I always said that Villa or MON wont be bullied into selling Barry. And there was Rafa expecting us to obey his orders! Well sorry to disappoint you! MON knows what he's doing.
I think I mentioned somewhere before that we set a deadline for the £18m bid from Liverpool, we set the standard and Liverpool couldn't match that valuation in time; so the deal's off!
Martin O'Neill tonight spoke of his delight at the news Gareth Barry will be staying at Villa Park next season.
As we exclusively revealed earlier today, Villa set a deadline for Liverpool to pursue their interest in the England international. That deadline passed at tea-time and Barry will not be moving to Anfield.
O'Neill never gave up hope that Barry could be persuaded to stay and consistently reiterated his desire to keep the player.
Tonight the Villa boss told avfc.co.uk "Naturally we're all absolutely delighted that Gareth will be staying at Villa Park and relieved that there is resolution and closure to the transfer saga.
"At a very positive meeting on Monday it was agreed between Gareth, his agent, Mr Lerner and myself that a deadline should be communicated to Liverpool to finally resolve the situation.
"Liverpool were informed and that deadline came and passed. Now we can all look forward to the season ahead with relief, anticipation and ambition."

prices are very overinflated these days and blackburn have set a price tag on their player. so if other clubs want him that desparately they will meeet the asking price. thats what we did to liverpool over barry, but clearly the interested clubs would be detered by the asking price unless they raise the funds.
a lot of clubs would like to have bentley and there was competition for him even though paul ince wanted him to stay at the club. so of course, they would set a high fee, like villa want barry to stay and so therefore set a high fee for him too. same with ronaldo for united, robinho for real, kaka for milan.
