Why Gareth Barry???

Question

Why did Benitez signed him when LFC already has Mascherano and Alonso?!

Answer 1

They haven't signed him - they signed bloby keane now they can't afford Barry

Answer 2

for the same reason they signed Villa even though they already have Torres

Answer 3

They're only gnna buy him now if they sell alonso as they don't have any more money.

replacement i surpose?

They only wanted him so bad in the first place because Gerrard recomended him.

And what Gerrard wants, Gerrard gets, hes become bigger than the club.

Its kinda the same as what happened with Arsenal and Henry and the same as whats happening with United and Ronaldo.

Hes also wayy over priced cos hes English.

Hes worth £15 Mil VERY VERY TOPS!

Answer 4

It's a good question - one I've asked myself. Barry is a good midfielder but look at what Liverpool already have; Gerrard, Mascherano and Alonso. In the event of injury, they can call on Lucas (not great but a good enough fringe player) or Plessis who seems to be making good progress.

Another top midfielder would support Rafa's rotation policy which is one I'm not a great fan of.
