I've googled, and I haven't found anything to the contrary. Please correct me if I am wrong. If he's available, he's got to start IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yep, we've got no alternatives right now so hes got to play out of his skin and impress us as best he can. No more excuses J, just get on with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I suppose him,Smith & Butt are decent enough for the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I wonder what Keegan thinks of him as a player from their time working together? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightstuff83 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 When he signed I honestly thought we were getting in top quality, when he was on it with citeh he was first class! Since he came here though he's been brutal IMO, really not looking fit since the injury (Fat Sams great backroom fitness programs my arse!) and couple that with the off-field crap, he's been a real let down! KK might just be the man to let him realise just how good he could be if he knuckled down and cut out the crap, plus we've no other option really! (unless VDV is unvieled tomorrow!)

GM Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I wonder what Keegan thinks of him as a player from their time working together? I'm wondering whether Kevin will be buying Barton any more Cuban cigars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 He might be available but I wonder if he'll be fit for this match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellious Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think he trained with the team from Wednesday but just wasn`t allowed to play until Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon83 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Stick him in against Bolton, we dont have any other midfielders to fill the position so no choice really, and to be honest a player of Barton's ability cannot be left out regardless of his off field antics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Will be interesting to see what keegan does. would be suprised if he made the bench, but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 easiest game for Maddog Joey B to come back into side. All attention will be diverted away from him. Any other week he'd be the centre of attention..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teepee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i also wouldn't mind a roz-zoggy pairing in the middle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Barton will be big under Keegan he is the only Rob Lee type Midfilder we have at the club and I think we will see a lot of him for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Now is the time to be counted for Joey and also so i can wear my shirt with his name on my back without getting stick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Fuck him. He had his chance and blew it in the biggest way possible. I dont want to have to rely on unreliable knobheads like him. If he kept his head he could have been part of what KK will try to build and perhaps part of something fantastic. He decided to be stupid so he should pay the consequences.

9 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 easiest game for Maddog Joey B to come back into side. All attention will be diverted away from him. Any other week he'd be the centre of attention..... Agree with that, if hes going to play for us get him in as soon as poss while the attention is on Keegan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Barton is psycho early lee clark. skipped kicking water buckets and went straight for heads. i think keegan will relish working with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Barton will be big under Keegan he is the only Rob Lee type Midfilder we have at the club and I think we will see a lot of him for the rest of the season. I hope Keegan gets rid of Barton at the earliest opportunity. He's scum of the earth and shouldn't be allowed to soil our club any longer than is necessary.

Superior Acuña Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I know he messed up but i hope he doesn't get booed. Support him, or rather be indifferent. New manager, new era just lets give all the players a new start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Proabaly the best CM we have in the squad. Dont know who to play him with, if its Zog then he has to be a DM esxclusively. Cant think who else could play in thecentre and give us the same dynamism as those 2.v Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Barton is another who SHOULD flourish under KK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
