Thespence Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 No loss really, he has been s*** or injured his entire time here anyway. we got relegated He didn't help matters when he wanted to show the world kop how tough he is by kicking one of the heros in front of them. Joey Barton the person is a disaster, Joey Barton the player overrated by a few, vastly overrated by himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slightly better than Butt, Barton is lightyears ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Short memories as i say. The going opinion round here now is suddenly that Bartons completely useless based on 3 games or so, when before it miraculously managed to be that he was the best midfielder we have. Strange that.

Not as strange as your interpretation of it. Most people expected him to be the best midfielder in this league (mainly based on his Man City form and a few games under KK), but he's been very poor so far this season and our worst midfielder bar Butt. He's not been justifying his inclusion ahead of Guthrie this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Liam Liam O Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Wonder if he's been carrying an injury? Either way his performances & match fitness aren't going to improve when he's out injured so this is a blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was miraculous that people thought that I guess it can only be down to the fact we could all remember the vast majority of this years squad playing badly last season & WE with our short memories forgot how bad Barton is on the rare games he does play. Still he has scored 2 pens for us so it hasn't all been bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'd be happy to never see him in a Newcastle strip again The one thing imo that Ashley rightfully tried over ruling Keegan on, was trying to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 On paper he's still the best central midfielder at the club, unfortunately it doesn't seem to translate well into reality. When I've seen him play this season he's looked like he couldn't give a shit, his ability covered up for this in a couple of games but he hasn't looked like the player he should be on paper. I don't even believe that the injury is that serious, learning from Shearer what the situation was last season with "injured" players having a holiday camp mentality I doubt that Hughton will have been too strict with the players and one or two will have relaxed back into the old routine.

ToonTastic Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Lets hope he's injured until his contract is up, least we won't then have to pay him an appearance bonus on top of the inflated wages he gets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not been justifying his inclusion ahead of Guthrie this season. That would be a nice argument if i was stating that hes currently our best midfielder and in prolific form, but im not really am i. I am stating that hes not useless. All this "barely better than butt, never played well for us" crap thats going around is completely laughable. Over the last two seasons when he wasnt setting out to cripple the oppositions players he consistantly put in better performances than our other midfielders, that is how he became considered to be our best midfielder at the time. It wasnt magic. Now on the back of three dodgy performances where he loses the ball by trying to play through balls to 1 man upfront against 2/3 defenders suddenly he's a complete waste of space. Ignoring the fact that bar Ameobi he was probably our motm against Reading, the only game where he's played with two lads infront of him IIRC. Thats also ignoring the fact he had just come off an injury. Not an in form midfielder for us no. But anyone who could care less whether we have him for cover or not is completely clueless. Theres no where near enough of a solid basis to be writing him off as atall useful anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Libertine Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 and people questioned my judgement when i said months ago he was possibly our biggest liability ever. shearer knew. there should be a poll to see if anyone is giving him another chance.
