Paddy tells Barry to make Anfield switch
Former Liverpool favourite Patrik Berger has told his Aston Villa team-mate Gareth Barry that a move to Liverpool is "the opportunity of a lifetime".
The Czech midfielder, who scored 35 goals in 196 appearances for the Reds, was responding to rumours that Rafael Benitez last week made a £14million cash-plus-player bid for Villa captain Barry.
Berger said:
"If I was in Gareth's position I would go there tomorrow. It is the opportunity of a lifetime. Liverpool don't come after you every year.
"He is the heart of our team and it would be a massive challenge for him. He would be in the Champions League and challenging to win trophies every year.
"I'm not surprised they want to sign him. He has had a fantastic season and was our main player from the beginning to the end. He has played well for the national team as well."
Thanks Paddy. Still red at heart. Good lad.
