Barry off to WBA!? Gutted if true better than besic and McCarthy.

hope not still got something offer for me, besic and mccarthy nothing special and both never fit besic has only played about 8 games in 3 years, barry been here 3 years never injured and can still control a midfield with Gueye.

Berkshireblue, entitled to your opinion mate. Besic if free from injury, is a superb player.

He's been a great servant to the club so it will be sad if he leaves. You can understand it from his perspective though as he is in the twilight of his career now and will get more regular game time at WBA than he will with us.

So good luck to him.

Perhaps this is one reason for the hold up with the sig deal. Swansea want chadli from the baggies to replace sig and maybe barry replacing chadli was the trigger for the sig deal to go through. Fingers crossed .

really sad to see him go, controls a game from that central role really well, besic is superb on his day btw tenascious and aggressive perfect for the amount of games we will be playing, but barry imo would have been worth keeping hold of for this same reason.

This move is at the right time for both the club and the player. Gareth Barry is without doubt one of the premier leagues best ever player, but, he has lost that critical half a yard and, imho, slows the team down when he plays. Losing that little bit of sharpness and pace has him committing silly fouls and often his presence brings the performance down.

I wish him well as he has been a great player for us.

besic is a superb player seriously and what our u basing that on the 10 mins he's played for everton he has rob a living of everton when he play he just goes round kicking anyone he can find.

everytime besic has had a run in the team he has hardly put a foot wrong, Gary.

Besic if free from injury would be one of our best, fantastic player.

hardly put a foot wrong ok i give in, average at the very best, he is about 6 choice midfielder so unless were planning to sell 4 or 5 midfield he won't even get on the bench,

Don't know where you sit n the ground Gary but as wblue says every time he plays he doesn't put a foot wrong. I also said in my comment that 'if free from injury'.

Hearing Dendonker as a replacement for barry? Any eds know anything? Apparently keen on the move and guessing utd don't need him now they have matic. Would be class if we were in for him.

{Ed002's Note - I thought we were well beyond that now.}
