I think playing Joey Barton as a right midfielder after andy carroll left was a useless exercise. We did not have the strikers to thrive on the long ball service and were therefore over reliant on scoring at set pieces. We lacked genuine width on the right wing, as simpson doesnt have the quality to overlap effectively. We would be better served palying a pacy winger to stretch the opposition defence more.

It's clear we are only interested in deals that are "value for money" such as Cabaye, Tiote and Ben Arfa. The club is not interested in investing rediculous amounts of money on players as done so in the past, as results showed in the past it is not succesfully on the pitch or financially.

Its disappointing in the sense that Barton was versatile enough to be a starting player on the right or midfield and was a quality replacement, in the inevitable case that either Cabaye or Tiote get injured. I would like someone with that versatility, I guess someone a bit like James Milner.

Now that Joey Barton has left, who would you like to see him replaced with? Would you like a player with similar attributes, or more of a outright winger? Do you think he will be replaced? Personally id like a winger with the crossing ability of Barton but with a lot more pace. Someone like Adam Johnson. Being realistic though, i dont know who we can attract.

Brett Emerton terminates contract with Blackburn Rovers and is set to sign a 3- year deal with Sydney FC on Thursday.

Agreed positive stuff on here for once

the news keeps getting better. There is no doubt the club are keen to get his wages and media attention away.

Right Winger Esteban Lopez has been added to the Academy Page too: http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Teams/AcademyPlayerProfile/0,,10278~2425436,00.html Estaban has been in the academy for a couple of years now. Played in the Nike cup last year.

Would love to see paddy back at the toon, has the ability to be a tremendous attacking full back.

Noticed Steven Taylor taking up Nolans roll of miming the goalkeeper directly infron of him, whilst we have a free kick.

Anyone remember his amazing kick out of play, when under no pressure at all?

JESUS

That was a brilliant night, despite the shitness of that club we got tricked into going to. Still don't understand why Fulham had an Australian bar that seemed to be brimming with actual Aussies, though. All the Aussies in London love in Fulham
