Joey Barton's predictable exit from Manchester City is almost complete with the England international set for a move to Sam Allardyce's new-look Newcastle.

 

Once again this presents the opportunity for an Opta Audit to see what Barton will add to the Magpies' midfield.

 

Newcastle failed to score in 17 of their 38 league games in 2006-07, their worst performance in Premiership history, so goals from Barton would certainly be welcome, and he scored as many as the main Newcastle central midfielders last season all by himself.

 

Player Goals

Joey Barton 6

Scott Parker 3

Belozoglu Emre 2

Nicky Butt 1

 

 

And while Allardyce will be keen to see his midfield protect the often-porous Newcastle defence, Barton's ability to get forward and shoot on sight will make him a different proposition to the likes of the now-departed Scott Parker.

 

Player Shots On Target

Joey Barton 29

Nicky Butt 2

Scott Parker 15

Belozoglu Emre 6

 

 

Furthermore, Emre's total of just six shots on target all season was an extremely poor return from the Turk. Creatively Barton also outshone the Newcastle men last season, creating four goals for low-scoring Manchester City and creating 69 other goalscoring chances. Parker came nowhere near these totals.

 

Player Goal Assists Key Passes

Joey Barton 4 69

Nicky Butt 2 10

Scott Parker 1 17

Belozoglu Emre 2 36

 

 

But if there was no downside to Joey Barton then other, perhaps bigger, clubs would surely be rivalling Newcastle for his signature, yet they are not.

 

Barton's weakness seems to be a disciplinary one, both off the field and on it, and while none of Newcastle's central midfielders saw red in the last campaign, Barton was sent off against Sam Allardyce's Bolton and was booked on a further 10 occasions.

 

Player Yellow Cards Red Cards

Joey Barton 10 1

Nicky Butt 5 0

Scott Parker 9 0

Belozoglu Emre 6 0

 

 

Nonetheless, if his new manager can tame Barton's wild ways, then he could quickly become a redeemed man in the cauldron of north-east football.

Fair enough. O0

 

As I said before, it just shows what a massive upgrade he'll be over Parker.

 

definetely Parker really didn't do much for us last season and that is exclaimed in this article!

I'm sure at least half of Parker's 15 shots only troubled the lads in row Z.
