The only thing I can think of is that Barry has been told exactly who their targets are this summer and he's convinced (or been convinced) that they will have a competitive team by the start of next season. If that's not the case then I agree, he's a money-grabbing b*stard who's pretty much thrown away any hope of a half-decent England career or ever winning any silverware domestically in order to line his pockets.
As for Tony Adams, I don't think he would have made unfounded claims he had been contacted about the Celtic job if he hadn't been in talks with them. Why would anybody do that?!?
It's blatantly media spin to cause a stir and he either never made the claims in the first place or Celtic have been talking to him and the media is trying say they are denying it. I vote for the former and I hate how vindictive the media is when it comes to defamation of character.
Place your bets on where Kaka will end up though. The last I heard Real offered £63m and Chelsea have come in with £73.5m.
Personally, I'd like to see United oust Ronaldo to Real and step in to the mix to sign Kaka - but then I would rather see Kaka at Old Trafford than the likes of Real or Chelski to be honest!
