I asked them for you MsiDouglas Mark Douglas @ @SkirgeyMKII Yes: but why would we Tweet stuff for the paper tomorrow? If we did, why would anyone buy it? 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply Cheers.

Like a new signing? Aye, put him with Ben Arfa and Gosling and there is another 3. It's like troll physics. Key player injured, wait until return, like a new signing, injured, returns, like a new signing, injured... INFINITE TRANSFER FUNDS. It was the plan all along, pretend Barton is leaving and hail it as "like a new signing" when he stays.

From suspension?

Is he a now doubtful for the Arsenal game?

Pretty poor press conference form the journo's like, surely they should have asked him about any new striker coming in.

If he where to stay after all of this, it could be just the boost we need going into the season. Something to really bring the team and fans together.

In the good old day's players would've ditched their Champions League Club to come here on less money Not saying that at all, but to call 40k a week ridiculous, is shameful.

Everything that is wrong with modern football in that quote from the agent.

His press conference is at 2pm tomorrow.

Full name Alberto Zapater Arjol Date of birth 13 June 1985 (age 26) Place of birth Ejea de los Caballeros, Spain Height 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) Playing position Midfielder Where abouts in midfield?

If we sign anyone on loan it will be on deadline day, save the wages.

Willy McKay said they would have won the league if Barton had been playing for them last season. What a tool. Think it's more likely that he'd have punched out Abou Diaby, Cesc would have fled to Barcelona and Nasri would now be a Man Utd player! Didn't know Barton was a good keeper like......

Nasri must be on his way out of Arsenal, if Barton is going there.

Not knocking him, just wonder why he would know.

Made me chuckle.

Why would Alan Brazil know?

Yes, you do know what position Barton plays for us don't you? Er aye, the right side of midfield. I'm sure Ben Arfa, Jonas and Marveaux could all play on the right side. Routledge gone is no big loss seaming as we were never going to play him and he's not goof enough for the Prem. He is a loss in terms of numbers but nothing else. I'm sad to see the back of Nolan but I'm sure with Cabaye and Ben Arfa we have cover for the "hole" Nolan spent most of his time in. Im sure they all could play there, im sure we could play any player there wether or not they are any good is a different question. Going into the season with no proven right midfielder is suicidal. We did exactly that last season. We have players on the books this season who are more proven as right midfielders than Barton was at the start of last season. I'm not saying we don't need a replacement if Barton goes, because I think we do. But that statement is just stupid. No we went in last season as Routledge as our first choice winger. We stumbled upon Barton out there, and he was brilliant from there on in. But we actually started with an out and out winger.

I forgot the season starts tomorrow. Yeah that is what i said. We are talking about people thinking we don't need to replace Barton.

Did he say that? No, not that bit, just we have a plan in place, im just making the other bit up.

Pardew said weeks ago we already have a plan in place should Enrique go. Basically we will promote someone from within.

BUMP.

The press seemed to think Pardew wanted him and Ashley said no.
