The England international was the subject of constant speculation last summer after a protracted transfer saga involving Liverpool.[LNB]Barry ended up staying at Villa Park after the Reds failed to meet Villa's asking price for the midfielder.[LNB]Reds boss Rafa Benitez is reported to be ready to rekindle his interest in Barry this summer and the player insists there will no repeat of last year's saga, though he will take his time before deciding on his long-term future.[LNB]"From the experience of last year I'm hoping to deal with it better," Barry told the Birmingham Mail.[LNB]"It would be disrespectful to the fans and the club if I'm thinking about anything else rather than trying to get maximum points from the last four games - that's where my head is at this moment.[LNB]"It will definitely be a difficult decision, but we'll see where we are at the end of the season before making any decision. It's always going to be a tough one, no matter what happens.[LNB]"I've learnt a lot from what happened and last season I learned a lot off the pitch. I'm looking for a completely opposite scale of things and I'm confident it won't be one of those sagas again.[LNB]"There are things I'll do differently. I'm not dreading it at all, I know what's coming. It's not something you dread, it's part of the game."[LNB][LNB] Aston Villa 8/13, Draw 13/5, Hull 5/1
