Signing of the Summer: Gareth Barry


During this, a summer with my (educated right) feet up, I've had some time to think about the transfers that have taken place. I've come to the conclusion that Gareth Barry, at only £12 million, will prove an absolute steal for Man City.

True, I say this as a City fan. But I say it with a level, impartial head. I think we've wasted a lot of our money this summer, buying Class B players at Class A prices. But at only £12 million, Barry is a Class A player for a Class B price. Pittance, really, when you consider we spent almost £20 million on Brazilian flop Jo, whose name spelt backwards seems to almost make OG.

Gareth Barry has consistently proved himself to be one of the best five midfielders in the Premiership, and will provide the leadership that City, I had feared, would sorely lack. An absolute certainty for any Fantasy Football Leagues this season, that's for sure.

While we're on the subject, why not join the Fantasy League over at Football Corner, and be in with a chance of winning a prize.
