did something to inspire the team (and i dont mean giving away a foul after letting his man go...again)?

He's very similar to Neville in that when playing centre midfield he acts as if he's a talisman and the midfield general but absolutely never stamps his authority on a game nor dominates the opposition. The only thing missing is the pointing which is replaced by gamesmanship.

He has zero pace so is reliant on snidey challenges or else hes caught out by any runner as can be seen in pretty much every single game. Remove his dirty play and gamesmanship and what do you have, well Tobias Linderoth springs to mind...

His passing is his greatest asset, not dissimilar to Vinny Samways he can pick a pass...of course its never a danger to the opposition so he is basically an average un-insightful non-playmaker.

He cant cover runners
He cant dictate play nor be a playmaker
Hes not box to box
Hes not a talisman nor inspirational

Hes just an average player whose adept at sneaky fouls and gamesmanship a bit like an ageing Did Hamman.

His positional play is great but sadly he hasnt the skillset to do anything with it.

Hes never getting in a traditional top 6 team.

I know you are on the wind up... But... Never getting into a top six team? Didn't The RS try to sign him when they were a regualar too 6 team? Yes... They did... But in the end he went to city.... AND WON THE LEAGUE!

Man Utd
Arsenal
Chelsea
City

He's miles off those elevens, he's also never getting into Spurs team and if you think Henderson would ever be dropped by the Obergruppenfuhrer at the RS then...

If we had signed Witsel or Carvalho he'd be benched.

How many of Leicester's players would get into those eleven's?

None of these players would get on the England side.

I don't think I actually posted my thoughts at the time.*

That said, I know I thought to myself what an utterly pointless signing.

I was wrong.


*I might have posted that...too lazy to look into the vaults.

100 games for Everton. I thought we were stupid to give him a 3 year contract but proven wrong.

Got no one like him, we will struggle if he gets injured.
