You're forgetting the "out-and-out b*ll*cks" bit Holt, which I reckon covers ANYTHING!

You've got to also remember that Barton is not a defensive midfielder. Just because he's violent doesn't mean he's got the skills to sit in front of a back 4 and break up play.

If we bought him I would go for a formation of

           Bent Gabby
Zog   Makoun   Delph Barton

Which would be flexible enough to go

                  Bent
Zog                              Gabby

        Delph Makoun Barton

When required

Then we can spend our Christmas money on genuine sale items, not just old stock! ;-)

Things might be very different then especially in light of what's gone on in the world this week.

Who would be your next club in administration?

Looks pretty good to me les, but I reckon you could put any number of genuinely good Prem-standard midfielders (Parker?) in and it would give us a lot more stability and potential

£70K a week for Barton? Jog on Joey. Jog on.

And I think a lot of other clubs will be saying this. Whoever signs him will not be paying him that much.

I'm coming round to thinking we are not going to sign any more players unless you count random, unknown comedy foreigner type signings like Salifou.

Nice one oldtimer!
Seriously (!!?!!) would love to think we are already talking to him. I reckon he'd be perfect for us and make an eventual great pairing with Clarky. Move over Messrs Dunne n Collins!
