Title: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City (and Kaka to probably Real Madrid) Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:09:54 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8079088.stm Looks like it was all about £££ all along - a season out of Europe to join the Eastlands gravy train. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:18:43 £12 million? That's a bit steep.
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:20:12 You forget, it's Manchester City. They will be the Chelsea of 2004 - without a league title.
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: yeo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:24:13 100k a week for 5 years at 28..
Hed be insane not to take it. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:26:43 100k a year for 5 years at 28.. Hed be insane not to take it. Not arguing with thatm but it sort of conflicts with his 'ambitious' reasons for wanting to leave last year - especially by joining a European-free club. I'd be very suprised if Manchester City passed Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United next season. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: yeo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:28:50 Man City have already said they will be very active in the transfer market,I can certainly see Arsenal being caught.
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: yeo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:30:20 Although theyve already said top 6 is the plan for next season anyway.
when I say "them" obviously I mean "we"... Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 18:43:38 When I say, you say, we say, they say, Man City!
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: RobertT on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:11:42 Word was that he was getting stupid £'s a week, he'd been promised that he will play all games he is fit for next season and they've shown him the list of players they intend on signing this summer. I guess Benitez's squad rotation didn't seem so appealing to him and I doubt he got past the £'s per week
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:15:38 they've shown him the list of players they intend on signing this summer. Surely that's just like opening up player search on Football Manager and sorting by value? Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:18:19 It seems like a sideways, if not backwards, step for him, but for the huge amounts of money. Hardly a surprise though - "top footballer in moving clubs for financial gain shock".
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:19:38 "top footballer in moving clubs for financial gain shock". Or "Man moves to better paid job" shock. I don't see why footballers are expected to live by different standards. It'd be nice if they did and all, but I don't see why everyone gets all moralistic about it. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:22:58 Or "Man moves to better paid job" shock. I don't see why footballers are expected to live by different standards. It'd be nice if they did and all, but I don't see why everyone gets all moralistic about it. I wasn't trying to moralise about footballers (although it did sound like it!) - was trying to make your point. Although there is an argument that the different between a wage at Villa and at Man City, while a big one, can't alter your life too much. After all, what can't you buy on £40,000 a week. Bet he's never been refused a credit card! Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: RobertT on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:23:21 I'd be off in a shot.
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Stef Troll on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:28:58 Kaka signed for Madrid apparently for £56 million
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:31:20 Kaka signed for Madrid apparently for £56 million Where did you here that one? If it's not on BBC Sport it's not news for me. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Stef Troll on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:33:40 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/
http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/breaking-news-world/kaka-signs-for-real-madrid--radio-20090603-buis.html Spanish radio talk though so may all be hype Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: stfctownenda on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:34:09 Where did you here that one? If it's not on BBC Sport it's not news for me. Its on Sky Sports news a Spanish radio station confirmed it although his agent (Kaka's dad) said there still in negotiations. The Milan chairman also said they would struggle to hold onto him due to the amounts of money involved. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:39:21 It's on AFP wire service, looking more possible.
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:41:59 It's on AFP wire service, looking more possible. I liked the quote they found from todays papers... Quote I'll tell you this for the last time, the very last. I don't want to leave Milan. To the millions of Milan fans, I tell you that I've made my choice. I've said I want to stay. Leave me in peace, please," Kaka "talking" to La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: Moose on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:48:56 As and La Gazzetta say Chelsea have entered the fray... Marca says its a done deal... It'll be interesting to see what happens...
Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City Post by: DMR on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 19:54:14 It seems like a sideways, if not backwards, step for him, but for the huge amounts of money. Hardly a surprise though - "top footballer in moving clubs for financial gain shock". Thoroughly appropriate as he can only pass and move backwards or sideways. I hate Barry, the most overrated player in the universe.

I hate Barry, the most overrated player in the universe. Change the record Dave, you hate everyone and all footballers are shit, we get it. Why do you like football at all if you hate everything about it? Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City (and Kaka to probably Real Madrid) Post by: DiV on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 20:14:57 come on, its clear DMR doesnt even watch football.
Gareth Barry has been the 2nd best midfielder in the Premiership over the last 2 seasons. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City (and Kaka to probably Real Madrid) Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 20:16:19 come on, its clear DMR doesnt even watch football. Gareth Barry has been the 2nd best midfielder in the Premiership over the last 2 seasons. Presuming Ronaldo is your second, Michael Essien cries into his tea. I know he's been injured, but he's that damn good anyway. Edit: And Fat Frank, Gerrard, Alonso, Fabregas and the rest. Although I can see where you're coming from, 2nd is exaggerating slightly. Title: Re: Gareth Barry joins Manchester City (and Kaka to probably Real Madrid) Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 20:17:17 And then there's Gerrard. And Lampard. Both have had better seasons than Barry. Sorry DV but disagree with that.
