Joey Barton is on a free...

Second time the prick has turned us down. I sincerely hope even if he matures into Gazza and Messi rolled into one he never gets another chance!

 

[Citizen Green]

Mods can we lock this thread and pretend it never happened, only to be unlocked when we've signed Pogba, Messi and Jo.

We can all have a great fucking laugh then.

Micah loves the club, highly doubt he would advise any player not to sign for us. He's a blue.

The fact he played for us doesn't make him a 'Blue'. He's on his second club now for one. I doubt he'd be belling one of his 'top rated' team mates to fuckoff. Why would he?

Or they threatened to tie him up and talk to him for a few hours non stop. Imagine having to list to that horrible accent. Even James Bond would crack under those circumstances.

The SAS are now trained at this level.

I'm going with the Hodgson theory,the bloke's an utter cockwomble.

Quite possibly but I reckon perhaps Villa made a last minute offer of some kind, maybe something to do with the buy out clause in his contract.

 

[The Count Of Monte Cristo]

Maybe it was a Gerrard type situation, and the Burger Bar Boys threatened to kneecap him if he left!

Them or the Johnson's.

Them or the Johnson's.

Would not be surprised if he ended up at the dippers.

So what? A player changes his mind and doesn't sign for us. If he wants to stay at, what is at best, a mid table club rather than the propsect of playing champions league and challenging for domestic awards, etc, then I really don't think that is the mindset of a player that deserves to be playing for us.

FFS, it's not like Messi has turned us down.

In 20 years when he's doing phone in reports on BRMB we'll still be behind our club.

 

[Evil Genius]

Signing average players for the sake of "Homegrown" is not the way to go. I don't mind the premiums for guys like Sterling because they have massive potential and are already performing well.
