Liverpool have today made a bid believed to be worth £10 million in total for Aston Villa and England midfielder Gareth Barry.
The Villa captain has been a linked with a move to the Reds for some time now and it would appear now that their interest is indeed concrete.
It has also been speculated in recent days that Liverpool will offer a few players for the 27-year old and that may well be part of the offer that sees Barry move to Anfield.
Barry is a terrific player and it doesn't surprise me one bit to see the likes of Liverpool interested in him.
I feel he would be capable of playing Champions League football and I do think Liverpool would be getting a player that has the capabilities to strike a devastating partnership with Gerrard in the centre of Liverpool's midfield.
