1878 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Nolan is a fucking myth of a player. Ask Bolton fans what they think of him. Barton is definitely a step ahead of him and Sidwell. Pity he's such a wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Barton is a thug, too many occassions, too many chances. I would be surprised if they could offload him on anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Here is an account of what happened from Djamel Abdoun. Young lad we've got in on loan from Ajaccio to see if he has it to play in the premiership, not made much of an impact on the first team but interesting to see what an outsider on the inside made of the Barton incident, as well as the depths of the problems in the City dressing room, one of many reasons Stuart Pearce should be sacked immediately. Djamel Abdoun has branded Manchester City teammate Joey Barton a "coward" after his attack on Ousmane Dabo last week. Barton was suspended for the season and fined £100,000 after a training-ground fight with Ousmane Dabo last week. And City midfielder Abdoun said: "Joey Barton is a coward. The marks he left on Dabo's face were shocking. "Ousmane was unlucky to be caught up in it. He would not hurt a fly, and Barton knew it - he would never have picked on someone like Sylvain Distin, Hatem Trabelsi or Bernardo Corradi. Ousmane just pushed him and did not aim a blow, but Barton hit him with punch after punch. Barton simply does what he likes. He acts the big star - he thinks he is the Zidane of Manchester City, but he is just a player like any other. "He is an over-inflated footballer. He is way, way off from being a Frank Lampard or Stephen Gerrard." Abdoun, 21, on loan from French club Ajaccio, says there is a division at the club between home-grown players and foreign stars. He added: "Manchester City is a great club but the problem is that they have foreigners on one side and English players on the other. "If the two halves manage to bond together City can finish in the top six - but that good mentality does not exist. In the dressing room the foreign players will sit on one bench, and the English players on the other side. I noticed it straight away when I arrived. "It's time City's people realise football is a team sport, and stop telling the papers the foreigners are to blame for their position. "The clash between Barton and Dabo symbolises the two factions at the club. "And the guy who started it is the one who is always creating havoc - this is not the first time he has been involved in something like this." Abdoun then revealed how the incident unfolded. He said: "Barton tackled him from behind, Ousmane repaid him in kind in the next passage of play, and they exchanged words before the training session came to an end. "They continued talking to each other as we returned to the dressing rooms, and began pushing one another. Ousmane told him to stop, and Barton thumped him. "Ousmane had not been expecting the blow, and he was stunned. "As he fell Barton landed two or three more punches, and unfortunately they were all well-aimed." Doesn't paint a pretty picture of Barton. Never the less Willie McKay has been on the radio saying he has "7 or 8" interested parties. Staggered that anyone inside the game who knows what he is like would want him, unless all the managers taking a look have the ego to believe they can change him.

STM Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It's that same arrogance that makes Barton the player he is. The same as Rooney, Zidane, Ronaldo, Cantona and Keane. Footballing wise he shouldn't be said in the same sentence as them but he has a fantastic ability and will be a top player. Watch this space......
