MONEY TALKS...

Interviewer:
Mr Barry, what are your plans for the coming season
Gareth Barry:
I want to play for a team in the champions league. It is the one competition I cherish above all others. That is where all the top players want to play.
Moneybags:
Why not come and play for Manchester City. We are not in the Champions league and won’t qualify for it next year. But we will give you £60,000 more a week.
Gareth Barry:
That is a good sum of money but I want to play in the Champions league. I thought we will do it with Aston Villa but our gaffer couldn’t buy a victory in two months; letting those southern softies at Arsenal to take the 4th spot.
Moneybags:
At Man City, you will play with Craig Bellamy and that reject from Chelsea, Wayne Bridge. Do you want more money? Robinho plays for us and we bid £104m for a player who can’t find Manchester on the map
Gareth Barry:
I’ll sign.
Interviewer:
So, Mr Barry you are now signing for a team not even in the Champions league. Are you joining them because they are paying you £60,000 a week more than your last pay packet?
Gareth Barry:
What do you expect me to do? I will look for another excuse of going down market; how does the potential of Manchester city sound? What about the chance to play with world class players like Jo and Kelvin Etuhu?
Interviewer:
Good luck Gareth, forget the bollocks and follow the money.
