The Midfield

Barton told them they were playing in a shit league against shit teams, to which his teammate replied ''well you didn't get a kick at the weekend''.

Hardly Hartson kicking someone in the head territory, Barton is scum, he'd improve us, do we want to sink to employing scum?

Apparently it is a bit more than that. He had it out with another player Andy Halliday who is a huge fan favourite, and a lifelong Rangers fan. Basically it is Barton being a dick on several levels and something that Warburton wants shot of.

Bit harsh of Joey saying that to Burnley. The Premier League is not completely shit, although Man Utd are pretty bad

[Holte L2]

Absolutely we should be in for Barton. Proven experienced midfielder, leader and has recently won promotion at this level. Absolute no brainer.

If he toughened up our weak as water midfield and helps get us promoted, then it's a big fat yes from me!

I'd get him in like a shot. He's a horrible, self righteous wanker but one that won't stand for losing or people not performing to their optimum. We're too nice to play against, and that needs to stop.

I wanted Ravel Morrison in the summer window but everyone said no more bad eggs in the team,  Now everyone is happy for Joey Barton to come.

Er, what?

Isn't that what people thought when Roy Keane joined the club?

Scott Sinclair's a star in the team that will win the league again but it doesn't count because it's only Scotland.

Joey Barton's getting banged out of a mid-table team and he's just what we need.

This world's moving a bit too fast for me.

Think we could be inventing a new phenomenon on this thread...the panic buy OUTSIDE the transfer window :-)

The fact Barton chose to go to Rangers rather than stay with Burnley or get another championship club shows that he thinks he's on the wain.  By going to Rangers he gets that illusion of being at a big club whilst everyone else knows it league 1 standard at best with 4 proper games a year...money for old rope, got a brain on him that Joey.

Is Jordan Lyden still recovering from his injury at the end of last season or is he fully fit now.

Fair comment Dave but they are different players and Barton won't go missing in games. I really wanted us to go in for Flamini. Better option, same age.

When Keane joined Villa I thought that the length of time he stays will indicate how ambitious Aston Villa thinking he won't want to be around a club with a losing mentality. Did it last 3 months?

Yeah that's why he walked so early.
