Barry to seek O'Neill talks

05 April 2009 10:04
Aston Villa star Gareth Barry has admitted he will seek talks with manager Martin O'Neill if the club fail to secure a top-four finish. After an impressive first half of the season, Villa have struggled of late and have failed to win any of their last five Premier League outings. Meanwhile, Arsenal, Villa's rivals for a UEFA Champions League berth, have improved and currently hold a six-point advantage over the Midlanders. Barry was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool last summer, and it is reported that speculation over his future could reignite at the end of the campaign. The England international said: "We have got the players in the dressing room. With the games we've got left, we have got a more than good enough squad to take us up the league. "My aim is for us to finish in the top four and play Champions League football at Villa Park. It's a big ask but it's more than achievable. "If it doesn't happen, at the end of the season I'll speak with the manager about my future."
