Really shows Barry's character. It would have been acceptable if he had left for champions league football after being a long servant for the club it would have been fair to leave if he could not get the level of football he desires at Villa. it is clear he is only interested in the money. Villa were preparing a huge contract for him, granted they can't compete with City but it would have been more than he deserves and I believe with him Villa would still be closer to Champions League football than City. I am very glad we missed out if this is his attitude.
As for Alonso, if we lose him it will be a huge step backwards, there will be no replacement. Everything must be done to keep him, if we lose him it will be an absolute travesty.
