2017/18 Gareth Barry

[Bob Latchford]

Good luck Gaz Baz
Was hoping he would set the prem league appearance record with us this season, but it's only right he moves on to play more games.
Model pro and hard as nails. Will miss him

And Gaz is very fit for his age. The good thing is that he is always available for selection. We can't rely on McCarthy and Besic so it looks like we will bring another DM/CM in. Hopefully.

Don't think we will, especially just a bit part player.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Would've still been an asset this season, especially in the europa. Needs to replaced as I can only assume McCarthy is off also. Sad to see a true pro leave, good luck to him though!

 

[jackyboy]

Proved me wrong.

Hope he does well at WBA.

 

[cromofo]

Sad to see him go.

Good luck.

Great servant. Wish he stayed for the season, but if he wants to play (understandable at his age and knowing the player) then fair play. £50-60k a week off the wages bill and £1m fee for a player almost 37.

 

[cronullasharks]

Top pro. Was hoping he'd stick around at Everton when he retired in a coaching capacity

He can always come back if that's the case.

good luck to him, hope he smashes the PL appearance record.
also hope it opens up an opportunity for liam walsh and beni beningime and we dont buy some dross to block their path like we did with martina and kenny.

 

[McMagic]

Best 2 players on our books this morning were Rooney and Barry. Good luck Gaz!

It is indeed shocking. Getting 1M for a guy that is completely past it on the field shows you what an amazing professional he must be off the field.

 

[madden95]

i'm gutted he is going to be honest. such a shame we couldn't get him younger. always performed and gave a 100% quality on the ball. model professional. never hid when things was going against him. His biggest testament is how many people are gutted to see him leave after so many didnt want him to sign. best of luck Gareth you handsome man. Be a good signing for west brom.

 

[Eggs]

...always enjoyed watching Gareth Barry, he's a master footballer and a top professional.

 

[BlueShark]

I have nothing but admiration for the man, a top professional. Wishing him all the best at WBA and I hope he makes it to that appearance record.

The more I think of this the more I don't like it.
