Guest schmuck Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So now we have 4 wide players including Fergie and they all prefer the left side. Jonas to the right? (Danny Simpson needs a grafter in front of him). Gosling? Or switch to a 433 with Ben Arfa cutting in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
localshop Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Love this from the Journal The Journal understands that Newcastle will seek to replace him but, on that front, nothing is imminent. The priority for the week remains recruiting a left-back and striker, with moves for a right midfielder to cover for Barton on the back burner.

(Danny Simpson needs a grafter in front of him). Gosling? Or switch to a 433 with Ben Arfa cutting in? I always though Jonas was a naturally right sided player anyway, and only got shunted out left when we had Milner who played on the right - formed a link up with Enrique, and just got left there.

brummie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think the most worrying aspect is that I'm now convinced we'll make a late window move for Stephen Ireland. We're absolutely to the bone in terms of squad depth, so unfortunately (for us, but not you) - and I can't believe it has come to this - I don't actually think we'd sell him. :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 "After Queens Park Rangers got promoted Neil Warnock called me and asked me the situation with Joey and of course when Joey was rewarded with a free transfer by Newcastle he came on right away," McKay told Sky Sports News. "Joey spoke to (chief executive) Phil Beard and spoke to Tony Fernandes, via phone and liked what he had to say and I am sure there is going to be a few more signings for Queens Park Rangers. "Obviously it is a big wrench for Joey [to leave Newcastle] as he loved it up there and obviously he will miss all the supporters and all his team-mates. "Time moves on, you just have to move on. Newcastle have got their plans and Joey has got his. "Joey is very confident he can do very, very well for Queens Park Rangers I think he is a top signing for them."

Guest Antec Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 More pissed off with the lack of replacement than losing Barton. The 'Joey Barton Show' is in danger of overshadowing everything else the club does. However, I will always be grateful to him for staying and getting the club back in the PL. Not sure how many of those players (Jonas, Colo, Nolan, Enrique etc) had genuine offers from elsewhere but they stayed to right a wrong so fair play. That's always my main concern when losing an important player. Barton and Enrique so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I just notch another off the list of players we've got to register on September 1st. I've no doubts we'll register 25 players, but think that 1/5 of them will not really need to be on the list.

BottledDog Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i didn't want barton in the first place. i wanted him out when he went to jail. and i am sick of his tweets but - aside from the tweets - he has behaved as well as can be expected, and was a top performer last season. lastly, there is not fighting spirit and leadership left in this team..... disgrace! That's a pretty disrespectful attitude to our players, to captain Colo, to Saylor, to Tiote, in fact to all the players in terms of fighting spirit. Nice.

Maybe Mike Ashley could get one of his staff to change their name to "Sportsdirect.com The UK's Number One" and put them in the squad as the 25th player.

Guest CheickMansour Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 lastly, there is not fighting spirit and leadership left in this team..... disgrace! There's no place for that at this club. Drive, ambition, pride, it leads to people standing up to Ashley and that's why it's crushed at every opportunity. Hughton was chosen because he was a humble guy who did what he was told, but through the law of unintended consequences he was a nice enough chap that he created a united dressing room where people would stand up for one another. That was too much power for Ashley's employees to have, so out the door he went. There's a lot of truth in this tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's the lack of replacement that annoys me as well. I can understand how Ashley has had enough of Barton's antics and wants him out of the club and a persistent problem gone for good, but he must realise that like Barton or not he's a very strong midfielder who we rely on. He will need a similar type of player to replace him if he doesn't want us to feel the adverse effects of him leaving. If we brought in a quality LB, quality forward, and a quality replacement for Barton then I wouldn't have any problem with him leaving at all, in fact I'd be rather pleased that someone who likes to let his mouth go, is prone to lose his temper etc has gone.
