MON HAS TURNED THIS TEAM AROUND IN TWO YEARS AND­ ALTHOUGH WE DIDNT FINISH IN THE TOP FOUR IT WAS A BIG­ IMPROVEMENT AND SOMETHING FOR US TO BUILD ON NEXT­ SEASON.
I SAY GOOD LUCK TO GARETH BARRY WHO HAS GIVEN­ US GOOD SERVICE OVER A DECADE AND HAS BEEN THE MOST­ CONSISTENT PLAYER OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
GOOD LUCK­ GARETH AND PLEASE DONT SCORE AGAINST US NEXT SEASON­ :)
VILLA TILL I DIE!

Man C can buy any players with the money they have, but­ they cannot buy HONOURS!!!

I think the move was good for all parties, but I­ thought it a swipe at Villa when he said that he wanted­ to go to a club with a real chance of winning­ something. This was uncalled for. I don't see­ that MC have any greater chance of winning anything­ than AV do next season. We will strengthen in The­ Summer and it looks like MC will totally overhaul their­ squad. However good the players they are bringing in­ it will take time to gel and if they are to really­ compete at the top of the table they will have to­ overhaul again the following season, because so far­ they have bought high quality premiership players, but­ not World class.

GARETH BARRY: WHAT A @#$%

You'll go stale alright with NO European football­ next year and little chance of that the following year­ either.
Maybe you will get a few outings in the league­ cup run but this will have to fit in with the rotation­ system Hughes is going to have to maintain to keep his­ "superstars" happy.
Advice, from a Villa­ supporter who is actually sorry to see you go, get a­ cushion!because you could be sitting a long time on the­ bench in the next two seasons, before you move again.

so its ok 4 the villa 2 @#$% in and offer the likes of­ ashley young n heskey bigger contracts 2 get thr man­ but nt city who would nt want 2 dbl thr money i would­ good signing 4 city 6 more and they mite b onto a­ winner

@19: it's an AC/DC song from The Razor's Edge­ album. Just in case you were wondering. :)

no.17 ... no. I heard the song 'dirty cash' by­ stevie v which includes the lyric 'money talks,­ money talks' but i have never heard of a song­ called 'money talks'.

Look Gareth Barry did what every employee would have­ done, after all football is a profession as well. Being­ scouted is the same as being head hunted and usually­ when you are head hunted you are offered better wages­ and benefits in joining another company. That is what­ Barry did. Good for him.

EVER HEARD THE SONG MONEY TALK'S WELL THERE YOU GO.

man city challenge for to win major honours?!lmfao i­ bet the greedy prik jus went there for the money

of course barry, fear of losing appetite. so you walk­ away on your mates because you are one selfish pig.­ surely at city they will stuff you until you get your­ appetite back. pathetic man. and i have to watch these­ unethical valueless footballers wear england's­ jersey. i would rather spit than cheer for this guy­ now.

Thank god Barry's gone to 'Moneybags Manchester­ City'. To think that the tubby Spanish petulant one­ wanted to sign him! Mind you, he's English. I hope­ the great O'Neill is glad he's gone. I hope­ that when the tubby Spanish petulant one leaves Anfield­ the great O'Neill will apply for the job.

He's obviously not a very intelligent young­ man.
The letter is full of hypocrisy and serves as a­ very poor excuse for jumping ship.
He needs to change­ his PR team.

Seems to me there are a lot of unrealistic supporters­ out there and a few who have had there noses put out­ too. Barry has done what most people would have done­ in getting his wage doubled and a better­ possibility(courtesy of billions of pounds) of helping­ break the strangle hold the top four have on the­ premiership. Don't forget Villa fans, he has been­ at your club for 12 years and has little to show for­ this time. He is now gambling that City have the­ better chance to challenge for the honours in the next­ few years and that is not being disrespectful to other­ mid table side's either. After all it is money­ that has always talked, so Wake up everyone, this is­ the real world we are living in and in the real world,­ we would all have taken the wage hike!!

i hope that barry will not stay a long in manchetser­ city !!!!!!!

thanks for the letter

Thanks for the decade plus of service... at least we­ can all just move on from here...

At least Man C will­ somehow satisfy your desire to be as "fresh"­ as possible... Camels milk anyone???

UTV...

Theres only one gerady b-a-s-t-a-r-d, one gready­ b-a-s-t-a-r-d!!!
