de Jong was wanted too and is a Holland international, which up until this EC meant A LOT more in world football than being an England international. Don't agree with the more rounded game argument, they are both specialists in their own roles.
Not in England it doesn't. No matter how shit the national team is, with home grown rules coming in being an England international counts.
Barry has a much better passing game and scores a goal/takes a corner once in a while. I love nige, but his displays at city are very 1 dimensional. It's a dimension we need, but he stays within the lines.
