Delboy himself, Harry Redknapp has approached Villa about a possible swap deal involving John Carew and Robbie Keane according to reports today. But what for the real shocking part about this story – they want Carew and cash for Robbie Keane.
Im sorry but is there something im missing here? Why would we want to allow John Carew to leave for Robbie Keane? Yes i would take Robbie Keane at the Villa if the price was right for Villa – but i wouldnt allow John Carew to go, just like i said a few days ago, I wouldnt allow Emile Heskey to leave.
And a story i heard late last night, so theres a chance you may have already heard about this one. Apparently Gareth Barry wants out of Manchester City and wants to return to Villa Park. How much truth is in this? To be honest im not sure. There is a strong rumour that his wife still lives in Birmingham, why hes living in Manchester.
With Roberto Mancini coming in, apparently he doesnt rate the England international and thats the reason why he is about to sign Patrick Viera.
Would i take Gareth back? I think we would be stupid not to. But i would never pay him the wages hes earning at Manchester City. And i think he realises this. I do think he could end up at Spurs, but then again if his wife won’t move out of her Birmingham home to move to Manchester, why would she do it to move to London?
