Gareth Barry 300
GARETH BARRY claimed last night he had no worries about swapping title-chasing Liverpool for mid-table Manchester City – and that he believes he can turn Mark Hughes’s side into title contenders.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez thought he had agreed a deal for Barry to join his Premier League runners-up from Aston Villa this summer.
But Barry produced a remarkable U-turn and completed a £12million switch to Eastlands instead.
He insists, however, he is not thinking about what might have been.
“It’s completely out of my mind, worrying about Liverpool and what could have been. That’s all in the past,” he said.
“This season it’s a different situation. Manchester City have had a bid accepted for me and they made me feel wanted.”
Barry believes he can turn City from mid-table inconsistents into a team capable of rivalling Liverpool for a title challenge next season.
He added: “You have seen the type of players Manchester City are able to attract, like Robinho.
