I was also saying we needed some creativity and I said Barton wouldn't bring it, he's more like a Bowyer than creative, Emre isn't going to do it either.
Allardyce has to take some of the blame because he brought both Smith and Barton in with good money which could have been spent better. I'll give him a bit of slack because he had to bring in numbers and he's done that but he's now got to go a step further and give the team some flair, I hate to say this but door openers (spit).
