MARTIN O'NEILL insists Liverpool have undervalued Aston Villa skipper Gareth Barry at £10million as he reiterated his determination to try to keep the England midfielder.
O'Neill and Barry are due to have further talks after Sunday's final Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham. A players-plus-cash offer of around £10million for Barry was made to Villa by the Reds last week but not taken seriously by O'Neill.
"Liverpool talked about a £10million bid, which was some cash and some unnamed players," O'Neill said.
"That is very presumptuous of them, that the players they might be talking about, are the ones you would want – that is why I dismissed the whole thing.
"Is Barry undervalued at £10million? Absolutely."
