I Want Joey Barton back....

The main problem that Joey Barton had was that he wasn't a very good player. You can run around kicking people, kissing your badge and looking intense all you want but personally I think it's what you do with the ball at your feet that counts most. He wasn't very good.


The thread was posted as a bit of a lighthearted joke, but i won't have it that
Joey was a bad player he is and was a top class premiership player.
You all have selective memories if you can't recognise what he did for us as
a player.
A top class premiership player? No he wasn't. I wouldn't be so arrogant as to suggest that you know nothing about football, but I've said for years (more so when he was with us) he was everything wrong with the attitude of some City fans. They'd rather have a badge-kissing clobber than a pay-cheque world beater. And we wonder why we've enjoyed no success!

Barton battled for the club and he cared for the club.
He was a good player in a shite team. We need a Joey Barton right now though a good battler.

Most balanced post in this thread. Sounds crazy I know but somehow I always felt re assured that we wouldn't get steamrollered in midfield when he was in our team.

I'm not saying we buy him back, but it's a player of his style that we really miss at the moment. Joey is a proper scumbag but he was not a bad player at all for us. He scored important goals and worked incredibly hard for the team. If only some of the current lot had his commitment. I feel that he gets some unwarranted criticism from the City fans because he was a good player and if it wasn't for him, we'd have probably been relegated two seasons ago. Most of you seem to forget that and say he's a shit player because of his antics off the field.
 
We don't need Barton back. Not when Bellamy is on his way :-(

BEEN SAYING THIS FOR FUCKING AGES!
No, Joey wasn't Pele, but we never replaced his ball winning bite and drive in the midfield. I would rather have a badge kisser like him in my team than some turn-up-when-i-fancy i-dont-have-a-position-and-havent-deserved-my-place-in-the-team player like Elano.

Yeah thats right.

Oh and whilst we're slagging off Bartons corners, lets think about the last time Elano did something from a corner. Or a freekick for that matter. 2007 was a long time ago!

Rant over!
 
Everone is entitled to there views,but why anyone would want Barton in a City shirt again is beyond me.He should have been kicked out of football for is behaviour,everyone makes mistakes,but he was given more than one chance and still behaved like a egotistical thug he actually is.Yes I do agree that he did fight for the cause,and we need a player of similar commitment.But I for one would never want to see him in a City shirt ever again.
 
Barton is a cancer, a thug, a prick. I can't think of a word to describe how much I despise him.

Some players have talent and the ability to improve a squad, but their attitudes make them more trouble then they are worth. Barton is one of those players.
 
Why all the negative comments about Joey, as far as i'm concerned he's a model professional and a first class role model to young kids out there, anyone who says otherwise is a big faggot
