There is no reason that contract should be altered because a better (richer) team comes along. Clubs shouldn't be FORCED to sell players. "Tough Shit Garry Barry, wait till your deal is done and sign for free."

I think everyone out of the Aston Villa loop is working on the idea that the club is still run by Doug " Corner Shop" Ellis, the man who turned The Champions of Europe into also rans. Start thinking for yourself, Ahmed. Look at what is happening in England's Second City with eyes open and analyse with insight and original thought - NOT Londoncentric/SKY4 cliche. England's Original Giant is steadily coming back to life. Don't allow yourself to get caught out. Peace. AVFC1874 COF1888 One word to describe this piece: “Lazy”.

Clubs will NOT be able to overprice their players as NOW they will have to raise his salary in tandem with his price tag. This will STOP clubs from stopping exquisite players from moving on to Greater clubs.

MON himself said he would be "delighted" if Barry stayed at Villa Park! So how can you say we need to sell to buy???

Davis 10k, Guzan 2k, Friedel 2.5k, Young 6k, Shorey 4k, Sidel 5.5k, Cuellar 8k. Total spent this summer 38,000,000. Villa need the money. What a laugh. Where did you get this joke writer from.

Do you know for a fact that no-one here knows Randy anyway(I don't, but his profile says it all). Past Aston Villa dealings were done by Doug Ellis and Randy hasn't done too bad in terms of investment so far. Randy and MON have a vision and constant speculation will not change it one IOTA. We will be great again, maybe not now but soon. Limits on foreign players will even the field out and Aston Villa will be one club ready and a mostly english contingent well established.

They all come from the same place. Ahmad's spectulation is no different than yours. Well, unless of course, you know Randy Lerner. If So, I will shut up. Otherwise, assuming Aston Villa's past... they need the Barry money for current deals. God knows that if someone in Finance comes out and says we'll spend 30 million on the right player, there is no bullshit there. the whole transfer window is spectulation, until a move is actually brokered. Then these douche bags all report different numbers anyway. Hell, let Ahmad say what he wants, he is a Man U fan who is always used to upgrades in his squad.

It’s easy for them to progress when they have money to spend. We don’t have that money and we have to do our best with what we’ve got and make players better.

What are our limits? Do you get half a Bentley, a quarter of Bentley? Do we get Bentley’s right leg?”

I knew that before I wrote that bit. I also know that there's a large section of Villa fans who feel that money is NOT being spent. Plus pricing Barry at 18m surely pays off for the other players, right? In any case, that was one of the weaker parts, thanks for everyone pointing it out. To the gentleman who talked about Gerrard winning the Champions League, he had a chance to walk out right after winning it, Chelsea won the league the season after that, he'd have won it if he had moved.
