Liverpool are to exchange Peter Crouch and Paul Carson in exchange for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry. (Daily Mirror)
Liverpool have made no secret of their interest in the England international in recent weeks and this deal is seen as an alternative to the £10 million offer Liverpool had rejected last month.
Villa boss Martin O'Neill has spoke of his determination to keep Barry at Villa Park in recent weeks. Crouch and Carson have both been linked with moves to Villa in recent weeks.
Both players have played with Villa before and it is now thought that both will be used in securing Barry's signature. I personally think this is a good deal for both sides and Villa should seriously consider it.
