I am a proud blue to have Phil Neville as club captain. He is a model professional and an excellent role model for the younger players. He overcame a potential career ending illness as a teenager to excel at the top of professional football and I hope he can top his career with us with a trophy or two. I also hope he sees a continuing career in management with the blues after he finishes playing as he has so much to offer the game. The good times are long overdue for the Blues and I think Phil is the man to deliver.........

Eddie, Eddie, I presume you have some evidence to prove how the reds "used the media" to engineer or "tap up" Barry as you put it. I would love to see your idea of "media",the sun? (a plague on them scum and their readers) The only time I have heard Rafa even mention Barry was on TV when he said " We are aware of Barry, he is a good player no? But he is at another club. Maybe we can do something." Hardly Machevellian scheming. The quiet from Liverpool is deafening and I wouldnt be surprised if the whole Barry thing is being used as a distraction while Rafa goes about the transfers he really wants.The Liverpool way. How things stay the same eh?

I see Martin O'neil is at it again -this time telling the world that Liverpool dont want Barry as much as he wants them-what absolute rubbish!! Martin O'neil is totally responsible for the transfer not going through with his greed and overpricing the player. Where do these guys come up with these valuations from -any player is only worth the value of his contract-its time for people like O'neil to stop over inflating prices when it suits them and leave the money in the game instead of quoting ridiculous amounts of money for very average players.

LFC used the media to tap up Barry. People are not questioning the move, only how the move has been made. Big 4 teams are bound to use the Madrid style of signing these days. LFC used to be the model of proper club conduct; discreet, dealing behind the scenes, not publicly exposing their dirty laundry through the press like they have since the yanks took over. How things change eh?

Glad to see there is still some loyalty in football! Not only is there the fact that Barry wants to join Liverpool, What about Ronaldo going to Madrid? To be honest, if their not loyal, they don't deserve to be at their clubs, who, although im a Portsmouth fan, both have fantastic teams. Yes Liverpool are legendary. But they are always expected to do well and always fail. Villa have more to build on and with their history, they could finish fifth or sixth with a few new signings. Anyway... Congrats Phil, a true ledgend in my opinion!

as I recall latex, all he said in the press was "It is disappointing to me, while villa say they want me to stay I havent heard from the manager in THREE weeks, but he had time to be a pundit for the bbc" hardly a "murder" as to being deluded you may be correct, every time I see them 5 big eared cups in the museum I get deleriously deluded. A big club have come in for a player of yours. Get over it.

Brilliant! Another 4 years of Neville. fromadistance, how short your memory is. Barry has served you for all his professional career and has decided to move to a club playing regular champions league football in the hope of winning something for once in his career. Give the lad a break, he was legendary for you, you should wish him well and stop the whinging like your manager who has lost any respect he might have once had had throughout the game. At least Barry went through the proper channels in asking for a move unllike the exploits of brats like Ronaldo and Adebayor.

Villa fan - top pro and a credit to the game. Perhaps he could help us out and explain genuine loyality to Gareth Barry.

United fan in Peace, wish we didn't sell the guy. Phil is the definition of loyalty and I'm sure he'll end up with Legendary status at your club as he did ours. Theres not many players like that these days, and I'm glad he's playing an important part for another great side. Peace
