Barton, are we really still flogging that dead horse? We'll more than likely have f*** all to spend, Barton's a much better option than spunking 3/4m of much needed money on someone on the way down like some of the names already mentioned. Cleverley is a shout as he'll be free. Barton is always injured, is paid way too much, and is a shockingly average player.

I have nothing against Beye, but I don't want anyone who jumped ship last season to come back. That's not how I roll.

I'd rather have an Arbeloa than a Glen Johnson. First and foremost they have to be able to defend, if they can do both then great, there aren't too many of those about though.

What a pleasant little surprise

It's between Owen and Joey Barton, I'm still not sure why people thought Barton was an improvement on Parker.

No, he's not very good.

I see we're getting to that point where we forget how poor he is again. He's a back up player in my eyes, infact i would consider loaning him out just to save a bit of money. Love how your exaggerating my point. Reward yourself with a biscuit, a rich tea perhaps. I think Barton has a lot of ability and is CAPABLE of taking the teams play up a notch. Not saying it's a nailed on fact to happen. Right now if Guthrie and Smith pick up a knock then it's back to Butt each week. I think Barton offers far more than Butt and would prefer him to be fit soon to be able to be available to play. Where have i exaggerated anything?

It is with the midfield we had. He was a rubbish captain yeah, dont see why thats relevant Nobody can say he wasn't given chances towards the end of last season, he fluffed them, just like he's been fluffing chance after chance this season. The "he will score goals" theory is well off the mark right now.

I disliked him long before the relegation season, i always felt the club was just a pay cheque to him and that he would see out his contract and fuck off. I wanted him sold a long time ago. I never high expectations of him either, you can't expect a poacher to lead a frontline.

And this is my point. Of course at the moment he shouldn't be going, but say he was scoring regularly in the next 20-25 games. Surely he must be at the very least a serious consideration? Surely this goes for most players? It does. I'm just get the feeling that with what's gone on with Owen at Newcastle, people would refuse to see him there regardless. Well put it this way, on a personal level i won't support a team that contains him. So i really hope he continues his form and doesn't go.

I fucking hope not, but then if Heskey can go then the door must be open for a wide range of donkeys.

I really don't care if he told some fans to fuck off, it's none of my business, it's between them and him. These randoms have abolutely nothing to do with me so why should i take it as a personal insult?

The way Parker was treated was ridiculous, i thought so at the time. Alot of people seem to think the grass is always greener on the other side.

I voted no It's hard being right all the time.

I think he's decent at the job he does, but then i don't see him as a creative player. I was told he was a workhorse when we signed him and that's exactly what i've seen. I'm sure he'll do well enough elsewhere when he leaves, and i'm sure we'll get a spiffing replacement as always.

This.

Drogba, he's the best target man in the world and would fit into any style of team, he scores hatfuls of goals(of all types), and gets hatfuls of assists. Probably the best striker around today. Cunt though.

Ah wanted wor Sheera like, get a fookin jawdee in ya kna!

I wouldn't be surprised if Butt's intelligence is all over his balls, it's certainly not in his fucking head.

The line-up is a bit defensive looking. I hope Hughton knows he's allowed to drop central midfielders every now and then. I was hoping to see 2 up top.
