Gareth Barry is a City player!!!!

City have now confirmed via the official website that Gareth Barry will be a Manchester City player next season.

City have paid £12 million for the England International and have given him a 5 year contract.

This signing will be seen as a real sign of our intent, we have signed one of the most highly rated midfielders in the country and have done it in a very shrewd style.

I am glad that we are showing people we mean business, if we don't take this kind of stance all the time we will become a joke.

I am quite excited about this signing now it has happened, I think it is because I was expecting a little uncertainty when it came to signing players. I thought maybe we would be a last resort for a lot of bigger players who would use us for a pay day if they didn't get their big move elsewhere, but it seems that Hughes is doing something right behind the scenes.

Are we happy? I am!

  4. hold your horses matey, how much is he getting 'played' again? save your comments for your own team you illiterate knob-jockey. as an aside, why would you continue to play for a team who put up no fight to hold on to him when a bid came in from the mickeys, not only that but banned him from training and fined him? it was time to move on but not to a club who only valued him the same as steve finnan and sami hyypia. besides we are building up to a world cup year and we can guarantee this guy first team football.

  7. I am absoloutley delighted.

    Barry is a quality player who will no doubt help us in our quest for a top 4 spot next season.

    Hopefully Barry will be followed by the likes of Tevez and Villa in the door at Eastlands!
