QPR and Stoke to battle for Gareth Barry's signature after Man City release

[SuperHoopNik]

Barry was exceptional last term at Goodison Park and proved that, in spite being let go by City, he can still cut it.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes, who in 2009 took Barry from Aston Villa to City for £12million, would love to bring him to the Britannia Stadium as he continues to transform the Potters squad.

And Sparky is not alone in his admiration of the player as QPR counterpart Harry Redknapp is also monitoring developments.

After steering the Hoops back into the Premier League via the play-offs, Redknapp is desperate to add reinforcements.

Would be a good signing but can we really afford his wage considering he is coming from the most highly paying club?

Anyweay bigger clubs than us and Stoke will snap him up. Perhaps Everton again.

no way........slower than a one legged centipede!

[stan_bowles]

Wages gonna be way too high for us.

[Factamondo]

hate if we go this way again after tf,s proclaimations!

[Nick]

Wages gonna be way too high for us.

For this reason alone it's a big NO for me, please please please lets not go down that road again!!!

Surely Everton will want him, did well for them as he had a young side with energy around him.
Just couldn`t see him fitting in our team as it stands.
Good player but just not for me.

It's just all pointless speculation, lazy column filling stuff with no hard news whatsoever.

[qblockoompah]

Good player

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Quality player but 100% on top top dollar.

Can't see this happening & wouldn't want us to start that pattern again.

[stainrodisalegend]

wd walk into our team with one leg but never going to happen

I think the Press are just tacking the letters QPR to every player that Everton , stoke and chelsea are linked with. the latest being some Portuguese winger at galatasary. Brouma.

Just lazy journalism.

Quality player eh? He's good but can't be "quality" otherwise he'd be on a new contract at City and going to Brazil.

Still, if he did sign for us, he might help us to go "top top" of the league in repayment for his "top top dollar" wages.

Sorry for taking the gypsy's mate but it seems people can't comment on football these days without saying quality

Not at all. What constitutes a "quality" signing for newly promoted QPR is quite different for a club that wants to win the Premier League.
