I think we can safely say Finnan will not be in the Barry deal because Villa have signed Luke Young to replace Melberg at right back. I don't think Finnan would move from Liverpool's bench to Villa's bench and Villa wouldn't waste money on Luke Young to sit on the bench.
I do think however Finnan will move on in the near future because he's come out of international retirement. He's got a chance of going to the 2010 World Cup should ROI qualify, he's only gonna go by playing first team football. That's why he turned down the chance to move to Villa in my opinion. I think he knew he wasn't gonna play reguarly at Villa Park either. I think if a club who could offer him first team football came in for him he'd jump at the chance.
Loyal servant to the club, can count on one hand the number of bad games he's played in a Liverpool shirt. Wish him all the luck in the world if or when he moves on.
