Barton scandal

Not saying we should break our wage structure, but would of liked us to at least test the water.

by the way, I dont see how being guilty of gamesmanship makes you a coward.

I would consider him a coward regardless of anything he has done on a football pitch.
 
I wasnt defending his behaviour. I am merely saying hes a quality player. Of course Osman is a lovely bloke im sure, but if you think hes better than Barton then I think youre mistaken by a long chalk. He would be the first name for me on an England team sheet for his commitment, but he wont be cos we all know who runs the FA, we know why Clough was never the England manager ( but a tit like Hoddle was), Gareth Barry will be playin as we bow out of another major tournament.....
 
Indeed, what he did against Arsenal just confirmed how much of a coward he is.

Anyway, im sure he will do well in The Championship next Season.

To be honest im gutted he's not rotting in a cell instead of earning millions but at least we aren't signing him. I've said it before but I would not attend a match nor give Everton a penny from my pocket while he was on the payroll.
 

What a waste of a post , absolute rubbish , Osman , Rodwell and Neville better than Barton , have you ever watched a game of football in your life ???? Iam baffled here Iam , he may have baggage and be a risk but he's far better than them 3 , it's not even open for debate ,
Yeah, mate. Probably more than you, to be honest, especially if you spend the time loudmouthing it to any mates you might possess instead of watching the game. Osman, I would rate above him given his last season. That's an opinion and one not often shared by forum Football Manager fanboys.

Rodwell and Neville I said 'potentially' - I see reading isn't a strong point with you either - because a midfield isn't just made up of particular types of players, thus you need your Nevilles and Heitingas and it depends on what formation or tactics you are trying to use (notice I didn't put Heitinga or Anichebe in there).

If he had no baggage and if his wages were reasonable I'd have been happy to have him or a similar player as a squad player, which doesn't mean he wouldn't play just that he wouldn't be first on the list. I still think we are OK in midfield.
 
If moyes didn't want him tha t is good enough for me. If he did and was blocked for reasons other than cash then not happy. In general a good player but not great and a timebomb with no guess as to when, where or how it might go off.
 
leon osman as good as joey barton ,hey luv do me a favour pass me that super glue out the back kitchen, fuken hell .leon osman
Joey tried to con the ref against Arsenal, I think you will find cheat as the best description , then in that case my favourite Everton player Mikel Arteta must be the biggest coward in the league , continually tries to con the ref for fouls all through the game , Joey laced a lad while on the floor, it was seen on camera and it's difficult to defend his actions on that occasion but what you lot don't know is if some 6'6 bodybuilder came round the corner 10 minutes later looking for him Joey would stand and trade punches with him too , the lad has anger issues yes, but he'd tackle a tank and be 100% committed in anything he done , now iam by no means saying Joey's all sweet and innocent but he's by no means a coward , maybe calling him a coward under a false name with a stupid avatar on an Internet forum would be seen upon as more of a coward , as for Osman , Rodwell and Neville being better players , that's an opinion against someone you don't like , ability wise no comparison

Funny how it always seems to be youth players and easy targets rather than body builders though.
 
Origanly i would have had him in a heart beat, but with the advent of Barkley - we dont need him - if we are going to sign a midfeilder we need someone with a different style i.e. an out and out winger. Rather then a central midfeilder oushed out on the flank.

Did you just offer people out on the internet for Joey Barton?

Basically, if your Joey wants it, I can supply him with it, anytime he wants.
