Top quality. Best defensive minded midfielder in the league.

"Blackburn&MLS have finalized transfer, George John has secured Greek papers, heads to Blackburn Thursday to complete contract."

Douglas - Don't shoot the messenger but vibes I'm getting are that Barton won't be replaced... just yet. Barnetta not back on the agenda. LB & ST 1st Happy days for Ashley.

What

Replacement for Simpson? Hope not. Would be a very good addition, and would probably challenge for a starting place.

At least it's QPR and not a competitive club, or West Ham. To draw something positive from it all. And yes, Barton in the same club as Taarabt - can't wait.

If Pardew had anything about him as a manager he'd have been the one banging on Ashley's door to get Barton out of the club. I'm actually quite confident this might be the case as Barton has always given me the impression he doesn't like Pardew because he's not as easy to dictate to as Hughton was. Pardew now has a blank canvas to shape which way he wants. If he's up to it is a different matter but let's see. Have a word man.

Why the f*** would he do that? Give over with that s***. No good would come out of that. How do you think the players he manages will view the fact he's weak as p*ss and can't fight their corner for them? What is sure is that, no good would come out of Pardew setting himself up for the sack. Players will know the situation just as good as we do.

Why the fuck would he do that? Give over with that shit. No good would come out of that.

Fact is, it won't be any better with any other manager. Ashley will still run the show, unfortunately.

He shouldn't risk his job. Not now at least. It would be devastating if Pardew left at this point. And tbf, he's done good under given circumstances.

Don't avoid the question, man. What do you reckon he should do? He can't do nowt except pushing for players to come in.

? Why has this been turned into a negative? Taking our time deciding on trialists that is Just tired of us not not being able to tie anything down. They've been here more than long enough for us to come to a conclusion. How can you possibly know that? They've been here for more than a week now. You'd think we would be able to judge their abilities by now.

I don't blame him for Barton going, but as I've said before, he's either a bare faced liar, or is happy to accept to be constantly lied to by his employers. Either way, I can't respect him. So what should he do?

?

Really don't feel Pardew is to blame here. What could he've done different? Yes, he has lied, but that is more down to Ashley running the show.

He played four matches for Swansea, man. He was shite before that. An absolute no-go as our #9. Maybe as one of two strikers, but we all know that won't happen.

Don't really agree, but say it was fair, it still wouldn't be enough under actual circumstances. As midds said: Sometimes you have to pay the price.

Aye, the signs are there.

Shit mackem banter.

Mike Ashley would fancy you, Ethi. Says it all about both, tbh.

So he has signed then? Yes they are.

Really? You're not fussed at all with all this? Seriously, you can't blame a soul for whatever negative reaction they may have at this point.

Premier League. The Frenchies play a major part, and he will for sure have spoken to a couple.
