Its a known fact that Parry signed Keane. Thats one of the reasons behind him leaving and why Rafa wanted total control of signings. Why should Rafa play a player that he didnt want? How come Rafa switched from his primary target of Barry to keane? Their not even similar types of player?!

that just laughable, if rafa isn't strong enough to stop other people making his signings then he needs to get out anyway..but come now, you know that's not true and keane was on rafa's list.
Is Parry still at the club? No he's not. That may go someway to answering the question of how strong Rafa is.

i don't doubt that he wanted barry even more than he wanted keane. but to say that keane wasn't one of rafas primary targets is just not true.
How can you say that? His main target was Barry. He didnt get him so he signs the opposite type of player. Surley if he was after one type of player he wouldnt go out and sign the complete opposite?! He's never replaced Keane and tried to sign Barry again this summer. Rafa has never once mentioned how Keane was a great player and how he'd love to see him in a Liverpool jersey?. Swede don't let your dislike for Rafa cloud your sense of the facts.

yep, parry probably dragged his heels on barry and woulddn't sanction the extra couple of million that villa wanted but he would for keane
Apparently Barry wasnt worth the money. Its great to see that Barry will probably be one of Englands best perfomers in the world cup and Keane is even struggling in the Scottish league. Well done Mr Parry huge slap on the back for you. Who knows but that extra couple of million spent on Barry could have won us the title last year.
