PodcastsAston Villa boss Martin O'Neill insists skipper is worth more than Liverpool's £10m valuation for the player.
And so, another season ends. And to be perfectly honest, Im both glad and horrified that its over.
It's easy to get annoyed when we lose to Fulham. It's also very easy when you've won three on the bounce and scored fifteen goals, to get carried away.
What's also very easy, is to forget about what is happening at Aston Villa Football Club, which is why it's nice to use the little search box on the site and look back every now and then.
Team news ahead of Saturday's Premier League match.
Martin O'Neill insists Liverpool have undervalued Aston Villa skipper Gareth Barry at £10million as he reiterated his determination to try to keep the England midfielder.
You want to play with big boys you've got to play by their rules. If Peter Crouch wants £80,000 a week and Martin O'Neill sees him as an integral part of our assault on the top four, them I'm afraid he's got to pay it.
Let's put it another way, if we can get top four football with players all earning £40,000 a week then that's what we'd do, but the simple truth is we won't be able to.
If there was ever a time we needed to go to London and get three points, this Sunday is it. Defeat could, if results go against us, see us finishing in eight place with no European football, of any description, for next season.
We've come close this season against Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea but it's yet to happen under Martin O'Neill. Yet to happen since 2004 I think.
It's that time of year when we're all sweating on whether the big four will come in for our A-list players. Will Barry go to Anfield? Is O'Neill good enough and persuasive enough to keep Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonlahor at Villa Park? Is the Chairman prepared to back these excellent players' ambitions with the necessary cash to see Villa mount a serious challenge for trophies next season?
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill and midfielder Gareth Barry will hold talks over the England international's future early next week.
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill will hold further talks with Liverpool target Gareth Barry after Sunday's final Premier League clash with West Ham.
