Barton has been sent off 6 times in over 300 appearances, 3 of those times were this decade...

It's Your Round Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Still wouldn't want Barton at Villa, not knocking him as a player. I just don't like his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like his character. True, it has taken us this far, we need a nice bunch of "honest" lads like Jordan Bowery, Heskey, Westwood, Guzan, etc. All very nice guys.

I'm not saying we need nice boys but there's tough guys and then there's idiots. Joey for me is an idiot. Whether he's learnt his lesson and behaves differently now, maybe, but I still remember the violent assaults he committed and would rather steer clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't all these incidents yonks ago? Practically everywhere he has played since then, he has been an integral/star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they overpay largely down to their own dithering? I recall Fellaini had a buyout clause of £23m that expired a week or so before they bought him.

It's all academic anyway now as he's gone to Rangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Plus, and I know this isn't Joey's fault, I always remember what his brother did to that poor kid in Liverpool. That's kind of put me off the Barton's tbh. Like I say nothing to do with Joey himself but still grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the sort of dickhead as you put it we need in our team!!

I don't know why people think this. As earlier in this thread (probably - when discussing with Stevo) for example, he stamped on a Brighton player recently and then goaded opposition fans on Twitter with some nonsense comment about football not being bowls. The guy is an absolute clown. Actually, that quite suits Rangers I suppose. Clown player at clown club, I like it.

So you agree that his footballing ability is good enough for us then but you just dislike his temperament? If fans slag players on Twitter they shouldn't moan if they get stuff back and as for the stamp I don't recall a major fuss over it and he wasn't sent off. He'll probably end up SPL player if the year next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably end up SPL player if the year next season. I think he's a technically pretty decent player and would likely bolster our midfield. However, he's a horrible human being and I don't want him anywhere near Villa Park. I guess stamping is OK as long as there's not a major fuss over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007√ Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 We should be taking a look at Sergi Canos, supposedly wants out of Liverpool and did quite well in the championship as a youngster. Their fans loved him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Don't really see what the problem with Barton is. He's obviously a nasty little shit and has a more than questionable off field history but we are a seriously lacking presence in the midfield area, a presence he would provide. Doesn't really matter either way now though does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference - others seem to want the guy. But yes, irrelevant now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things I mentioned are to do with his character. As a footballer and a midfield presence I think we'd have done well to have him here even if it meant we had to put up with his piss poor character.

Yeah - it's his character that I'm completely against. Don't want that kind of guy at my club. Again, personal preference. "Midfield presence" - what does this mean?
