Guest axel Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 is Barnetta a skillful attacking player or a neat passer like Cabaye? Seem he can deliver a good set piece i.e. the england game A little bit of both but mostly a good attacking player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie jamie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well that's good so seems he could play in a few different formations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Find it quite ironic that were linked with someone who's first-name translates to calm in Spanish when we sell our captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Douglas is saying there are no new names. So looks there are 'updates' tomorrow on Ba, Taylor, Erding and Barnetta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Fair to say that Barnetta would/could be Barton's replacement? See v little of him other than when he popped two in a weekend or 2 ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Could be the Barton and Routledge replacement or the Jonas replacement or just a general addition to create some competition for places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, actually. Could see it. I think he's slightly better than Barton personally, but it would be another one step forward, one backwards scenario.

geordie jamie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I would be happy with those 5 (cabaye already signed) Pardew said 5 new players before any departures so would expect any departures to increase the number of incoming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be getting more than that now we're seemingly shipping out players. Anything less than 6 players in is completely inexusable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, actually. Could see it. I think he's slightly better than Barton personally, but it would be another one step forward, one backwards scenario. Surely there is no way Barton is staying now? I thought he was likely to go anyway, but today just seals it. Unless he does as a few have suggested and simply sits tight waiting for a free move next season?

I think thats exactly what he'll do but he won't be picked next season because of it and club will vilify him. Win all round - Barton gets his money, its not the clubs fault etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie jamie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Only going by Pardew saying squad not big enough so would need bulking up, 5 new players with say 3 leaving doesn't bulk it up enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone will take a punt though, based on his form this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of assuming here but: Cabaye for Nolan Barnetta for Barton Taylor for Enrique Erdinc for Carroll plus Ba to beef things up up top. I reckon we'd be about £20m (maybe saving a bit on wages too?) up if that all works out. Lot of assumptions in there obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a year left and as long as he doesn't disrupt the new squad he'll still be a useful player next season, especially with Nolan leaving. Going off the interview though he seems to be getting ready to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Barton's basically made his position untenable with his remarks on Twitter today. Won't be here much longer although I've got no idea who'd take a punt on him. Proper 'loose cannon' stuff today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 When's Smith Loven Ameobi Guthrie Going? Nolan Barton Jose If 6 of those go and we replace with the 6 mentioned we'd still be a 2-3 players light imo. We had a small enough squad as it was anyway.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, SSN might have saved his bacon. I thought he should have been booted out for that tweet, but maybe if he has calmed down a bit now we can do the same and give him a chance. Seemed likely he would be sold even before this though, so the smart money must be on him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
