Allardyce interested in Luke Young ... Barton deal could fall through

[toontownman]

Defensively better than both, if he is on.

 

Better player than Solano all round, not for me.

[gray]

I reckon young would do well under Sam.

[jong24]

Need a left back more than a right back tbh. What is it with this club and their inability to sign a decent f****** left back!

 

It's starting to piss me off now! 

[1878]

Barton's a cnut..we all know it...just showing his spots now...if we have any sense, we'll recognise the disloyal, moneygrabbing, toxteth tawt and drop our offer faster than Michael Jakson tries to drop his kids!

 

Huyton tbh.

[SUPERTOON]

The Journal has a different view.

 

Bartons Agent says he is joining newcastle and we have been linked with Marseille RB

[papo]

Zubar?? or Beye?

[Guest alex]

Rod Little is a dreadful, dreadful twat, and best ignored.

Totally agree. What an odious wanker he is. I like the Sunday Times but his column in the sport section is appalling. He's basically a WUM. Hates the toon. He was brought up on Smogside and has family there which explains a lot I rate Luke Young btw.

It's June ffs.

didn't realise it was by him, suddenly it all makes perfect sense. bloke who i don't even think is interested in football twisting his miniscule knowledge of the game into misinformed, grotesque vignettes.

 

Though wiki claims he is a Millwall supporter, he was brought up in Nunthorpe, Teesside - sums up that particular article, and any artcicl he writes about Newcastle United

He is a Millwall fan. He's always having a pop at us though.

[Guest Guinness]

I can't believe this City payment is holding the Barton deal up so much, if he wants the move so badly why doesn't he just drop his demands? That club has done a hell of a lot for him, I'd have thought he'd have just let it drop, it's not as if he won't be earning enough to make it up.

 

As for Luke Young, I'd take him. He's a solid enough player and could add some much needed depth to the back line.

[Optimistic Nut]

Never seen the hype. Was never good enough for Spurs, and has been never been any more than ok at Charlton.

[junkhead]

from what i've seen Young is like Carr going forward.. can't dribble, can't cross, can't play a through pass

Carr of course can't defend at all, so Young would still be a better option

[Lotus]

Young does not have the necessary athleticism imo.

[Boey_Jarton]

Young does not have the necessary athleticism imo.

 

Nor the ability

Elsewhere on Timesonline:

 

Meanwhile, Mark Viduka – that personification of the modern club player, a remarkably skilful individual who chooses to put himself out and run about a bit only when faced with the sort of opposition he believes to be commensurate with his immense talents – is on his way to that Theatre of Perpetually Buggered Dreams, St James’ Park. Where he will be enjoined by Sam Allardyce to form a striking partnership with that other mercenary Obafemi Martins. A partnership: now let’s think about that for a moment. Have either of these players, throughout their careers, been able to form successful partnerships with anyone other than their accountants? Or shown the slightest wish so to do? There is no great surprise or displeasure among the Boro fans at the departure of the great Australian pie-bucket, despite the fact that he scored a lot of goals for them last time out and their side will probably struggle next season and be fortunate to stay up, in the end.

 

At least, with Mark Viduka, you cannot even kid yourself about such stuff as loyalty; he has never remotely pretended to have any.

 

Seems a bit harsh on you Oba

Who buys such shite ?

The Times were right about Owen's escape clause though, it would seem

[Keefaz]

I'd rather we dropped the deal than be forced into paying 300k to that twat. we've been saying for years now that the character of the player is just as important as what he does on the pitch. Was that just hot air?

We wouldn't be paying £300k, City would.

'One means of breaking the impasse might be if Newcastle paid the £300,000 but they are already committed to paying Barton £16m over five years, having agreed to triple the player’s City salary.'

It's fucking £300,000. He's already got triple the salary, you're advisors are there for a reason Barton, listen to them and get over it; you're already gonna get £16m off us if you stay out your contract. Greedy bastard

[geordie jamie]

I assume the transfer wont be imminent then if this payment row is preventing transfer from going through.

[Keefaz]

Honestly, who gives a toss? We need bother like this like we need a hole in the head. Tell the twat to fuck off and enjoy his glorious career at the Hammers. He's a good player for the price, but his baggage could be costly in the long-run.
