Parry and Benitez hold clear the air talks

£18m for Barry is over priced, the yanks are right

Over priced yes.....value for money ?.......we'll never know until he puts on a Liverpool shirt, so maybe we never will.

I mean Drogba was over priced when the Chav's bought him........but he has certainly ended up being value for money.

Yeah it's all down to what you believe I suppose but Rafa said that the money was there quite recently, way after we signed Keane but said it "wasn't a question of money."

I blame the internet, without it I wouldn't have a clue any of this **** was going on.

I can't help but think there isn't as much money available as the Yanks are making out. The price was set by Villa in April/May why did it taken until August for them to decide he wasn't worth the money. The saga has been dragged out as long as possible in the how the deadline will pass without us having time to put a big money deal together.

I think they were what you would call 'negotiating' Villa set their price but that does not mean thats the price that will be paid.

Unfortunately we probably had Parry leading our negotiations

because until recently rafa had led his board to believe that alonso was worth more than barry.

Is it though? He's keeping Carrick and Hargreaves our of the England team and they went for similar amounts.
