Gareth Barry has been urged to stay at Villa Park and forget talk of a move to Liverpool or Chelsea.
Scott Carson, Olof Mellberg and John Carew are just a few of the current squad who want the England midfielder to remain at Villa Park.
Barry was instrumental in the 5-1 thrashing of Birmingham City last weekend and the performance simply added to the admiration he enjoys at Villa.
The skipper showed exactly what he is made of as he bossed the midfield and set himself on course for a deserved Player of the Year award.
Barry has been linked with a move away from the club which could be worth £14 million but money shouldn't be an issue.
The midfield maestro must stay if the club harbour any serious hopes of challenging the top four teams.
What Barry showed against Blues was an unparalleled hunger allied with amazing ability.
Every move seems to start with the captain and although Ashley Young and John Carew deservedly hit the headlines, Barry was happy to simply play his part.
If a new contract is what it takes then he could just be the most important signing of the summer.
