EFC fan in oz Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Tbh i'd take barton think he's got all the attributes of being both a d*ck head and a great player but we do need to improve our squad. Fair enough most don't do what he's done but who knows how much these events have been blown out of proportion by the media. Anyway i think he'd be great to have in our team but if their is any sign of attitude problems or him being a disruptive influence we'd have to get rid of him.

Adams Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 David Moyes is said to be monitoring the situation at Manchester City regarding the future of midfielder Joey Barton at the club. Barton's list of troubles at City is almost endless and this past year it appeared to come to a head in January when he slapped in a transfer request. Middlesbrough immediately offered £4million for his services which was equally quickly turned down by City. Barton later withdrew the request but his actions made him unpopular with a large section of City fans. The Liverpool-born midfielder is said to be an Evertonian and, with just a year to run on his contract at Eastlands, it certainly looks likely that his future lies elsewhere. Everton are not alone in keeping a close eye on the situation as Newcastle have joined Monaco in showing initial interest in Barton whose value to City in the market place decreases by the month.
