Big TRon 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Not having seen much of him before he came here, I was surprised how sluggish he looked. He seems to do a lot of the good things which midfielder should do but just not quite well enough...apart from being a dickhead which he's excelled at so far. Is there a player in there or is it just hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Tried his best to force him out at City according to a fan I know. Only Pearce made him stay. So I guess his days are numbered, especially given the court stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Cheers. Apparently Joey wasn't a big fan of Keegan either. No great loss then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I remember Keegan saying once that Barton took some managing ie like Bellamy for instance, but he was worth the effort. Which is what good managers ought to do. I fail to see what being a nob has any relevance to if he performs. If you disagree, then you will sharp change your mind if he scored the winner in the FA Cup Final, or alternatively you could give your ticket away on a matter of principle because a scumbag is playing for the toon. Yes, I think I know the answer to this particular scenario ......... Pretty much the same thing as those who objected to, and still bare the scars of being called mugs for buying shirts for 40 quid for instance. How many of them felt so strongly they gave up their tickets for the 1998 Cup Final ? Either hypocrites, or clearly not half so mortally offended as they make out. What a shame that those upstanding gentlemen that ran the club for decades prior to the scumbags didn't get anywhere near matching the performance of the club.

I haven't got time or inclination to do anything like looking for that, but I remember it, and I'm not particularly bothered if you don't believe me, although I don't see why you shouldn't.

toontoasey 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I agree with Wacky, if Barton does have a future at the club you can garuantee Keegan will get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
