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

Would be a great signing,but IMO,we should be looking at players with a £50k absolute max salary.

Plenty prem fringe players and top drawer Championship players available for well under that wage.

huddlestone/snodgrass/dembele.....all better options imho!

I'd take him if there was a possibility of a deal but I can't see it.

In any case, whoever we sign should have in their contracts a certain salary for the prem and another if we get relegated.

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

So quality player as in potential signing for QPR & quality player for a club who've spent a BILLION pounds.

You get the difference right?

Top player with the right attitude. one of the stand out players in a team who finished top 5. So hes more than good enough just again personally for me money could be spent better elsewhere imo. Really hoping all these links to ageing players are just rumours.

Would love it if we went for Huddlestone.

Barry did well last year but he was playing in a good Everton side next to James McCarthy, who helped him out a lot. I reckon he'd struggle playing next to Barton
