Has finally signed for Everton on a three year deal. Liked the guy and will be sorry to see him leave. Wish him all the best for the last stage of his career. The sort of player you wonder what he does when you sign him and you wonder how to replace him when he leaves. A top pro. A pleasure to have had your service

dont agree that we should've let him go but since he was out the door anyways I'm happy he went to Everton. he will have a big role there and play for a great manager.

Great player and servant to our club. Good luck Gaz baz!

According to Citywatch we get 2 million from Everton. Every little helps.

Best of luck to one of the most criminally underrated Englishmen in years. Top pro and helped bring us trophies.

Completely agree with that. One of the most intelligent players in recent years.

Good luck to him.

Very good player and a really important signing for us at the time. He helped us to progress to the level we are at now.

Thanks GB and good luck.

3 year deal, he is 33! How did he negotiate that? Its good for Barry who did great for us in the 4 years he played for us, under-rated but its right for him to go from City now, he would struggle to get into our midfield. He is a decent player but at 33 he is only going in one direction.

Cheers GB

Great move for him. Was a fantastic player for us. bargain at the price we paid. He must laugh about all the shit he got for signing for us. Prem and FA Cup winner now. Top man

He was my favourite player for much of his time at City and before that at Villa he was always a player I admired. Great servant to the clubs he has represented.

It's going to be weird seeing him play against us. I hope he has a nightmare.

God move for Gareth and good moviegoer us. I hope he helps Everton to finish above the rags again and has a mare against City.

It was typed while in the pub, so it made perfect sense to me.

Thanks GazBaz, it's been emotional.

Correct.
Fine player but now that he has completely lost whatever pace he ever had, he would struggle with us.

I miss Gazzer.

Simples....

Player manager deal for when Van Hhhaal gets sacked and Martinez gets the call to steady the ship.

With him gone Zabba is the only one left from Hughes's signings, correct? A group of players who for whatever their strenghts and shortcomings might have been, enabled City to take top four contender and more.

I'll miss him. The perfect holding player in 5 man midfield.

Thought Kompany was one of Hughes' signings? Could be wrong

Correct, two left. I definitely would not have thought that these two would be the ones still here 6 years down the road.
