My mates a dippers fan, born in London lived in Newcastle his whole life, remarkably he's a good kid, but the way he goes on about Alonso - oh dear.  Genuinely I'd rather have Barton than Alonso, he scores the odd 60 yarder, plays the odd decent pass and he's Pele?!?!  Personally I think Barton is more dynamic.

 

:lol:

Do SSN expect the deal to be completed tonight? I assume he has decided not to talk to West Ham then?

 

They said it could go through tonight

David Craig is pitching up a tent just outside the ground incase it doesn't go through until the morning.

Not sure if that's sarcasm? Alonso pisses all over Barton. Really classy player.

 

Doesn't think they can be directly compared since their style of play is very different.. I feel Barton is more like Sissoko, great tackler, great workrate etc.  Barton's shots and passes are better

Sure they're different. But I'm talking about quality, pure footballing ability...Alonso wins it hands down. I'm always cautious of jumping on the band wagon, but I think pretty much any team could find a place for him in their side.

Can't argue with that! Alonso is, as you said, classy in that kind of way + he's creative. Barton isn't anywhere near that kind of 'elegance', but he's more direct and wins the ball to give players like Alonso room and time to be classy.

 

EDIT: What a shitty sentence..

Check that one.. Opta compared Barton to our current central midfielders. I don't know if our midfield is just s***, or that Barton is pure class - a combination I guess :D

 

Fucking hell thats scary. Emre's are the scariest though for a so called creative player with good vision. We should get shot of him, he doesn't offer much.

Agree, Leazes. 6(!) f****** shots on goal

 

Good point teepee ;D

 

Barton made 69 key passes, in other words chances that their attackers didn't convert into goals. Parker with 17 and one assist.. That's just depressing

Bare(sp?!) in mind that the City team was build around Barton so the stats are a way ahead of what they would be in an "ordinary" team...

 

But, Emre, 6 shots? Jeez, I always thought he was inneffective but that is shite!

i thought barton was a great player but looking at this it just shows our midfiled up well and truely, reflects on how poor we actually were last season.

I don't understand that logic. Whether or not a team is or isn't  built around him how does it affect his ability to pass a ball or shoot?

I really hope this gets com pleted tonight like I think its a great buy even though he has baggage he is 100 times better than what we have in the centre and has the passion and drive that will push us on. More of captains material than parker could ever be

It doesn't affect his ability, but it does affect the frequency of how often he is getting a shot in if the tactics are basically built around giving him shooting opportunities rather than something more balanced.

But he isn't an creative player, he's a deep lying playmaker in the mould of Carrick.

 

If anything it shows what a huge upgrade Barton is on Parker.
