Agree with you generally, Mango. Good player technically but his temper is uncontrollable at times and it might not do much for team spirit if he starts thumping his teammates. NW's man management might get the best out of him. Overall, I wouldn't choose this player for the R's but shan't send back my ST if we sign him...
ST? Am I mistaken Goldie or weren't you thinking of spending the money on a big screen and Sky package earlier? What happened there? That old Rs addiction kick-in again?!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Barton *I think a read through this tells you all you need to know about JB. *Especially for gruffnut
No, it wasn't me Brix - I've always been on for the ST, despite the allure of a warm fire and Sky. May regret it, but at least I'll be there to give the Goons stick if they continue to mess up...
Joey Barton would be the best thing to happen to QPR. Who care's if he's a thug?! he's a damn good player and exactly what we need!
Oh, maybe it was top gun then?? Anyway: go for it Goldie... gotta be in it to win it, or at least let them know what you think. I'll be saving up me nifties to attend as many of the less prestigious games as I can for the same reason - green and white scarf and all that!
If we took the moral high ground over every player there would be a lot of players leaving the game. Barton is an arsehole but so are many other players. He is one of the best midfielders in the country and he could do a job for us. A penalty clause in his contract may be a way forward but I think he may well be out of our league. Warnock would have to be at his persuasive best to land him. Ask yourselves would you turn down Ashley Cole?
I'd have to think long and hard about it..... As for Cheryl Cole....that's a no-brainer!!! (In more ways than one!!)
That's the point, sometimes players we've spent all our days vilifying end up available. You could draw the line with King and Hughes due to the reprehensible nature of their crimes, but Barton, Bowyer and the like are typical yobs who just happen to be very good players, I'm sure if we got Barton and he was performing at his best he'd soon become a fan's favourite.
Agree with Mango, wouldn't touch the man with a barge pole. I'd prefer we get relegated than start "scraping the bottom of the barrel" for people like him. Bit disappointed so many people seem to be making excuses for him!
There have been several people worried about the chance that some of our new players will go missing through injury. What about a player who might go on a state paid "holiday" for a few months?
Marlon King is a registered sex offender!! You think that's better than being a bully?? ****ing hell!!
