Romey 1878 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Confirmed what? McKay said Martinez and Jones both like Barton's playing ability, that's all. I like Barton's playing ability. That he wants the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm happy to have him here. Great player to watch. Why are some of you being such moralistic twats? It's not as if you're all saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if you're all saints. really? bit uncalled for and yeah i'm sure we aren't all saints but i can't imagine any of us would stub out a cigar in a kids eye or twat a 15 year old? the man is a loose cannon...maybe he can't help it, maybe he can...either way he shouldn't be representing this club Edited July 31, 2013 by marcopaulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 really? bit uncalled for Sorry, mum! Come on, though. The outrage at this is bogus. The guy has had his issues, but I don't understand why some here would be so adamantly opposed to a quality player, even with his personal issues, wanting to come play for the club he's always supported.

Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm with you JQ. Bit far calling everyone twats like but he's an Evertonian and would give 100% every week. On low wages and a free why would anyone say no? He's had his problems but if he could keep a lid on it he would be a brilliant player. I actually wouldn't mind him being a loose cannon with other teams, we need a player the opposition are afraid of. JoeQuince 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About using the word "twats"... Why is this getting everyone's panties in a bunch? I don't actively dislike any of you. Just pointing out how over the top I think some of these reactions are.

I'm a fan of Barton (as a player) but I can totally understand the opposition the thought of him signing is getting. I mean, he did put a cigar out on an Everton fans face!

Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Soon afterwards the stories started to come back about the way Barton talked to staff at City. Then followed the first reports that he was dangerous. There was the argument with the YTS trainee that ended with Barton stubbing a cigar into the boy's eye. Then the pre-season trip to Bangkok when a 15-year-old Everton fan was slapped across the face and the journalists who witnessed it were shocked by the scale of Barton's temper and where it nearly took him. Very soon everyone in football knew Barton had a fuse like Tommy deVito's, Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas. Treat with caution. Don't, whatever you do, call him funny.

marcopaulo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 hasn't he served time or got suspended sentence's a couple of times too? sure i remember him doing summat at goodison also but not sure if it was all that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) He spent 74 days in jail for a drunken assault and the incident at Goodison was where he flashed his arse to the fans. Edited July 31, 2013 by Zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopaulo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 ahh that's quite funny then assault is a bit twattish also though another point...isn't he still under contract with QPR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah but I think he's been told if he wants to he can leave so long as he pays some compensation. He's stated that he only joined for money (due to his girlfriend/wife being pregnant) and has said numerous times he won't go back so he's as good as gone to be honest.

c1982 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I think the biggest thing will be off the football/training pitch. In France he'd have gone unnoticed to some extent when not at work but here, especially around and about Liverpool it will be a totally different story, people will be looking for that reaction, reporters will be looking for that front/back page. No one is questioning Barton's footballing ability here. Maybe he's matured, although some of his twitter rants suggest otherwise (see Hamman-gate!) but he's got a family now, hopefully the 'boozing in town' is in the past and that's his main out of work focus. I guess we will see... Edited July 31, 2013 by c1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 His career and life have been marked by numerous controversial incidents and disciplinary problems[4] and he has been convicted twice on charges of violence. On 20 May 2008 he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for common assault and affray during an incident in Liverpool City Centre.[5] Barton served 77 days of this prison term, being released on 28 July 2008.[6] On 1 July 2008 he was also given a four months suspended sentence after admitting assault occasioning actual bodily harm on former teammate Ousmane Dabo during a training ground dispute on 1 May 2007.[7] This incident effectively ended his Manchester City career.[8] Barton has been charged with violent conduct three times by The Football Association: for the assault on Dabo,[9] for punching Morten Gamst Pedersen in the stomach[10] and for attacking three players on the final day of the 2011–12 season.[11] and this doesn't even mention the cigar stubbing incident. The bloke has a screw loose. It has to be a big IF that he could keep his head together. A question to his supporters - What do you think our other players would make of him joining the squad. He has given some former team mates a leathering (not just a punch) before now. There is a difference between somebody with a bit of steel about them and a out and out thug. Please just stick to France and twitter Mr Barton- In the long run I feel you will bring more bad than good to the Everton badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus jones Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Good player but a troublesome twat. At the slightest sign of unrest within the squad I'd hang the fecker up by his balls with some rusty barbed wire, there, I have said my piece..............................

Aidan Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Cheap wages, free transfer, we could use another half decent (which I think he is a top player) central midfielder. Fair enough I agree I think hes a bit of a C***! However, he wants to play for the passion of his team now, lets give him a season and see how he gets on!
