Snoop Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 ARSENAL have made a sensational 11th-hour move to hijack Gareth Barry’s move to Liverpool. The Mersey giants were locked in high-level talks with Aston Villa all day yesterday, as they haggled over the price for the Midlanders’ captain. But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger declared his own interest in midweek and Arsenal officials have contacted Villa to find out the latest position. While no official bid has been lodged, the Gunners are prepared to offer cash plus a fringe player like defender Justin Hoyte. Wenger would be able to increase his bid if Emmanuel Adebayor and Alex Hleb were to be sold, as they could bring in around £45m between them. He has long admired Barry and, having lost Mathieu Flamini to AC Milan and with Gilberto heading for Panathinaikos, has decided to act. Villa are holding out for £18m cash. If Arsenal agreed a deal, Barry would become their record buy. Liverpool do not want to go higher than £15m cash plus add-ons, which would take the eventual fee to £17m.

Mr Q Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Wenger wouldnt spend 17 mill on a 27 year old, never mind a 27 year old english man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davicious X Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Would he even fit the Arsehole style of play?Would Arsehole really pay that much money for an Englishman?Doubt this will happen, Barry is well past puberty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangTheDJ Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'd prefer him to go to Arsenal, the whole Liverpool thing has left a bad taste in my mouth between two clubs with great history who shouldn't really be waring with each other, we will never forgive the scousers if Barry lines up against us.+ I respect Arsenal's football and I don't want to hate Barry, but if I see him jumping on Gerrards back every photo-oppertunity I'll feel sick.AND I'll be able to say 'I told you so' to certain Arsenal fans when Barry shows you how good he really is .But, We'd want 13million + Hoyte I think, which probably wouldn't happen.

Capricious Beats Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Arsenal are swag, Barry is swag.Perfect match.He should sign Emile Heskey next and try and get Titas Bramble while he is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangTheDJ Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 According to some random bloke on a Villa site Arsenal are entitled to 50% of every £1 that Bentley gets sold for OVER £3 million.So... If Bentley went for £17million to us (which seems to be what we've bidded) then Arsenal would recieve £7million of that from Blackburn.So that 7million could go straight back into Barry by Arsenal (if you wanted him), with Hoyte and then you'd only be spending like 4-6million of your transfer budget on Barry....Is there any truth in that 50% over 3million clause in Bentleys deal Arsenal fans?Could work out good for all of us.Blackburn get 10million, Arsenal get Barry for a pittance, we get Bentley + Hoyte and some money...If only things were that simple.
