dean_allen Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Just because someone plays/has played in Scotland, it doesn't mean they're shit. it does not mean they are shit i agree. he may be half decent..... however..... can he hold his own in a faster pace game than Scotland? has he got the strength to hold up the ball? and how will he handle the pressure when the fans start to get on his back if he is not performing well?

David-Copenhagen Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Could we please sign Barton!! I mean at 5.5 mill he is a steal - just look at Pearce face when he trys to say none of his players are for sale, he is scared that he might loose Barton and Distin!! And hopefully to us! Has MON not esepcially said that he wanted to give McCann a helping hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 16, 2007 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2007 At £5.5m we get permission to speak to him, but with him being a bit of a hero in ManCity and to him we are no bigger than them and them being higher in the league I don't think he'd want to come. The only way we'd get him is if Man City told him they wanted the money - and I don't think they're about to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't think he'd leave Man City for us sadly. I think he might go to Everton though because he's an Everton fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I can't see us loosing out to Everton on any deal to be fair, especially after we have made 1 big signing. That is why I think the first signing are crusial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The fact is that Everton want him and that he is lifelong Everton fan, so he would go there ahead of us. Not to mention that their league position and starting line-up is significantly better than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 i met his uncle on holiday in egypt this year (well he told me he was) so i had no reason to disbelieve him, and he said hed never be able to set foot back on merseyside cos hed get ripped to shreds, cos his family are all rotten to the core and real lowlifes of liverpool........... plus wasnt it the evertonians who were verbally abusing him and he bared them his arse????? no way will he go to a merseyside club...............

aj2k77 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Id be very dissapointed if Barton went to Everton and we didnt at least talk to him . He's a definate upgrade over Mcann and anyone who went to the Man City game earlier in the season will tell you how he ran the midfield . Him , Barry and Petrov is the sort of midfield than could have us challenging for top 6 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Without the claret and blue specs on i would say were on par with Everton really for a player and as a scouser he would prob choose Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Well I've seen Joey Barton in Liverpool town centre enough times. There's a guitar shop that he always goes to. So he can't be that scared of coming here because I've seen him many times. He'll go to Everton, he's a scouser. Get over it, he won't come to Villa. Why would he? As a City player, he has just seen his team beat us every season, it's their easiest game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
