11/28/2008 - Birmingham, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has revealed that midfielder Gareth Barry will definitely not be leaving the club in the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old England international was expected to join Liverpool over the summer but, having seen that move fall through, Barry has hit top form to help Villa make a strong start to the new campaign.
O'Neill told the club's official website: "This news will lift me, the players and hopefully, the player himself. It increases our determination to keep going and shows we are pushing in the right direction.
"This is what Gareth wants to do. It is very, very pleasing and I am delighted.
"We will sit down again in the summer, have a chat and see what progress we are making.
"He has given the football club fantastic service and wants to put the trauma of the summer behind him.
"His game is top-notch at the moment and he is playing very well. He wants to leave all the speculation behind him and get on with his game."
However, O'Neill's joy was tempered by the news that striker John Carew faces several weeks out of action with renewed back problems.
The Irishman added: "John has a bit of a back problem again. We will have to monitor that, but it is looking as if he might miss a few weeks.
"He pulled up in training yesterday and it is something that needs more treatment."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
