He's not denying it anyway!Originally Posted by reder
"I can guarantee today that we are not thinking about selling anyone. All we are thinking about is to do our job and to try and win the Premier League title, if possible.
"After that you never know what can happen in the market. Clearly, at this moment, we are just preparing for winning games."
Parry admitted he'd f'ed up the Gerrard Situation, and do you really think RB would have sold Keane after 6 months if he really was the driving force behind buying him. Why on earth do you think he had over 10 drafts of a new contract before he signed
I'm not an RB apologist either
Both fall under the heading of boardroom games. As does the countless times that he brought his contract talks into the public forum.
Not that it makes any difference but I think it was Ronaldo that supported him and not Rooney. It has been absolute madness on United's part. He's been a crucial part of his success since he arrived, not to mention the illicit miracles he produced at West Ham.
Why is this in the Pool section? would they even be able to afford him?

Being linked with Liverpool for months now. They won't buy him it will be another 2 year loan if they did hence they could afford him.
Ya I have heard it being mentioned alright just wasn't sure how realistic it was. If it's true about his family not settling, Merseyside would hardly be the ideal destination. I'm hopeful enough that United will pin him down, could be blind optimism though.
Is there no end to this guy letting himself down?

Funny how he was talking about the ridiculous money being spent whilst unveiling Glen Johnson.
This is my favourite bit - "I won't say too much but clearly it was 100 per cent for money". Way to bite your tongue Rafa!!

What's wrong with speaking the truth? My favourite bit is -
"He is like the president of England"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reckon its Rafa upping the ante, you know, raising the price and feigning interest
I'd a feeling it'd turn into a Pool v United discussion alright. I genuinely had time for Benitez before last season. Thought he just focused on Liverpool and didn't get to the petty stuff like Ferguson, Winger or Mourinho. I think he actually after surpassing those guys in the last year though. In fairness Barry was pretty much messed around by Liverpool last summer (although not by Rafa) so you could hardly blame him for cashing in this summer and avoid all the agro. I don't think it's any of Rafa's business why Barry chose City and he definitely shouldn't be cutting him up to the press just cos he's bitter.
I love the Alonso Comments, this is the same Alonso Rafa was touting around Europe last summer to try & get the funds to buy Barry who'd spent the rest of his time tapping up!!!!
The guy is a grade A ______. let's go for hypocrite as this is a family show
Could have sworn he was asked about Barry in the press conference yesterdayWhat should he say when asked? That Barry moved to City for Champions League football??
Ahh sure no harm in speaking the facts

He gets to you anyway FACT
Something along the lines of-
He's a good player and we would have liked him here, but it wasn't to be
Do you just back Rafa up for the sake of it or do you actually believe he handles every situation perfectly? I support United but can see when Ferguson is acting the maggot, which has been a lot over the years.
So he should tell lies?? Barry said he would only leave for Champions league footballWho's telling porkie pies then
Your a Utd supporter would never have guessed
How is saying what I suggested telling lies, he is a good player, Liverpool did want him and it didn't happenSo he should tell lies?? Barry said he would only leave for Champions league football
Ok Barry did say he wanted Champions League football but that was obviously just to have an explanation for the Villa fans, when really he just wanted to move on after countless seasons of underachievement. Although City don't have Champions League football I think their billions do promise exciting times for the club.
Maybe I do have a natural, unintentional bias on certain things but at least I try to see things objectively.Your a Utd supporter would never have guessed

If you honestly think Barry went to City for anything other then money well then your fooling yourself.
Next you'll be telling me Terry is considering City because he want's a fresh challenge.
Players who move far anything other than monetary reasons are few and far between.
Correct.
Of course he left Villa for City for the money but I'm not as sure that he would have snubbed Liverpool for that reason alone. He obviously wanted to join Liverpool last season and I think he would have if they hadn't f*cked him around, even if City offered him more money at that stage. However, with Liverpool indecisive and City offering him an amazing amount of money he decided to cash in and I don't blame him.
