O'Neill Doesn't Think Barry Should Move

Liverpool didn't say that Gerrard has a number of years left to run on his contract, this is what we said, " The idea is complete rubbish, fantasy, there has been no approach and no bid.” O'Neill still throwing his toys out of the pram I guess.

that gerrard is a puff.

Gerrard has never even left Merseyside other than away games and that was on the coach. Barry was a Spuz fan as a youngster and isn't so Royston Vasey like with hair growing half way down his forehead. He wants to discuss the situation with his manager and if we hadn't made Europe today he would be on his way 100%. Rafa is the one throwing his toys around after the Klinsman discussions. As for coming out with what he did before the season had finished, absolutely disgraceful.

Typical f***ing scouser, his manager tries to unsettle a player contracted to another club and when That player's manager objects the scouse ******** comes on here mad-mouthing him.

jonah, How did I bad-mouth Barry?

*meant

Villan444, The bid was before we went out of the CL, and we weren't guaranteed fourth position then. As with our boring football, we're the top scoring English club in all competitions, scoring 119 goals in 59 games, an average of two goals each game. It's true that we haven't won the league in a long while, but it's still better than Villa. When did you last win the league, or a trophy for that matter?

We're only four goals behind Villa in the league, and we didn't have the luxury of playing one game a week for most of the season as you did. If you qualify for the Uefa cup next season we'll see how you'll do in the league after playing in Europe midweek.

With Barry we'll do well, and without Barry we'll still do well. Nobody is irreplaceable, as we've all seen over the years, both at Villa and with other clubs. Remember everyone's shock horror that Henry was leaving the Arse? In my opinion they have a much better team now than when he was last in it. And remember Villa before Yorkie left, and before Platt left - it was all doom and gloom then too. Chill!

JD: Firstly, if no LFC official talked to the press, why was MON having to confirm or deny whether your club had made a bid? This wasn't the press just fishing - they had heard some solid chatter from the grapevine, and that only came from one place. I'll give you three guesses where but it wasn't B6. Are you honestly telling us MON started this himself because we want to get rid of Barry? Forgive me but that really is bloody daft. And who was your man talking to when he said "O'Neill knows my idea and I know his", and implying they had had a continuous dialogue for the past weeks? And what about all the chat about players we might be swapping? More total crap from RB. As for "You won't find any quote from a Liverpool official discussing Barry" - of course you won't. That's the whole problem. This was clearly a sneaky leak from the LFC tapping up machine, making life difficult for GB, which diminished our performance against Wigan, which pretty well made sure we wouldn't be in the UEFA cup so you had more chance of getting Barry. Which is why we're all so p****ed off with your club. Comprend?

well that's completely relevant....

Everton are a far better prospect than Liverpool. They are the team going forward in that area of the country..

BobTheBuilder, I gave an example of Liverpool being linked to Barcelona's LB Abidal by the Liverpool local press something that Liverpool subsequently denied. Like I said before, they get it more wrong than right, and Barry's speculation had no quote from a Liverpool official, it was only confirmed by O'Neill. Rafa never said he had a continuous dialogue for the past weeks, he said that he called O'Neill 20 days ago and discussed Barry's transfer with him. O'Neill himself said that Rafa offered a mishmash of Liverpool players in exchange for Barry, so he knows what Rafa's idea was, yet he denied knowing his idea's later on. Also, why would Liverpool help Everton reach the Uefa cup? and if you think that reaching the Uefa cup would prevent Barry from leaving Villa and go to a club that will play in the CL then you're the one who's being daft. O'Neill is the one talking crap. He talked crap when he said that he didn't know Rafa's idea, where the mishmash of Liverpool players quote came from then? He talked crap when he said that Rafa said that they had a continuous dialogue for the past weeks, Rafa never said that. He talked crap when he said that the first thing Liverpool came out with was that Gerrard has a number of years left to run on his contract after Inter bid for him. We said no such thing, in fact there was no bid from Inter. I can only presume that he's doing this just to put pressure on Barry so that he won't leave, which is pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Lets be honest JohnDoe your clearly a passionate Liverpool fan! We are equally passionate about Villa. We will naver know who said what to whom and when, who leaked to the papers etc. But Martin O'Neil does his business behind closed doors as a rule (which can be frustrating) because as fans we all want to know who we're signing. So going by O'Neil's track record I tend to believe him. The Flip sign of that is Liverpool tend to air there washing in public. Take the Board room antics as an example. Also I seem to remember a public bid for Hienze (excuse the spelling). So based on those theories I think I'll stick with MON if you don't mind!!!!

Oh yeah and build a new ground. that my friend is a big ask!!!!! But I admire your confidence, reckless thou it maybe, but I admire it none the less.

I Think the question is will Liverpool be consistent enough to hang onto 4th place? There is a lot of issues at Liverpool that could derail the whole opperation. It was evident that the problems were having an impact on the players not so long ago. Will they manage to put all the issues to one side and concentrate? That is the big question. when I was a boy Liverpool was a Bastian of the english game. This is not the Liverpool that I grew to admire.
