Zoo Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 If he did come I'd get him on the back of my shirt - no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I either love or hate Barton from moment to moment. He can be nasty but he loves Everton and the game. For free and low wages I'd take him, but I don't want any of his bullshit -- which will be inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I can't help but juggle this one around lol. I really don't know what to think. What has he been like in France? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) No thank you, don't want him near this football club. I would be disappointed in Martinez if he signs this idiot. The rumour's come from him saying he wants to join us so probably nothing in it..... Hopefully. Edited July 31, 2013 by Geth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vranny Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 He would solve our box to box mid problem... Damned if the mooted deal linked above isn't tempting, depending on the rest of our transfer funds, but I'd still be inclined to vomit a little bit in my mouth if we signed him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not that I will make a difference but I just dont want a player that comes out with a bunch of crap about other players, running his mouth of constantly. Attitude stinks but he really is quite good as a player. Its a shame, he is taking his talent and throwing it away for some cheap digs at others. The assault - can i just remind everyone? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/sportvideos/1882861/CCTV-footage-of-Newcastle-player-Joey-Barton-beating-up-teenager-in-Liverpool-city-centre.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 We've been in for him a few times in the past but he's decided to chase the money e.g Newcastle - maybe he should have come begging earlier if he wanted to play for us so much. barryj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Player wise - can be as good as CM anybody on his day . And going back years ago, I would have given him the benefit of the doubt to see him at the club, but not anymore. His general attitude is discraceful. Not just once or twice, but season after season, incident after incident. He is a thug and he should come nowhere near the club. Martinez has spoke about bring the right charaters to the club, Barton definately does not fit the bill. If they brought him in (and a really hope not) - I would hope they had a immediate boot out clause the minutue if stepped out of line. 95% of the time he would be great, but the other 5% he can be that bad its just not worth having him drag our good name in to the gutter.

Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 What has he been like in France? 25 games, 1 goal (from a corner). Marseille said they wanted to keep him but they've obviously had a change of heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think this rumour is true, last night he tweeted Mcaleny - congratulating him on his perfromance (I found it a little strange) Pity really, good player in there. Unfortunately I can't see him controlling himself in a way that would enable us to keep hold of him or prevent him from causing a dispruption in the squad. Got to be fair, we were calling Liverpool for allsorts for sticking by Suarez., so why would we go down that route? I just feel that although he now makes a big effort to keep the tiger in the cage, he just can't control himself when provoked. I think in all seriousness he should return to QPR and try and repay them for his stupidity that cost them a key player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Get the fuck in. I've wanted Barton here for years. He's a bit of a tit but his passion for the game is second to none. He's prepared to halve his wages so he would play for the shirt and has Europa League experiance with Marseille. Please come off. You wanted a badminton player banned for life (or prosecuted) for hitting someone and yet you want Barton at Everton :dont know:?

Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Barton shows passion, sometimes it gets the better of him but there is no question that he puts in 100%. I'd have him all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion is one thing, assault is another. I'm not prepared for us to go from being a popular well respected club to being one that is a half way house for a unpredicatble footballer who is offering his services "cheaply" at £35k a week?! His talent is not in question, his temperament is. We aren't so skint or lacking in quality that we need to take him for his quality versus the reputational risk we would suffer if he has a blow out.

Passion? would say that was more anger not passion, speaking from experience id say he has some kind of personality disorder going on in there, and i really don't want him anywhere near here.

Romey 1878 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 A few years ago I'd have had him here, but he's 30 now and we ahve enough older players as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if you have seen it already but 70 000 answered the question - who would you most like to punch in the face? Joey Barton won, hands down http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/england/article17218708.ab Joey Barton - 32% John Terry - 29% Rooney - 22% Suarez - 17% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 If we were to sign him, something I don't want to happen, there would need to be some very public clauses in his contract. The decision to sign him must come from not only the management but it must be put to the players too. We're built on togetherness and team spirit, if anyone at the club who will have to work with him opposes this then they should be listened to.

StevO Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 For free, and on £35,000 a week, i'd give him a one year deal to prove himself. He was loved by the fans in Marseille last season, apparently played well. pete0 and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I got into serious trouble on another site for actually saying what I thought of Barton. So to avoid a ban from here may I just say. I DO NOT APPROVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
