Keeping Barry is Villa's priority

Keeping Gareth Barry at the club is Aston Villa's top priority this summer - and not bringing in new players. Liverpool are considering a move for the England midfielder.

He said: "Trying to keep Gareth Barry at the football club will be the most important thing that we're trying to do in the summertime.

"A player of Gareth's undoubted quality and ability would take some replacing so keeping him at Aston Villa is as important as anything we do in the transfer market."

Villa have already rejected a rumoured £10 million offer from Barry, and O'Neill hit out at the club for trying to unsettle the player.
