Everton_Worshiper Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 No, no, no! Barton is too hot and cold, when he plays well he is great but when he is not playing well is he absolute garbage and seems to be bad more often that he is good. Would be a bad signing IMO.

Adam Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 All this over a report that does not quote anyone that we have made 'initial' contact. What does that mean anyway???? We have asked if he is allowed to leave but got put off after being told we would have to pay a transfer fee??? As a few other people have said other areas that need adding to first and can only see him joining if someone (Cahill) leaves. Would rather spend the money getting cover for defence and attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to hear an alleged 'big name' get linked with Everton and just want to see us sign them all...reality is Moyes will only sign the players he thinks will fit into the team and IMO Barton does not, he is nothing special and seems to be a trouble maker.

I just grew up without a positive Male role model in my life and too many people turned their back on me down the line, with a bit of maturity i completely wiped away peoples perceptions but still hold a level of bitterness that i had to claw my way there on my own! Very few people are genuinly bad and strong management, parents or peers can help the people who struggle and bring out the best in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsmith69 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Everton boss unlikely to move for City star 13:31 6/20/2006 Reports linking Joey Barton with a move to Goodison Park have been played down Mail The Everton Journo Leave A Comment On Our Message Board Send This Article To A Friend The controversial midfielder has just one year left on his Manchester City contract and has yet to agree a new deal. Everton have been credited with an interest in the player, who was on the Toffees' books as a youngster but the Liverpool Echo suggests that manager David Moyes will look elsewhere for further signings after already splashing out £13m this summer. this was on fansfc.com i want him personally but if moyes doesnt the never mind, in moyes we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
