Leazes1986 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Everyone seems quite pleased now. In fact this seems like pretty much the response to any signing in our current state (except for Sib). How many games before people saying hes s***/finished/here for the money/etc? Barton has proved he is a good player though. I think theres a general change in attitude from our fans now when it comes to signings because people seem to have more faith in Allardyce's judgement than they did with Roeder's. If Roeder had signed an unknown player for £1.5m everyone would be saying "who the fuck's this?". If Allardyce brings in a few cheap unknown players i think our fans will be happy and have faith in his judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 well from the MCFC thread it seems we have beaten off precisely no other clubs for this player, just like Viduka no doubt Anything relevant to say on the matter then? totally irrelevant is it? Not by your usual standards, admittedly. But more or less, yes. Didn't see much about other clubs being after Hargreaves or Anderson, this mean Man U are skewered as well? Barton has been linked quite a bit with West Ham as it happens, though that's not really relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 This would have to be worst bit of business this club has done since signing Souness, surely we could do a lot better than than this wast of space Barton, sorry to see Parker go but if he wants to go back to London then it was a good deal we got for him. But for f*** sakes bloody Joey Barton! We are not one of the big teams anymore. Accept it. We have to rebuild. No top top player is gonna sign for us at the minute. We can get good players in like Baines, Ben Haim and Viduka though. If we bring in them kind of players we can get ourselves back into the top 6. That would be the start, then we could think about aiming a bit higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonGeneral Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 We still need another central midfielder even if we sign Barton. I think Big Sam needs to go for Jagielka. He would be a brilliant signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Why do people keep on saying that we can do a lot better than Barton? I must have forgot the past few seasons when we've been challenging for a Champions League place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mongo Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Re: the poll. Happy? No, but excited. I have no idea how this will work out. It's a huge gamble. I tend to like them during the summer. Gives me something to look forward to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Why do people keep on saying that we can do a lot better than Barton? I must have forgot the past few seasons when we've been challenging for a Champions League place. Spot on. We finished one point infront of City last season and they were tipped for relegation at one point. Taking their best player is a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as you can see, people seem to be happy in general. It didn't seem like Roeder could handle the dressing room, and he certainly wouldn't have been able to handle Barton. If Allardyce can't sort him out then i doubt anyone can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Replacing Parker with Barton and making about £1m profit in the process has got to be seen as a decent bit of business surely? Can understand some questioning his temperament like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices are comparable considering the clubs involved. Man U paying 17m is about the same as us paying 5.5m really, as we still don't know Ashley's intentions. Regarding timescale, surely teams have had more time to show interest in Hargreaves? Two players who both wanted to leave, quite comparable circumstances. The buying/selling clubs are a level down in the Barton transfer, just as Barton as a player is a step down from Hargreaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
