Chris_R Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The old Barton deep delivery to Carroll, who wins the header then Nolan cleans up is a proven recipe for success. Pretty ugly, but bloody effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The old Barton deep delivery to Carroll, who wins the header then Nolan cleans up is a proven recipe for success. Pretty ugly, but bloody effective. its the only reason he was in the side , because he can whip a ball in from the right. Having said that his corners were better than anything our players could produce for the entire last season. And Barton isn't exactly a technician.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Would have him back here in a heartbeat on footballing ability alone. Expand on this... You must rate him highly I take it?... Good deliveries from corners and set pieces and does a good job on the right or in central midfield while always giving 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It's a lot easier to put in a good cross when you are aiming for a player who will beat any centre back 9 times out of 10. What players do we currently have that would even put up a fight? Barton was a decent player when he actually played but lets not pretend like he was Beckham. How many effective crosses did Barton put it that weren't directed to the lanky Gateshead gobshite? Edit: The Carroll, Barton and Nolan triumvirate was good for half a season because you had the decent crosses, the physically dominant beast and the instinctive 'edge of the box' poacher but the closet we have to any of those now is Dan Gosling and even with his 'prowess' our beast is Mike Williamson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Rumours he's off to WHU. He plays well with Caroll. Shows what hypocrites Sullivan and Gold are. They said they'd never sign him. That was because of his lengthy ban last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thread necro I know, but my word, we could use someone with his passion right about now. Just rewatched the 4-4 vs Arsenal, and him and Nolan pretty much won us that game. Or point... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Have him back in a heartbeat, if only to see how he'd lay into our current dressing room after that derby performance. We should just have him as a nutcase about the club, yelling at people and 'motivating' them by telling them how shit they've played. We don't even have to play him.

We should just have him as a nutcase about the club, yelling at people and 'motivating' them by telling them how shit they've played. We don't even have to play him. We should hire Roy Keane or Paolo Di Canio then. They are free, will work for less money and do the exact same thing. Brilliant suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Aye, Di Canio can be kept kneeling in the slide-marks he left embedded in our turf the last time he was here, forever reminding us of Pardew's shiteness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Not that I'm advocating it, but you'd think Do Canio would get a better response from his methods with our depressed professionals than the alcoholic hacks of the dark place... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
