Barry bid rejected

Harry's bid to bolster the Portsmouth squad has hit another set back with a £4.5 million bid for midfielder Gareth Barry.

Redknapp told The News: "Gareth is a talented player and we placed a bid with Aston Villa.

"They turned it down because he is someone they want to keep. I don't know if the situation will be different now David O'Leary has left."

Barry's future had been put in doubt since the departure of manager David O'Leary, however it its unlikely Villa will let the popular player go at least until a new manager is appointed.

Barry has made over 300 appearances for Aston Villa since joining in 1997.
