Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have mixed feelings about Barton, when he goes off the boil he is complete shit but when hes on one hes fucking superb, and he loses his temper a bit too much. If we got him id fully expect DM to work with him on controlling his temper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 i think moyes wud b good at tht, i think weve got a realllllly hard job decidin our midfield weve got a fair few midfield problems for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Its better having good problems like who to pick out of alot of options rather than no options and scraping a midfield together though isnt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonblue Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've cut and pasted the article:- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everton Football Club are today being linked with Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton in an attempt to improve their squad ahead of the new season. After completing the signing of Andy Johnson today, Everton are set to sign a couple of players with one of those being Barton. Joey Barton who’s future has been unclear since handing in a transfer request late in the January Transfer Window is a keen Everton fan, and it seems as though the Merseyside club are set to get another top signing this summer. This approaches IFF with a man in the know serving as a source, no fee has been suggested by our man yet, but once we get the information we will keep you the fans up to date.

CraccerC Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 dunno tho... think about it this way who will thread the balls thru to our new 8.6 striker? gonan say arteta arent ya? then surely he MUST play in the middle right? u cant thread balls from the wing it jus isnt the same u cant get thte chemistry.... then what about cahill and neville? if we sign barton surely neville will lose out meaning the probable captain is dropped? i doubt moyes wud bench him he loves him, but then surely cahill cant be dropped? so who do u play? cant play em all u need wide men coz all good teams have a DM and wide men, look at arsenal they play narrow n they struggle, they are far mroe skilled, better passers, and far more intelligent players so whats yours team gonan be? or more the question what's moyes' gonan be? i cant see it , i can only think hell stick with neville and cahill, but maybe move neville should we sign barton in this case..... so then were stil lgonan suffer because our best passer who should be in midfield spraying it and dictating the game isnt there anyone agree? i might make a topic for this myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 If we sign Barton and another quality player the teams that finished above us last season are going to be nervous about us shitting all over them next season. To Craccer - What if DM decided to radically change the formation and played 3-4-1-2 that would solve the midfield problems and your theory that Cahill plays better when more attack minded, so play him behind Beattie and Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 yeh but thts wat am sayin thts wer u need arteta to carve em open .... and also who u gonna drop for the 3 at the back? valente is too good at gettin up n puttin balls in ,and hibbert has done a good job at right back is that wat u think hell do?

Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Theres no chance in hell DM will have that formation and nor will it ever have crossed his mind, but its just what sprung to my mind Howard Yobo Huth Phil/Valente Osman Arteta Barton VDM/Gera (if you what you think is true) Cahill Beattie Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 if thts gonna appen timmy needs to work extra hard this summer on his passing... and id av gera right and vdm left, and av ossie on bench but iunno... i jus think with tht we'll get raped down the flanks but a lot of teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) I know we would thats why it wont happen, im just saying that formation would solve the problems you brought up. I would love him to try that formation out in a cup against a lower league club though Edited May 31, 2006 by EFCfan2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 LOAD OF BOLLOX Moyes says, "we are gonna get another player in the next few days" So, open season on anyone, barton is out of MC 2 + 2 = 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouse Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 It would be great if we signed Barton and Lescott, than is an improvement in every area. Moyes could go with Neville holding and a three man midfield so to speak with Cahill, Arteta and Barton accross the middle Nuno and Hibbo going down the flanks with Neville covering?

CraccerC Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 ^ barton would hold, and neville would be benched.... or played sumwer in defence but mroe than likely benched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 straight swap IMO if barton came, like cracca said, neville benched barton on. i dont see it happening meself but it would be a good signing if it did fuckin nutter though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beattie Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Do you really think we can get Barton now? Especially as he has already had a clash wiv an Everton fan recently. Love to sign him but he would cost a bomb. Can't see where we are getting all this money from : AJ £8.6m, Lescott around £5m, and favourites to sign Robert Huth for £5.5m <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 wer not gettin huth apparnty, wages to big, off to wigan apparantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I dunno about Barton! He can Play Amazing! and Score Amazing goals, but a times just Snapps Players and looses his head on then he is off? Could he get into our Midflied? Arteta, Cahill will Defo be in our Midfield? Osman looked Great last season? VDM fighting for a place? Carsley?

Romey 1878 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I was going to suggest going for Huth on a season long loan but i cant see Huth going for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 that wat i would do bring Huth on in a loan. Realy hope we get barton, how much is he?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
