Where is Barton off to then?

[Ed the Wool]

Would be a great addition.

[Rich Gobey]

'kin ell, it's gonna be like Feltham Young Offenders Institute at Melwood soon!

[RafaShanks]

Would be a great addition.

 

Not at this great club. c*** of a man!!!

[David Hodgson]

I'm just fascinated to see how long this thread lasts.

[Guest Red Mist]

No way! I don't want anyone with his track record at Anfield. Or anyone with a murderous brother.

Cos therefore he shares exactly the same character traits...

[Frosty Jack]

Prison?

[zimmie4444]

Asides from anything else, where exactly would he fit in, with us already having Sissoko, Alonso, and Gerrard of course. Money would be better spent in other areas.

With us needing four quality central midfielders to rotate and cover.

[floyd]

Do we still deal with that agent of his, Willie McKay??

He's just signed a new contract, City'll want the best part of £10m. Is it really worth spending that much on a player just as a squad player? He's not better than anyone we already have, and we don't have that kind of cash to spend on squad players. It would be an irrational signing. He's a good player, but in essence he's a poor man's Gerrard, and why would we need one of those when we have the real thing?

Well Barton is no angel himself, but obviously he's not quite as nasty as his brother. It's just that I'd rather we not sign an average player who will be on big wages (if his demands at City are anything to go by) and who also has a racist, murdering brother.

Does anyone REALLY want to sign a player with such an association?

I didn't think he signed the contract and the great internet has City looking for £3m for him....

[Guest Stephen King]

Did Jan Molby go to jail or did he get off? I know it's not the same as having a murderous brother, but hey we all love Jan.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Or anyone with a murderous brother.

 

[Lark]

brother in law actually....

 

dont see why joey should be tainted by what a inlaw does. Nor should he be tainted 4 slapping a mouthy blue nose.

 

personally i'd like us to have barton in the squad...he's a decent player and stevie g's mate.

[Guest Red Mist]

I'm pretty sure it was his brother. Why buy someone with such baggage anyway. We can do much better.

[Herbie von Smalls]

step-brother.

 

and wise up red mist

[Lark]

joey and michael were not brought up together. hence my thought they were in laws

 

either way the point remains why should joey be tainted by what a family member has done.

guilty by association.

 

we're all screwed then as we use the same forum as red mist.

[Guest CanadianRed]

Half-brother

[anny road]

Barton was offered 28k per week by city, he refused it....boror came in with an offer the day after

too late for any deal to be done, and was obv being used as a stalking horse by Barton and his agent to get more wad off city

 

as it stands no one hs asked about him

 

City have told him there is no new deal on the table now and there wont be in the future

[stressederic]

I can scarcely look at myself in the miror

He hasn't signed a new contract.

 

I don't think we should sign Barton but we do need a fourth centre mid.

 

He's not a poor man's Gerrard either. He's a holding player.
