Joey Barton completes move for £5.8m - Man City


Recommended Posts

I liked Parker a lot, his twirls pissed me off at times but I liked him.

 

I thought Barton was a better player, I had my doubts over his mentalness, unfortunately it has turned out much worse than I ever feared.

Ronaldo- I thought Oba had a decent first season sprinkled with some impressive performances. After that it was an extremely mediocre effort by a seemingly unmotivated player who's attitude was questionable, especially during the relegation season.

It only dawned on me during the Boro game that it's been a while since he played for us. He is possibly our best player ability wise, so excited to see what he can add to us if were already playing well.

 

Proof?

Out of interest who do you drop for him?

 

Granted, he would get in ahead of Nicky Butt & Geremi (he's still in our squad...how?!) but neither Smith nor Nolan can be dropped from our starting eleven in this division. Maybe when we play 4-5-1 away from home he can come in alongside Smith in the middle (Nolan supporting), but this keeps Guthrie marooned out on the right where he's clearly not comfortable...despite being effective last week.

You've hit the nail on the head there, Barton will also have to play on the right, meaning no more Guthrie.

Barton and Guthrie are both central midfielders who have been forced to play wide to accomodate Nolan. For me Nolan's the worst of the three which is why we play rubbish football but he gets the goals.

Guthrie is one of the CCC most creative players we cant drop him for someone as poor a Joey Barton............whats next bring in Geremi because that is the level were talking at when people talk about bringing in J.Barton. Fucking Pancake is in front of Barton as well.

Guthrie does not have the traditional qualities of winger but I think it is fare to call him a right-sided midfielder. This he is centre midfielder talk is bollocks man he has played out on the right for so long now I think of him as someone who could cover if we were short of CM rather than CM playing out wide.

And some people have had a go at Guthrie all season...

I'm looking forward to Barton getting back.  Were playing well and he's capable of taking the teams play up a notch. 

 

Anyone know when he may return?

 

I see we're getting to that point where we forget how poor he is again. He's a back up player in my eyes, infact i would consider loaning him out just to save a bit of money.
