Already gone and played the day after Comes a time when these lads need to realize that they aren't going to make it at the top clubs, best thing for them is to get out there and get their pro careers started instead of clinging onto the youth part.
Think was a time when were linked with him / kevin Nolan and Joey Barton when they were all at top of their game. Think all would have been good signings.
Telling me Nolan woukdnt have been a better player for us than Bruno Cheyrou, Salif Diao, igor biscan.. ok maybe not Igor but the others
the second I read joey Barton I said wtf. Nolan was an honest worker but bang average. barton was a horrid nasty ego driven scumbag all his career. this is a case of two wrongs would not have made a right back then. yeah we made some terribly buys in houlliers latter years but those wouldn't have moved the needle any imo.
Newcastle United have reported losses of about £73.4million, so sale of Bruno Guimaraes can be on the card.
Yep. I was never keen on us getting Nolan (he didn't come good until he was older) and was 50:50 with Barton.
we will see. I wouldn't be bothered with him as we have plenty of forward thinking cms. he is simply not a great screening cm and won't improve us
I can't remember a time ever thinking Joey Barton was anything more than a thug... I mean, there must have been a time. A time before I knew he existed, but I don't remember ever thinking anything but thug.
was barton at city before or after linking to us? I can't recall now but i'm wondering if the infamous bulling story of burning an academy kid with a cigar was already known. in any event he left everton youths and joined us extremely briefly before being swiftly moved onto city so i'm sure our coaches had a very good ideas if his attitude already.
