Barry keen on an Arsenal switch
He is not young, he is proven quality, a central midfielder, Premier League proven and he is English!
One would usually expect another 20-25 year old to be linked with Arsenal but this time it’s 28 year old Gareth Barry.
The Englishman was linked with Liverpool and Arsenal last summer and same is the case this year. But this time around he himself wants a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal lacks a quality partner to Cesc Fabregas and Barry could prove to be exactly that. And at the reported £12m price tag, he is not as expensive as one would expect. It is being quoted that Wenger is looking to bid for him. Lets hope he does. I would love to see Barry at Arsenal.
But is he exactly what we need. More of a holding midfielder… Cana seemed a good choice. But looking at video of him it seemed his tackles are too rough and you can’t get away with them in the Premier League. Lets wait and see who Arsene goes for. Who do you think would be a better choice?
Arsene Knows Best!

Barry Knows the Perm very well. I’ve seen the Cana Videos and don’t think he’ll adapt to the Prem very easily. What’s the point of having a player suspended all the time through having so many yellow cards? Barry is my choice.

I think Barry would be a good addition to our team. So here is how i picture it should he arrive:
Eduardo/Vela Betner/New signing
Arshavin Cesc Walcott/New signing
Kolo/Song Barry/Nasri
Clichy/Gibbs Gallas/ Djorou Eboe/Sagna
Almunia/New Signing

if we sign him ( 3-1 against on my book) i suspect in might be a part-exchange with (examples only!) someone like a vela, diaby, gallas, senderos, possibly even denilson or another player going to villa.
otherwise sw will blow all his budget on one player and we need a centre back too!!!

Cana is more of a wrestler than a football player. He is sure to get a yellow every game and that means a red is just around the corner. Barry would be a good choice, if there are only the two available.

He’s brilliant. Wenger must do it but he is stubborn. Come on Gareth, we want you.

There was no quote by him in the paper. Shocking article if there is no evidence of him saying that. Check your facts before writing this garbage
