Gareth Barry
Manchester City to Everton
Free Transfer
Not strictly a free transfer, since we apparently made a deal with City when we signed him on loan last season to pay a fee if we signed him permanently, but still, after the season he had last year, a great first signing. An absolutely crucial part in our successful season, his experience and partnership with James McCarthy were the foundation of everything we did, our shape, formation, style of play, everything hinged on these two. Endeared himself to Everton fans pretty much immediately, with a goal saving challenge on Samuel Eto'o on his debut, a 1-0 win over Chelsea.
