Tisd09 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This is frustrating, even though I didn't agree with his use of Twitter against the club and believe he to has an agenda not just the club I would be disappointed to see him go as he has played well so far this season. Especially to QPR, who lets face it will be involved in a relegation battle this season. My frustration would be eased if we were able to replace him by the end of the window, but we have had months to sort a left back and striker out and haven't so I have no confidence in replacing Barton. Maybe the club (Ashley-And Super Derek) believe they have replaced him with Obertan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'd much rather see Gosling get his chance, feel the lad has a much better engine on him, and can effect play all over the pitch. I just always think Barton flatters to deceive, and his basic passing is awful at times. Give the f*** over. Some people, man. We need to keep our best players, especially at this stage. I don't see him as one of our best players. He shouts a good game but personally I don't see it. I can't quite understand the Barton lovefest actually, he was woeful from day one, only put in a few decent performances in the promotion season, then had a couple of canny games on the right when he could land the ball on Carrol's loaf. for me that is nowhere near enough from a so called influential midfielder. I don't think our first 11 would miss him in the team at all. Sorry, but what a load of bollocks. He was fantastic last season. He's been good so far this season. There's just no way we should sell/give him away at this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To find a quality midfielder with contract issues won't be that easy at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, misguided optimism probably I do believe that we will sign a left back in some form by the end of the window, even though that maybe PVH on loan or something, which is better than nothing, but I can't see a striker coming?

wor jackie Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 As some have pointed out, I feel Gosling is a very able replacement and Barton's form has dipped since Carroll left. However, we are vulnerable again as we are light in numbers but more importantly it is another disturbance at the club, another bump in the road which unsettles players and fans alike and puts a huge question mark against our plans. For me, the more worrying aspect of this is the message it sends out rather than the playing side. BAAAALZ MAN! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I am a little worried about this, but seriously, how is this actual news? I thought it was public knowledge that he was allowed to speak to whoever he likes? Seems to me the southern press desperate to throw a spanner in the works by making a story out of nothing. Especially with that Fernandes guy who seems happy to talk the talk in the press, probably been spouting off to them about how they're talking to Barton.

He got put on the right because he was so ineffectual, then managed to set up some goald for Carrol, after January though he was pretty ordinary. Don't quite understand the blinkered Barton lovefest actually. Think he is a very average footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchWilliam Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Why does he need the club's permission? Thought he could talk to anyone he wanted as he's been placed on transfer list and in last yr of contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being a prick on purpose here and to be fair I haven't really joined in the board bashing to the level of some on here but it won't be the first time they have told us something than isn't entirely truthful. I too would like to see Obertan as Routledge's replacement, but if Barton is shifted I think the Obertan signing and the fitness of Gosling will rule out their need to replace Barton. I really hope I am wrong. Normally I am positive and wrong, hopefully my negativity is misplaced this time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well not replace him, not with Gosling now fully fit. Can't compare the two. No, but Ashley can. Both central midfielders, both right footed. One is on big money, is getting near 30 and is a bit of a nuisance. The other 22/23, not on big money and is as quiet as a mouse.

Thought he could talk to anyone he wanted as he's been placed on transfer list and in last yr of contract. He's not been released just put up for sale for free, as he is still employed by use I assume that officially any potential buyers would need permission from us. Maybe thats a grand plan from Wor Mike? Hope a club approaches Barton without permission then report them to the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
