What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œTheyโ€™ve [Liverpool] not officially come back to us in any form of writing [an offer for Gareth Barry after unsettling him in 2007-08]. Itโ€™s a really awkward position.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t mind it ending one way or another. Weโ€™ve our own plans to make.โ€

โ€œWe shouldnโ€™t be at Liverpoolโ€™s behest.

โ€œWe havenโ€™t heard back from Liverpool for some time.

โ€œWhen people say people are in limbo, I donโ€™t think that applies to anybody more than ourselves. We donโ€™t know whether to move forward or not with it.โ€

โ€œMy preference - and hopefully Iโ€™m speaking for a lot of Villa fans, if not all of them - is that we would like Gareth to stay at the football club.

โ€œThat would be great because it will be hard to replace him, but weโ€™re not sure where Liverpool stand now.

โ€œHe will be in contention for Saturday.

โ€œI have never not been impressed with him in two years as to his attitude on the football pitch.

โ€œIn fairness the Intertoto gives us that chance to get into the Uefa Cup, which we set out to get into by one way or another, and Gareth was a major part of that last year.โ€

โ€œI am a bit squeamish and the pictures [of Wilfred Boumaโ€™s injury] were not so good.

โ€œHowever, Wilfred has good strength of character and I hope heโ€™ll come through it. I am sure he will because if anyone can it is him.

โ€œItโ€™s a dislocation, which is still a bad injury, which you could see by the reaction of the players.

โ€œThe hospital have put it in plaster and got it reset but obviously there can be loads of complications.

โ€œItโ€™s terrible news because he played every single game last season. He was fantastic, but heโ€™ll come through it.โ€

Martin Oโ€™Neill.

*Aston Villa booked a spot in the final Uefa Cup qualifying round with a win over Odense but the match was marred by a serious injury to Wilfred Bouma.*

The Dutch defender suffered a dislocated ankle early in a match that Villa won thanks to a second-half strike from Ashley Young.

The England midfielder fired in an unstoppable shot from 20 yards that gave keeper Arkadiusz Onyszko no hope.

John Carew also went close with a header that hit the crossbar.

Villa began brightly but the early injury to Bouma, which resulted in play being stopped for about five minutes in order for treatment to be administered, seemed to unsettle Martin Oโ€™Neillโ€™s side during the first half.

Nevertheless, the Premier League outfit went close on a handful of occasions, with Youngโ€™s free-kick deflected over the bar by Jonas Troest before Carew screwed his turn-and-shot fractionally wide.

There were a couple of scares for the home side, with Henrik Hansen forcing a save from Stuart Taylor and Baye Fall striking the post after finding himself in a one-on-one situation with the Villa keeper.

Oโ€™Neillโ€™s men looked a different proposition after the break as first-half substitute Gareth Barry exerted his influence.

Barry had come on to replace Bouma in defence and received a warm welcome, despite facing the wrath of Villa fans in the midweek friendly against Walsall as a consequence of his desire to leave the club.

The England midfielder took a number of pinpoint set-pieces but had little say in Villaโ€™s winner, which was created and finished by his international team-mate Young.

The sprightly winger cut in from the left to smash a vicious effort into the top left corner.

Villa upped the tempo and should have had at least doubled their total, with Carew hitting the bar from Barryโ€™s free-kick and Gabriel Agbonlahor screwing wide from 12 yards.

But with a poor Odense needing two goals, Villa did not need to panic and they saw out the game comfortably.
