Barry is a good player but very much a big fish for aston villa and the leader, so makes him a stand out player for them... Similar to Xabi alonso but in my opinion:

Xabi Alonso > Barry

Juventus sign Xabi Alonso for £16 million
Friday 30 May 2008

Liverpool have persuaded Juventus to part with £16 million for out-of-favour midfielder Xabi Alonso, which means that Benitez can now increase his offer to Aston Villa for Gareth Barry.

Juventus originally offered £12 million for the Spanish international, who is with Spain for the Euro2008 tournament at the moment.

Rafael Benitez will be overjoyed that with the extra money received he can up the bid for Barry, who wants at least £15 million for his star player by Martin O'Neill, and has refused to to negotiate. Even then he will leave the final decision to Barry.

Barry is with the England team in Trinidad for a friendly, where he has been named captain.

Juventus sign Xabi Alonso for £16 million ??? this is very high price for this player who IMO is not needed in juve since we already have sissoko,zanetti and tiago.

The thing is that we NEED that position and I think Xabi is worth it.

Sissoko is destroyer and we need someone with good passing and it's hard to find someone better then Xabi.

Tiago is probably on his way out.

We've become a Liverpool rejects club, next thing you know we're signing Crouch and Carson.
But I don't mind Xabi, the guy is incredible.

:howler: Do you know what are you talking about? Zanetti is not better than Xabi, nor younger. Sissoko is a destroyer while Xabi is more a central midfielder. And Tiago will probably be sold.

I never liked Crouch, but he is so difficult player to play against, and almost always scores..Still would never want him at juve.
Xabi is the one we need.
Re Tiago, yes, that suppose to be his job but he is nowhere near the quality of Xabi.
