So it looks like we will really see him again, after being lost a year in the shadows of Chelsea's depth

Bastards lol. Would love to have got him.

Always liked him at Reading. Was baffled when he went to Chelsea because I knew he wouldn't play regularly. But in retrospect, I think he might have known that too. He was probably just wanting that big salary boost that another club would be paying him once he moved on.

well looks like barry is all but gone then, but everyone knew that anyway. great signing, excellent player for reading, he shouldve known he'd only be a squad player at CSKA fulham. hope he has a long and successful career for us.
