Aston Villa team-mate thinks Barry should go to Liverpool
May 5, 2008
In fact, Patrik Berger has said that the midfielder would ‘be mad’ to pass up the opportunity to sign on at Anfield, according to The Sun. Despite Rafael Benitez’s best efforts to try and keep schtum about Liverpool’s £10million bid for the England international last week, it’s clear that the Reds are keen to sign Gareth Barry as they continue to build a title-challenging squad on Merseyside.
The Czech midfielder, 34, said: “If I was in Gareth’s position I would go there tomorrow.
“It is the opportunity of a lifetime — Liverpool don’t come after you every year.
“He is the heart of our team and it would be a massive challenge for him.
“I’m not surprised they want to sign him. He has had a fantastic season and was our main player from the beginning to the end.”
Surely this is a done deal? After all, the player himself has talked about furthering his ambitions and being selfish when it comes to next career steps. Martin O’Neill has talked about his uncertainty of keeping his captain and Liverpool are super-keen. Will Arsene Wenger also start sniffing around now that it’s clear that Mathieu Flamini is jumping ship?

What position is rafa looking at playing him?It looks to me that xabi alonso will be heading back to spain this summer.And Riise’ days are numbered,so he can obviously make a difference in the team.Havent seen much of him to be honest here in far away australia.
i hope Barry will bring victory for Liverpool soon enough! Barry tries not to be bighead after transfer to Liverpool and play for the best of the best and work hard in midfielder position though!!!~~
I think that Gareth Barry should come to Liverpool he will never get a better team than liverpool to offer for him he wants to be in the champions league next year so he should come to liverpool and replace pennant,crouch,and not John Arne Riise if you give him a chance he can be brilliant
berger was a great servant and is right. barry is never going to play in champs lge with villa.
