Feel free to shoot me down but... I mentioned a while ago about Joey Barton in the New Signings thread and nobody seemed to take any notice. But I keep hearing it over and over!! As I explained, the spares rep for my company is a big villa fan but always seems to get stoke news ahead of other people. He mentioned to me that Stoke had made an enquiry some time ago. Then mentioned that Newcastle were interested in Lawrence. Which ties in with DV's exchange rumour. I have just been told that Newcastle's valuation was originally £5m+ which Stoke outright rejected. But apparently this has been dropped and it looks to be a straight deal of around 4m. Just passing it on.

Tone can't handle a stroppy ginge so he thinks Barton is the ideal man for his midfield, that would be a pisser. He'd ruin us but ahh fuck it with some of the names we've been linked with so far! ;D

He is scum and should not be allowed near our football club, he is the one player that a club should be ashamed to employ

I hope the exchange deal is a player plus cash for Carrol. I really can't see TP going in for bollock chops Barton with his track record, although Carrol dropped a few clangers last season (smacking Taylor in the mouth one example)

Was a very creative player in his past, and regaining form would be exactly what we need.

The bloke has an appalling history of wrong-doing but I heard him interviewed a while back and he seemed genuinely contrite (has to I guess). Now, I 'd be uncomfortable if we did sign him but the decision would be TP's and PC's and we have to trust them. If it's possible to ignore his past, he has been an excellent player, possibly just short of England class due to lack of pace. I'm really ambivalent on this but you'd be surprised if we went for Barton and Carroll!!!!!!

I mean no disrespect jimmygscfc but I had to have a little snigger at.................. "possibly just short of England class due to lack of pace" Having just witnessed England's CLASS and the pace of Gareth Barry, you'll understand what amuses me so much. ;D

i'd have him at stoke he is a bit of a nutter but fuck me he's passionate he is a good example of proper british spirit and he'll give us everything. not only that but he is a decent player and he still has 5 years in him easy. i'd even love to see him to be in the next england squad he'll work a damn site harder than any of the players on display yesterday

"He's a perfect example of British Spirit"???????
He's a perfect example of all that is wrong in Britain and Sport today. I wouldn't give a toss if he was better than Messi, I'd hate my club to sign this poor excuse for a human being.

As long as everyone stays away from Hanley on Saturday nights then we'll all be happy with Carroll, Pennant and Barton in the side.

He's an accident waiting to happen, dressing room poison and hasn't played consistently well for about five years.
Shocking idea.

Barton, no thanks.
He would wreck what we have in the dressing room plus I hate him so much.
Fans get banned from football matched for life for fighting so he should be banne aswell.
He is a poor excuse for a footballer and a human being.
If he signs for Stoke, the fist F**K up on the pitch he causes I will personally jump on the pitch and drag him off and lock him up myself.
Rant over.

I really can't see TP going in for bollock chops Barton with his track record, although Carrol dropped a few clangers last season (smacking Taylor in the mouth one example) I would argue that smacking Taylor in the chops is far from dropping a clanger. I would love to. My conclusion for what its worth Carrol yes(the new Big Dunc in time), Barton hmmmmmm good player no doubt but too much of a disruptive risk.

This is where the cunt/playing ability graph comes into play.
The bigger the cunt, the better he has to be at football.
Barton fails, Carroll passes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_BartonSorry but sometimes you have to look past the talent, and look at the above link (if it works, if not just type it into a seperate window) and look at all the things he has done?? Some of it beggars belief to be honest, and I for one would find it very hard to cheer for a bloke who has done stuff like attack a 15yr old boy and stub fags in people's eyes!!

Yes Barton is that far up the Kunty scale that there aint a computer package that could compute the data and produce the graph required. He is no doubt better than what we have in midfield however. His other problem would be that he would find plenty of willing participants in a saturday night bout of Queensbury rules up Hanley duck!!He would probably be injured most of the time from having had the piss beaten out of him by Stoke fans.

I would never boo a Stoke player; but if that piece of shit ever played at my club I would very happily boo him. He's puer scum and shouldn't be allowed to play.

Ooooooh Joey Barton......
No thank you. The only time I want to see him at the Britannia is playing for the opposition; Joey Barton + Andy Wilkinson = CARNAGE!
