Romey 1878 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 THE PEOPLE Everton will go in with a second bid to land Manchester City's Joey Barton. I know people are against it but I'd love him here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Dont sit on the fence Number 2700! What have you got against Barton playing for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 He's a scally thug for starters, he'd spend more time in the stands suspended like Dunc, especially if we keep up with this all action style of play, it's a shame as the boy can play a bit.

Mac Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I know I have no choice Mark, but is it is still unacceptable to me. There will be too much baggage with this boy. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinsuffolk Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Mac, I couldn't hope to make the point as well as you, but do agree completely. Joey Barton is a damn good footballer, who would undoubtedly improve our team and his will to win would drive us onwards as a club. However, sometimes principles have to be applied and retained. Joey Barton gives our fine city a bad name with his antics and as such do we really want to give someone like this £40k a week or whatever the rate is? Personally I would rather we keep some principles and get a different player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 You don't say much Phil, but when you do it's worth listening to. My objections are based on a desire to have players our younger fans can aspire to, not drunken oafs who appear to have more money than sense, which with most of them is not hard. I would like to be able to express myself with a little more tact, but bollocks to that. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 great footballer, i hope we get him, and that he could sort out his off the field antics, because he would without doubt improve our side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 NO, why waste money when we need the money for a better player; fernandes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Toffee Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Manny Fernandes proved how good he was today, not for a long time have I seen such flair from someone in a blue shirt, maybe we got a bit with Arteta but this kid takes it to a new level, very impressed. What it comes down to is the cost? Reading this pages, I have seen £6m,£10m and £12m price tags being touted around. If the choice was a £5.5m Joey Barton or a £12m Fernandes, Barton would be my choice. No doubting either of the two players ability, but they are two very different players.

Play next season with 9 men or sumat? Our squad is tiny as it is! Theres no point having a classy midfield and no subs on the bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Maybe we can't have him though, I would rather we got Manny but if it's not possible then I'd happily take BartonI agree. There is no way we can afford to have Arteta, Barton and Fernandes. Too much money to have all three. I want to obviously keep Arteta and find a way to sign Fernandes but if that doesn't work why not go after Barton. He is still very young and really the only attacking player on city that has been good all year, which I guess isn't saying much. If he can control his behavior he would be great at Everton. Who knows maybe Everton will surprise us all and find a way to get all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 9 mil - fernandes 3 mil - Baines then if got enough get barnes - but we wont have enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 i could see it being more for Fernandes more like 12 and thats if we can even afford him, personally I dont fink we will get him because moyes will want more than 1 player and i dont think we will get 12 million to spend unless we sold some1.

Philinsuffolk Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 In mid to late January when we were trying to get Fernandes I wrote about how good and how important a player he could be for us. Yes, we need to add to the squad, but as I see it, lets spend what money we have got on quality - pull out all the stops to get Fernandes and play him with Cahill and Arteta and 1 or 2 other midfielders and we have a midfield as good as ANYTHING in the Premiership. Get that UEFA Cup spot, qualify for the group stages this time and we are entitled to have players of his quality. If we don't you couldn't blame him for going where he can get euro football.
