Minsk Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 lol....newcastle are going daaaaarn i would find it highly amusing if they did. And I can see them giving Blackburn, Wigan, Swansea, Narwich and QPR a good run for their monies at the bottom end of the table (although that's maybe being a bit unfair to Narwich).

Dalek2003 Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 I think Norwich will do surprisingly well this season. They have a good manager and made some shrewd signings early on in the summer.

Minsk Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 According to Sporting Life Arsenal, Spuds and Stoke have made enquiries. If true, that would be 2 of last season's top 6 interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 Barton Is a top, top player and would walk in to Arsenal's, Man Utd's or Tottenham's sides. He IS maturing too and would relish the challenge and pressure of playing for one of the big guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 1 August, 2011 Share Posted 1 August, 2011 His agent was spouting off on 5 live this evening. None other than Willie McKay, Harry the Twitch's best mate and brown paper bag supplier. According to the morose scotch git, he's already had calls from leading prem managers (no prizes on offer there) and Arsenal would have won the league last year if they had signed Joey. This was poo-poohed by 5 live's panel of experts and Robbie Savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 I would be tempted but I would have concerns that he would be too similar to Richard Chaplow. Seriously, we already have his type of player. No for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 3 August, 2011 Share Posted 3 August, 2011 I assume you're just taking the p*ss? why? We are the best supported club outside of London and Manchester and an unstoppable charge to the champions league, are the most attracctive team for a player outside of the top 4 and have been since we finished 7th in league one, who woulndn't want to join us? It's if we want him but as pointed out by Colinjb, we already have Richard Chaplow and they are quite similar so we'll pass this time thanks.

Not to mention we're the new Millwall off the pitch, I'm sure that would appeal to Barton's nature. Don't really know why I so readily dismissed the idea of him coming here. Once the stadium expansion is fully completed, it will be like he's never left SJP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
