Elbel1 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'd put money on Barton not playing in the centre when he returns. What odds you offering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Barton will be back soon, a CM isn't the main priority. Barton was dogshit and hardly contributed before he even got injured anyway, I dont even see him as the answer to our problems. Just a fitter, non-goal scoring less defensive version of Nolan and Smith combined, he can be creative and could quite easily be this leagues best midfielder by a mile if he wanted to tho. So he's not good but he is good, I see what you mean. , His form suggested nothing promising before he was injured anyway, not the player we thought hed be in this division before it started, but will add something new when he returns if played in the centre in comparision to our usual Smith/Nolan partnership. I can imagine a few months from now we'll be saying the exact same stuff about Guthrie right now when we talk about Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Scott Mcdonald linked with Boro? I'd take him in an eyeblink. Agreed. Would score for fun at this level and could even step up if he got any kind of service. Hopefully it's just a lazy link from the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent right midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guthrie has racked up our most assists from right midfield to prove that as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
