Wullie Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 He's a right sided midfielder. That's where he's made the vast majority of his Everton appearances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I was under the impression he moved here to get games in his favoured central position? Happy to retract that if not true but I'm sure I read that when we signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 He's a right sided midfielder. That's where he's made the vast majority of his Everton appearances. Sounds like he fancies himself as a CM though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Tbf at that age Taylor had played most of his games at full back, his games on the right for Everton would have been to do a job while they had injuries rather than it being necessarily his favoured position.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I trust him to demonstrate more effort than Guthrie and Smith. Not that hard though isn't it What is it with this club and demonstrations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Slap in the face for Gosling mind. I'm sure he doesn't think NUFC are going to stop all midfield signings while we find out how good Gosling is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 comments from the Brum fans are interesting, slow but good at crossing is what he appears to be which to an extent suits our style. Look what happened when Barton got suspended, or even against Spurs where he couldn't pass to save his life. Need more creative bodies in midfield and at the price talked about, can't complain too much. Still need a striker desperately like, and a competent replacement at left back for Jose. the white Geremi then? Except with some sort of effort - also can't be as slow as Geremi shirley?

TRon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 No problems with him as a player but can't seriously believe anyone could advocate anything else but Joey Barton on the right hand side. If Pardew moves him, like he did on Saturday to suicidal effect, he wants his arse kicking. Barton's done well on the right but he's still a central midfielder by trade. I wouldn't want to rely on him being seen as the permanent solution for the right side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wonder how effective Larsson is in the middle? Everyone says he's a decent passer. Barton has been great out wide, but that doesn't mean to say he won't be good back in the centre with a decent outlet on the right. Barton's influence from the right really only tells one side of the story, the other side shows the quality we lack there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hmm, lets sign a winger and play him at CM and play a CM on the wing. Actually sounds like a plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Theres nothing to stop Barton drifting wide when he's in the centre to be honest, especialy if he's part of a 5 man midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VegasToon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I like this transfer. Does he get in the starting 11 if everyone is healthy? No, but we need depth and he will provide much better options for cover than Gutherie or Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Dont know if it have been said, but Larsson's father told a Swedish newspaper earlier today that they are talking to Newcastle and two other PL clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Barton starting on the right: P7 W6 D0 L1 - 1 goal, 4 assists Barton starting not on the right: P11 W2 D2 L7 - 2 goals, 2 assists I know Tiote plays a big part in that of course, but the facts speak for themselves.

Dokko Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hmm, lets sign a winger and play him at CM and play a CM on the wing. Actually sounds like a plan Sounds a bit twisted, but if Barton cannot adapt to the middle role (which i'm sure he can and will be better than we've seen from him so far) then this could possibly be an option. Who knows, Barton may want to go back to the middle, he might just see the wide role as temp and has asked the manager to come back inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Another option as far as I am concerned We would have a midfield of ( in order of importance/ability IMHO ) Tiote Barton Nolan Guti Larsson Gosling Routledge Guthrie Smith Only issue for me is lack of pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Dont know if it have been said, but Larsson's father told a Swedish newspaper earlier today that they are talking to Newcastle and two other PL clubs. Three others actually. He also says that the three other clubs have not had a bid accepted by Birmingham, but we have. He expects Sebs future to be decided this week, either if he stays the reminder of the contract or if he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If Tiote is suspended for Sunday it is our best bet to play Barton in CM...... Larson on the right .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
