NickG Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 is top 6 premiership level - this has what to do with saints?
Minsk Posted 1 August, 2011 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).

benjii Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 I heard that Pardew ****ged Barton and, unsurprisingly, he's not best pleased.
Dalek2003 Posted 1 August, 2011 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. Certainly do not think they will be relegated.

Minsk Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 im sure super manager pardew will see them alright How couldn't he?
lordswoodsaints Posted 1 August, 2011 Author Posted 1 August, 2011 is top 6 premiership level - this has what to do with saints? Top 6 prem level?...I don't think I'd go that far! He's certainly a good player but his temperament offsets all the good stuff he does and a lot of teams won't touch him.
Minsk Posted 1 August, 2011 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.
smithy Posted 1 August, 2011 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. Certainly do not think they will be relegated. Agreed
NickG Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 Man U reported to have made an enquiry end of last season
sambosa75 Posted 1 August, 2011 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.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 Who gives a toss - let's sign him...money's no problem...we'll be out of this league this season anyway, so splash the cash.
Benj Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 Still remember his dickish celebration infront of us away to Man City in the cup a few years back.
Lets B Avenue Posted 1 August, 2011 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.
labibs Posted 2 August, 2011 Posted 2 August, 2011 I was wondering when we would see the 'let's sign Barton thread'. Words fail me.
scotty Posted 2 August, 2011 Posted 2 August, 2011 im sure super manager pardew will see them alright Good old Pards............lol I heard that Pardew ****ged Barton and, unsurprisingly, he's not best pleased. I have to confess that when I heard barton was told he could f*ck off on a free, my first thought was that pards doesnt fancy his bird then....
Colinjb Posted 2 August, 2011 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.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 August, 2011 Posted 2 August, 2011 Close this thread and ban the OP. FFS.
kenneth_kenobi Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 Would love him, but he will go to ManUre, Arsenal or Spuds, so next post............................................
doddisalegend Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 LOL yes Barton would come to saints............ Just assuming the impossible did happen. Why would people want another player (Barton) who is trouble every where he goes considering how much they couldn't wait to get rid of Puncheon for his lack of (allegedly) team spirit and general trouble causing ways?
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 Appart from the fact he's a top player and wouldn;t come to us, yes, like a shot. Been following him on twitter and he comes accross as pretty level headed and fairly inteligent.

I assume you're just taking the p*ss?

What's his problem , then? He had a year to run, he wanted an extension to his contract and Newcastle said "no, we want younger, better, cheaper". That's football life. They could have asked for a fee for him, but aren't. So he's lucky, innit?

sambosa75 Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 good point maybe these people forget that they only play football for a living when they're demending more money a week than I will earn in a year...... The real quote was "The truth is they want a younger, cheaper, better player but don't want to spend any money... it's genius really haha"
Turkish Posted 3 August, 2011 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.
Leicestersaint Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 No thank you - Barton destroys teams' morale.

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.
