Joey Barton

[Triggaaar]

If he's going to a championship team, they're getting an excellent player. If he chooses which team he wants to play for, they may even get one with the right attitude.

 

[Gullys Cats]

If he can keep his cool he is a great player

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

He is just a bad egg. Look at what happened when Newcastle got him and Nolan out of the dressing room. He isn't a bad player, not as good as he thinks he is, but would probably bring something to the team. For the MASSIVE disharmony that he would undoubtedly bring to the dressing, however, a THOUSAND times no.

If he can keep his cool he is a great player

He's proved time after time that he can't

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Some of you lot seem to think this game is a popularity contest....it's not!

Agree with you, but at the same time I like to think I'd always be proud to say I support the Albion, which I think I'd find very hard if we signed someone who has his record/attitude.

 

[Albumen]

A timebomb and he'd think the championship was now below him (which it should be). He'd be on the England bench if it wasn't for his brain so only the desperate need apply.

 

[Rugrat]

I guess a Championship team is possible given nobody in the Prem wants to be associated with him.

I'd have thought Leeds would have been a perfect fit for him, will fit in culturally and Colin obviously sees something in the pillock

 

[somerset]

Scum,.... northern scum at that,.... worst of all combinations........ no bleedin thanks, I would rather continue with Dicker than have Barton.

 

[Gullys Cats]

He's proved time after time that he can't

True

 

[Gritt23]

No way, wouldn't want him anywhere near the club, as all of his ability is massively over-shadowed by the negative effect he can have on and off the field. A stupid red card waiting to happen, and divisive off the field.

 

[JCL]

Obnoxious excuse for a human being and, with his nasty and uncontrollable traits, the worse possible example to all our young Seagulls supporters.

This.

He's a thug - how low do you want to drag our standards?...

 

[Icy Gull]

Wouldn't last a day with Gus

 

[Aadam]

Negative Ghost Rider.

Besides, if he were to go out on loan it would be to which ever club could contribute most to his £80,000 a week wage, and that wouldn't be brighton.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Never mind his attitude. His passing stats were terrible last season. He gave the ball away more than any other player on their team.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I have a hunch he will end up at Blackburn. The whole setup at Blackburn is completely dysfunctional enough for them to sign Barton. No club with half an ounce of sense would touch Barton with a pole. "Sense" & "Blackburn" don't combine together in any form.

 

[middletoenail]

What's the problem with a loan? If he comes and gets his head down we have a player who is far too good for the Championship, if he continues to be a cock we get rid, like Razak.

 

[HenryC]

I'd rather play with 10 men

Having attended the amazing Burnley game, I'd rather play with 9 !!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He is a decent footballer though

He isn't. His stats are appalling, his pass completion rate is very poor.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Cannot believe this question has been asked. Of course we would never want him, why would we??

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

If he can keep his cool he is a great player

A) he can't and B) he isn't. What attributes does he possess which make you think he is a great player?
