Dave Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 fucking disgusting piece of business, worse than Viduka *trawls back for initial reactions to Bowyer's signing* Good luck with that. aye, thanks to the ethnic cleansing by HTT Got to maintain the forum tbh, the oldest thread is currently 18th April 2006.

STM Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Maybe its just a case Barton holding on until he is sure Parker is away before he signs for us.. Parker was in London on Thursday having talks with the Hammers was'nt he? Maybe so but Newcastle would still have needed word on whether he actually wanted to move there. For some reason deals often get confirmed early in the week, there is nothing to say we were not talking to Barton at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well if the BBC story about the Blades being in contention for re-instatement is true then you would have thought Parker might wait until 18th June before he signs http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/6716185.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I think Barton is a better player than Parker, though admittedly not by a massive distance. His off-field problems are a major concern, but MAGIC Sam obviously thinks he can deal with this. Just have to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 If Barton was signing for anyone else, it'll all be "he's a lunatic, a loose cannon, never settle in, waste of money". Being a NUFC fan is funny as f***. Nah, I'd think it would be pretty much exactly the same. Good player, mentalist attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Disciplinary problems Manchester City considered sacking Barton after an incident at a Christmas party where he poked a cigar in junior player Jamie Tandy's eye. The following summer Barton was sent home from a pre-season tournament in Thailand after becoming involved in a fight with a young Everton supporting child,[4] and also saw an altercation with team-mate Richard Dunne which resulted in Dunne injuring his foot after kicking a wall in anger. These incidents resulted in Barton undergoing anger management therapy at the request of Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce and paying out £120,000 in club fines.[5] On 30 September 2006, he was captured by television cameras[6] exposing his rear end to Everton fans following Manchester City's injury-time equaliser in a game at Goodison Park.[7] On October 10, Merseyside Police looked into it but took no further action, but Barton was fined £2,000 and warned about his future conduct by the FA, escaping a ban. On 13 March 2007, Barton was arrested on suspicion of criminal assault and criminal damage after an alleged argument with a taxi driver in Liverpool, while going to his hotel after a match.[8] On 1 May 2007, Barton was suspended by Manchester City until the end of the 2006/07 season, after a training ground incident during which he assaulted his team mate Ousmane Dabo. Dabo stated that he had been hit several times, and had to go to hospital after suffering injuries to his head during the incident, including a suspected detached retina.[9] After Barton's suspension he was reported to be holed up at a golfing resort on the Algarve. [10]. On 5 May 2007 it was reported that Dabo has requested that the police press charges against Barton.[11] A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed that police will interview Barton about the incident.[12] Reported 8 May 2007, Barton's contract was put on the open market by Manchester City Football Club. M.C.F.C. will take the first offer of the remaining £5.5m of his contract to break their relationship. [13] On 16 May 2007, Barton was arrested and questioned by Greater Manchester Police following Dabo's accusations of assault. Barton has since been bailed until July. He remains suspended by Manchester City. [14] That still makes me laugh. And the bit about the police looking into his rear is well written. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Parker is a player you would think the club would want to keep, yet West Ham enquire about him and the club could say no he is not for sale or ask what they are offering. You would think if we wanted to keep him then a £7mill offer would be refused yet it seems the fee was agree'd pretty dam quickly. I am still very much of the opinion that Parker told the club he wnated away and that they are better off listening to offers for him. No point trying to keep a player that does not want to be here is therte really and when you can make a proffit ont hat player then do the deal..

Guest Guinness Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I've got mixed news on this transfer. On the one hand he's a very good player who seems to give his all. On the other hand he's a complete psycho who beats up his team mates. If Allardyce can control him then it could be a good bit of business, but judging by his previous actions that could prove difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 have though for a good year that Barton is a close to the perfect partner for Emre as anyone in the prem great, great news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Barton is a significantly better player than Parker, so on the face of it this is brilliant business. However, we all know his off the field problems are a real worry. If he was to sort himself out and start acting in a bit more professional manner, then we could have gotten ourselves a very good signing. Type of player that can drive his side forward from midfield. Sort of like a lesser version of Gerrard IMO. Personally I think the guy is a lunatic and he'll end up having a semi-succesful career here before being peddled in about three years. Hope I'm wrong, cos I really rate him as a player.

colinmk Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I think he has what the midfield has been lacking for a while, genuine drive and aggression. Parker tried but he never really settled into the role we need. Good deal imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
