Gareth Barry

[Kiwi]

Given that a few of the sound Man City fans I talk footy with collectively reckon they've never replaced him, and that they need someone in his mold to get back their defensive solidity shows his worth. Been here a couple of years and they're still raving about him.
After his wobbles last season has come back and been outstanding.
Best reader of the game in the league IMO.

Fantastic player for Everton.

 

[Saint Domingo]

So it's about his age and the TEAM's league standing?

Makes sense....

Pardon?!

Have you heard of the words hysterical juvenile extrapolation?

 

[Elong]

Could understand this cockiness on some other player threads but really he's 35 and we're 12th in the league. I don't really need to keep going. Wouldn't get into many sides above us.

Baines and Jags are coming up to a similar age, they wouldn't make any sides above us? Age isn't an issue.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Just give it up mate, you're staggering around this thread now like a tramp with 6 cans of Skol.

And you are offering what to to the debate? You're the equivalent of the kid on a school yard watching a fight from the back of the crowd laughing.

Absolutely mate. Doesn't mean that your point has any more substance.

That may be true , sadly your retorts don't seem to relate to my points as you continually misrepresent nearly all of them in the manner I've just described.

 

[Carlito]

He's been much better without the congested fixture list, but I agree that he sits too deep and unbalances the midfield.

It wouldn't be a problem if he was ever rotated, though. There's no need to have him on the pitch against crap at home.

You're not even offering a debate full stop, you're having a dig at one of our best players this season because he doesn't have a high FIFA rating, just drop it.

I quoted a load of your utter bollocks earlier.

Your retort was you don't like him and won't change that opinion.

To argue with a simpleton I would therefore have to lower myself to a simpleton and I'm not prepared to do that.

 

[mkrudden]

Now, now. Don't get nouty. I even when through your last point line by line. Your retort, akin to the little girl folding her arms and saying 'no' is about as bad as it gets.

You deserve the beasting you're getting from various posters because you won't just admit that you don't like Barry for non-footballing reasons. We are here for you. Repent.

Not true at all, couldn't have articulated these reasons any more times than I have. If you don't agree with them then fine. Instead I'm being mocked and misrepresented for essentially holding a different opinion to some that a 35 year old playing for s bottom half premier league team is not 'class'.

Baz has deffo beasted Mrs St Domingo, no way he's hated this much otherwise
