Barry happy he stayed at Villa

Gareth Barry has revealed that he has forgotten the fact he did not join Liverpool already. Barry stayed at Aston Villa despite the long term interest of Barry by Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez.

"The Liverpool thing seems a few years ago now," Barry said in the Daily Mirror.

"Me and the manager are both professional people who want the best for Villa and my relationship with the manager is very good.

"It can go through your head what others have done to get away from a club, but that was just not the reputation I would have wanted."
