Don't get your hopes up too high.
That is not to put a downer on Barton, who I rate, but more a general point.
Call my cynical/ignorant/whatever, but if that's not a put-down on Barton, what is it?
For the record, i think Barton will change our attacking fortunes by 100%.
Just like that.
OK, i get you.
He'll change our attacking fortunes for the better, but it'll doubtless take time, given a long injury lay off and the shape of the team. Nevertheless, i see him as a pinnacle figure of our squad in the long-term.
