It's all gone too public for him to stay now. Barry isn't what Liverpool need in my opinion, and most the fans know that too, that's why they don't want him, not 'cause he isn't a good player, but how many midfielders does Rafa want?? They need genuine wide players and a proper forward. Villa are the only ones that are gunna come out of this on the up of you ask me. MON will spend that kinda cash wisely on 2 players that will move your team forward. Sometimes loosing your best player isn't always the worst thing in the world. Look at us getting rid of Ruud, and when Keano finally left. That's not to say I want ROnaldo to go mind! But that's a whole other kettle of fish! That said, no player is priceless.......

I always thought he was a better racing driver than midfielder though! I think the way Liverpool have conducted themselves over this transfer has been dreadful - I think that more than anything has led to this situation. Martin won't let anyone ride rough-shod over him and so he's named his price and slammed the door. Good for him! But, what happens to Gareth if all this falls through? Do you think that's why he's done a bit of a u-turn over what he was reported to have said about wanting to play for Liverpool? The other thing that worries me is that BG is to bloody nice! You need a hard edge to be a winner and I don't know whether he's got it. Compare his demeanour and attitude to that of someone like Ballack, Rooney or even Gerrard! He's a nice guy and nice guys don't usually end up winning much. Am I making the argument to sell or keep him again? I've forgotten whether I want him to stay or go! Now that would be good!

If Liverpool value Alonso at £14mil and Villa value Barry at £20mil, if I was MON I'd say give us Alonso and £5mil! Now that would be some deal for Villa,wouldn't happen I know, but would be pretty funny! Improve your team, weaken the scousers and pocket some cash....it would make me laugh!

We all have our cross to bear - if you pardon the expression! In all honesty, this saga is dragging on a bit isn't it? I was just reading an article over at vitalvilla and it would appear that there are a lot of Liverpool fans who don't want Gareth Barry. Being totally honest, playing at Villa suits him - I think a move to Liverpool where his place is going to be under threat and he'll be sitting on the bench a lot more may unsettle his game. When he's on form and in the mood, he's a cracking player but if things aren't all smelling of roses in his world, he can become totally anonymous and you forget he's even playing. There has been a bit of a back-track in his "I want to play for Liverpool" statement, it now appears to have been "if the club agrees a fee for me to move to Liverpool, the opportunity to play Champions League football is something I would have to consider very carefully" *Throws hands up in despair* At the end of the day, who knows what'll happen? It looks like you can have him, but you'll have to stump up the dosh first and he won't be cheap! Nick – LOL!! We all have our cross to bear – if you pardon the expression!

Either pay up or look elsewhere, it really is that simple.

Godzilla was a dinosaur in a Japanese B movie - what you trying to say??? It's a clever name because it implies that Villa are God's team - get it? LOL!! Anyway, I take your point about the meaningless friendly, but you try and buy the current England captain, he's gotta be worth more than £13m whoever he is! :o) Nick – It’s Godzvilla with a Z mate.

So, if Alonso is being sold for £14m, Gareth Barry (the last player to wear the England Captain’s Armband don’t forget!) MUST be worth MORE than £14m - right? Otherwise, Benitez is weakening his team isn’t he?" He may well be trying to IMPROVE his team, but Alonso is quite simply a better football player then Barry. Not knocking Barry, good player, but Alonso is better. Swapping one for the other will not be strengthening Liverpool. Barry's high price is simply a matter of him being English and Villa not wanting to sell, it has nothing to do with a reflection on his quality. What on Earth has the fact he was the last England captain, in a meaningless friendly, got to do with anything? Quote from Godzilla
