Half way through the season

Cruciate ligament.

Lucky to get a game before the end of the season. Just like Kone.

Barry took a pay cut as City are subsidising the rest as they are doing still with Adebayor for us.

Barry will have to take a pay cut,I can't see any team paying the wages he was on at City.

I agree, thats why City are still paying a few of the players who left years ago. Thing is with Barry's contract up City wont have to do that and there arent many players who will take huge cuts to join teams, admittedly Barry strikes me as more the type to do so than quite a few others. Could never see Ade doing that for us

Barry may have no other choice than to take a cut in pay as no-one was prepared to take Barry on due to his inflated wage.

Barry took a cut to play football. He is happy here and has made all the right noises about signing in the summer so......

He'll want a decent wage, but I think the length of Barry's contact will be more important. He's 32, his next move will probably be his last.

How much you think he would want alas?

Barry started his playing career as a CB I think,but due to his versitality he became a left back then central midfielder.

I can see him finishing up back as a CB before he retires,purely down to his reading of the game and his physique

How much you think he would want alas?

£50k-£60k maybe. If he wants more I can't see us paying it.

And that amount would be more than enough.....and the same Neville was earning. So we should be easily be able to afford that for a key player
