biggs Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We need the aggressive Barton from the Cithe days not the pale imitation he became after his jail troubles when he just seems too pussyfoot around and not really getting stuck in but i guess thats a fear of refs and the reputation he has now, COME ON BARTON WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT .

Dave Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/04/15/magpies-pencil-in-barton-s-return-61634-23387718/ JOEY Barton could be back to bolster Newcastle United’s struggling midfield against Portsmouth at the end of the month despite claims he has suffered a setback in his recovery from a broken metatarsal. Barton has only played eight games for Newcastle this season, missing the start of the campaign due to his imprisonment for assault before injuring his knee against Wigan Athletic back in November following a reckless tackle by former Middlesbrough youngster Lee Cattermole. That ruled the 26-year-old out of action for another two months, only for the midfielder to break his metatarsal against Manchester City in January in only his second game back in the squad. Having thanked the club and its supporters for sticking by him after he pleaded guilty to two separate charges of assault last summer, Barton is itching to return in time to help save them from relegation and has pencilled in the Pompey game on April 27 for his latest comeback. “There has been a suggestion that Joey has had a setback somewhere, but that isn’t the case,” said Newcastle’s new assistant manager Iain Dowie, who will handle media responsibilities during the week to help ease the burden on rookie boss Alan Shearer. “Everything is fine with him and his recovery is on schedule as far as we’re all concerned. “He desperately wants to get back playing again and we are all looking at the Portsmouth game at the moment for him to do that. If that comes round a little too soon for him, then it will be the game after that. “We’ll have to see how he goes over the next week or so, but he is very determined, as you would imagine. That’s the sort of character he is and hopefully he can play some part in that game.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 could be key to us this fella. hold him back for liverpool and unleash him against the smoggies imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 As has been said before, the midfield lacks creativity and Barton has the skill to provide that. Barton also has an unquenchable self-belief and won't be affected by pressure. That can get his team mates going. At the moment, our senior players aren't providing leadership and the younger ones look a bit overawed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timmy boy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I think it may be to little to late now, every time he has come back from injury he has looked sluggish at best. He has been out for a few months and won't be match fit. To pin our hopes on him coming in and turning it on straight away is very hopeful. Although even a sluggish Barton would be an improvement on our woeful midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 it will be good to see him back, a midfielder who can pass/shoot, shout at team-mates for not pulling their finger out, godspeed joey! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I was surprised he didn't get a run-out on Monday night, but presumably the injuries did away with that idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well you know where has no longer got him on the injured list so lets hope he gets some time on the pitch on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 when the players were practising one-touch passing and finishing at the Gallowgate before the pompey game (Barton, Love, Carroll, Guthrie, Edgar, Viduka, Duff) the only couple to emerge with any credibility were Viduka and Barton. The rest were pretty horrific to say the least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribble Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 when the players were practising one-touch passing and finishing at the Gallowgate before the pompey game (Barton, Love, Carroll, Guthrie, Edgar, Viduka, Duff) the only couple to emerge with any credibility were Viduka and Barton. The rest were pretty horrific to say the least Did you see him have a hack at the back of Martins' legs when trying to get the ball in the warm-up? Was worried he was going to injure him before kick-off. He apologised later but it shows how keen he is to get back. Only worry about Barton is, him trying to hard and losing his rag in frustration then getting sent off. We need 11 palyers on the pitch for the remaining games.

Tisd09 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I think had Enrique not got injured you may have seen Barton come on later in the match, I can understand Shearer not using him on Monday. I hope he has 20/30 minutes against Liverpool on Sunday. Chances are that we won't pick anything up on the weekend so there is no need to rush him back, hopefully the 20/30 minutes will put him in a postion so he can start against Boro. I think he is our best midfielder and it is a shame he got injured again this season, I really think a on form Barton can boost our midfield alot, but due to bad luck and stupid personal decisions from him we have not had chance to see his best.
