Aye but Barton left us because he wanted a club with no drama who werent going to be relegated. I can see it happening, unless he's waiting for the Wales job.
Can see him going for Wales personally, would be a good guy to continue on the good work of Gary Speed there, having achieved similar levels of performance during his previous spell in charge of Wales.
What are the chances of Ben Arfa breaking into the French Euro 2012 squad? I know it's obviously slim but if he were to cement his place in our team over the next few months it wouldn't be impossible. From memory the other wingers/similar players are.. Valbuena, Nasri, Menez, Gourcouff, Malouda, Ribery.. any more?
He has done more in 2 games this season than Nasri has. Also the first game is a win-win situation. England win. Joy France win and Dreamboat and Benny play well. Joy.
