Yeah, Teddy Sheringham was in his 30s when he joined UtdI wouldn't say ageing either, 28 is the perfect age for a striker, that's the age when they reach their peak.
LIVERPOOL are refusing to give up on signing Gareth Barry despite Aston Villa's insistence that the deal is now off.
A day of complex talks was brought to a halt by Villa at 5pm yesterday, according to the terms of a deadline imposed by the Midlands club.
That was despite the fact Liverpool had met Villa's financial demands for Barry, as laid out in written correspondence between the two clubs.
A cash plus player deal was agreed and those closest to the transfer expected the 27-year-old to finally get his move to Anfield.
But on Tuesday afternoon – as Liverpool arrived in Valencia for last night's friendly against Villarreal – Reds officials learned that Villa had decided to change the payment schedule.
With Villa's arbitrary 5pm deadline fast approaching, Liverpool asked for a further 48 hours to be able to put the necessary finance structure in place with their banks to meet the new demands but this request was refused.
Villa, whose manager Martin O'Neill criticised Liverpool for doing business in public at the start of this long running saga, then put a statement out on their official club website stating the deal was off.
You lot are looking pretty solid now. I think you'll really challenge this year.
Let's hope so, anyways. Can't see us winning, but hopefully a title challenge till April/May, and 2nd/3rd. That would make me happy.
Is Barry reaaly a top class player that is gonna add so much to team and raise them to another level?
Liverpool challenging for the title is a funny subject, In reality looking at your squad, style of play etc seems like you will challenge but for some reason i still can see you lot slipping away come Christmas, I think now its more psychological rather than the quality of the players.
The info I have is that, they now want Barry to throw in a transfer request so Villa dont look stupid. This is Barrys last resort, he will not do this as it looks like Villa will win.
He will be a Liverpool player one way or another by the end of next week by the sounds of things"
