Vital Villa asked, in a poll suggested by Young_Jonah,
Would You Sell Gareth Barry?
78% said no,it sends out the wrong signals
7% were more realistic saying that the club would have no choice if Barry wants to go. Lets face it, the power is with the players these days, Dwight Yorke proved that when he was told he couldn't leave for Manchester United so conducted himself with no honour at all on the pitch walking around without any interest at all. He got his way and off he went. 7% said they would sell Barry if the £12million fee was offered and another 7% said they'd let him go but only for a higher fee.
That left just 1% unsure.
Our latest poll asks for your predictions for the Villa v Blues game. I've worded it so the bluenoses can also vote because last time we had an invasion with votes for us to lose!

I voted No, though the wording made me uneasy about doing so. Has very little to do with sending out signals of any sort, just because it would be a huge loss to us and a massive gain to whoever got him, despite what anyone else may think. glen has got a new "be negative about everything and then it'll all go the other way" policy that seems to be working well, so I'll go with that.
