Wullie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Don't need Nolan now we have an attacking midfielder in Barton. Why do i get the feeling that the Barton thing was only going through after Parker had gone. Does this indicate a lack of funds? Yes, Allardyce is still working with the same money we started the summer on remember? He can't go flashing the cash before the Ashley situation is finalised.

Why do i get the feeling that the Barton thing was only going through after Parker had gone. Does this indicate a lack of funds? Probably intelligence tbh. Two very similar players, only one needed.

This deal can happen regardless of the takeover situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I wonder who Sam will pick as captain then - I bet it's Joey Barton! nah, Nicky Butt pipping Given to it for the same reason Parker did - a keeper isn't considered to be as effective a captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank fuck he's gone. There wasn't a single day he was at the Club that I thought him worthy of wearing the shirt. He was never the type of player we needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Allardyce is still working with the same money we started the summer on remember? He can't go flashing the cash before the Ashley situation is finalised. I wasn't sure whether he had been allocated money by us or whether we were waiting for the takeover. Either way it can't harm us that we have a man CAPABLE of working with a small budget.

Yorkie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Don't need Nolan now we have an attacking midfielder in Barton. Why do i get the feeling that the Barton thing was only going through after Parker had gone. Does this indicate a lack of funds? Shepherd has said that there was going to be funds from the word go, like February time. There's every chance that we hung back in siging Barton, because we didn't know whether we'd need him or not.

Skirge Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think it had nothing to do with a lack of funds and more to do with the fact that every club tries their luck in every deal they do, if you can pay for a player in instalments then thats better for the club. After West Ham made their offer and I bet they offerd the cash up front to try and get in ahead of us, then we had no choice but to make it a cash upfront offer too. The hanging back on letting Parker go was bound to happen until Sam was sure that Barton would sign for us.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Shame it didn't work out for Parker. If someone had told me 12 months ago, that we'd be selling him now, i'd be absolutely gobsmacked. This is for the best though, it's a good deal for a player that wasn't good enough. Take care, Scotty. Good luck - you'll need it down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggybread Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 agree with yorkie looking back 12 months ago i would be absolutely fuming, now i'm not bothered at all. think 7m is to cheap though, regular england squad player and west ham seem to have money to burn, think we could have got a couple more £.

Guest SLK Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Parker has been replaced. Emre needs to go now. Mate Emre is quality...He just needs a full season without any injuries, racisim bullsh8t accusations, a good manager and someone decent next to him in the centre of the park...

oldtype Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 he had his good moments and his bad wish him all the best, gutted for my mate that got his name on the back of their new shirt though f*** me, I own a Parker game-worn shirt. Oh well, I suppose I can still appreciate it. Regardless of his talents as a player, which I still think were a lot better than people gave him credit for, he's one of the more admirable personalities we've had in our squad. Hope he does well at West Ham so he'll get poached by a different club ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Felt like the moment he was made captain, his game fell apart. It looked like he was more interested in leading by example than being the monster he was in the Arsenal game. Wish him luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
