TBG Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I hope he doesn't get an England call-up tbh. f*** them. He'll only get injured anyway. Don't worry Capello will over look him and pick Shaun Wright Phillips instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 simpson, barton and AC9 all in the same england team? Who'd have thought that Can't see it ever happening though. Simmo might one day get a chance, just due to the lack of depth at right back. But I don't think any manager England get in the near future would have to balls to pick someone with the reputation of Barton. And good. Let's not waste him on England.

Scoot Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Class performance again last night. I often have a go at his set pieces and his passing due t them going slightly off course but he was bang on last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tall Striker Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 We shouldn't be considering playing him anywhere other than the RW at the moment. I have a bad feeling that if we pull off the Bentley deal then we'll see him back in the middle, where he's far less effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Capello will over look him and pick Shaun Wright Phillips instead. I was totally against Barton playing internationals at central midfield. A couple of months later and we discover his true position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 http://www.teamtalk.com/west-ham/6607836/Joey-Hammer-Piss-Take Thursday 7th January 2011 16:13 West Ham confirmed their interest in signing Newcastle's midfielder Joey Barton today after watching him closely in a recent match. The 28-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of next season, has been linked with both West Ham and Aston Villa in recent days, with some reports suggesting he could be available for as little as £1.5million. But after watching Barton excel in last nights game for Newcastle, beleagured West Ham manager, Avram Grant confirmed his interest in the player, who was also watched by the entire Hammers coaching staff and their owners David Gold and Sullivan. The midfielder has been in outstanding form this season and has been the subject of interest from West Ham and Aston Villa. But he has just 18 months left on his £60,000 a week contract and rather than open negotiations on a new contract Newcastle are looking to cash in now if the deal is right. Barton's agent Willie McKay told skysports.com: "I believe West Ham made an enquiry for Joey after his superb performance in his most recent game that was watched by the entire West Ham coaching staff." "Joey is enjoying his football again and he is committed to Newcastle unless he is told otherwise. It is up to the two clubs to agree a deal and once that happens then we can sit down and discuss a possible move." Avram Grant told SkySport: "Joey was excellent last night, and we really could use his talent and energy to help in the run in and our bid to retain our place in the Barclays Premier League" {{snicker}} Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Won't be at Barton's initiative, I don't think, but as his agent (specialist shit-stirrer admittedly but I'd guess he's just doing his job this time) said in the new article above, he's 'committed to Newcastle unless he's told otherwise'. Avram Grant releasing statements, rumours in the media for over a month now iirc, an expensive contract not too far from it's expiration date and a player with a track record that suggests he won't take a 50% pay cut, which I wouldn't be surprised to hear is being asked of him by our Board. Going on what I know of Barton too, if our Board even began to entertain the idea of his being sold to West Ham, he'd take it as confirmation that he and the other players were being lied to by Llambias as he suggested might have been the case, which I don't imagine he'd take kindly to. Not saying he will go, but I'm not going to laugh at the idea of it - think it's significantly more likely than Carroll going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that's slightly embarrassing Still, I stand by most of what I said, the idea of him going isn't laughable. A similar statement was issued by Mackay two or three weeks ago iirc.
