Please tell me what you base this comment on? I'm sorry if it upsets you but it appears that LFC fans spend too much time re-living previous glory. I feel you're only as good as your last season. Like I say I'd love to see LFC challenging for the Premiership title but finishing 11 points behind Man U and calling it success because it qualifies you for the Champions League is as good as coming nowhere. The league is history. The league is what LFC used to win. Coming 4th is success for businessmen and shareholders, not for fans.

Your comments:

"It cant be the amount of silver ware won, as That is quite clearly between ourselves and United, both way way ahead of any other club in England, the facts speak for themselves."

LFC were knocked out of the FA Cup by Barnsley. At home. There's limited shame in this as it's a knock-out competition and anyone can win on their day. I'm talking about the Premier League title which is won by the best team over the course of a season.

"Is it over the last couple of years, well you need to check league positions, CL positions, so on and so fourth."

Win the league. That's what counts. I'm afraid I still feel Milan lost the 2005 CL final rather than LFC winning it. Any league postion below 1st is only likely to please an accountant.

"Is it over global recognision, Yet again, you can go into just about anywhere in the world and people know who Liverpool are."

Titles are won on the pitch, not in the merchandise store.

"IS it over recent matches, lets face it, We have beaten the best in the world, in various different leagues, in variuos competitions, including breaking many records on the way."

LFC have won nothing since the FA Cup in 2006. Who remembers the 8-0 against Besiktas last November? A "record" win in the CL but LFC are not in this seasons' final. The last title was in 1990 when my hair wasn't grey. Actually, it might have been.

"Is it about respect, You ask any true realistic football fan, manager or player, they show respect to LFC."

Agreed but this is based on past glories and we want these times to return, do we not?

I agree, he should stay - he would be 'barmy' to move on now....just as things are moving in the right direction - and further, he'd lose all respect.

Look at the difference betweem Mellbourg and Yorke....total v No respect.

I think Barry should be at a high quality team so he can show his full potential and by leaving Villa to join Liverpool will open new doors for Garry.

for the sake of his career he should go to liverpool
liverpool can offer him champions laegue football which is pretty much essential these days to get into the england team. I also think that Barry would be a great signing

regarding some comments made about how much we spent and recouped back i can enlighten on the players who we sold:

£6.5mill cisse to marseille
£2.7mill pongolle to recretivo
£4.5mill luis garcia to athletico
about £2mill for paletta
bellamy went for £7.5mill
we later sold sissoko for £9million

added up i make that just over £32million according to my calculations.

i cannot understand why other fans looking from the outside always seem to comment on how much we've spent when in reality it is not that much.remember football is not how it used to be and unfortunately because of years of failure during the souness years and others after him we are now playing catch-up.

going back to the matter at hand i think the lad would be a welcomed addition to the team and hopefully this will be the type of player that we can attract in the future.Then, maybe we can finally compete come business end of the season.

Let me tell all of you hopers a few home truths.

Gareth Barry is a footballer.

98% of footballers are selfish - Flamini, Berbatov, SWP, Barton. (dont even get me started on Barton!)

Gareth Barry fits into that 98%.

He will therefore hang up all loyalties to Aston Villa ditching them for Anfield after weeks of pretend indecision and uncertainty.

At Liverpool he will struggle in a LM role and every1 will ask Rafa why he bothered bring a mediocre player to the club instead of another Torres.

Aston Villa will lose alot of momentum and retain a high-middle table spot, instead of pressing forward and reaching around the Everton position.

All the Villa players will then complain about a lack of "urgency" or "improvement" and join 98% of their footballing comrades where they too will struggle in an out of position area.

Its just a shame that whenever a sqaud looks to be getting somewhere it is "raped" of all its prospect. No wonder the English game is losing its touch...

So when Arsenal took Walcott from Southampton, Seaman from QPR, Wright from Palace, etc etc etc, did you react in the same way?

Liverpool are officially the best team in Europe. The Anfield club top the official Uefa rankings that are based on European performances over the last five years. AC Milan are a point behind in second, Chelsea make into third while European champions Manchester United only make it to seventh. Not too shabby
