Yep, they really rate him and don't want to lose him. Blimey, the game on 12th Sept should be lively eh?
What a signing if this comes off!! Has been in trouble off the pitch but no-one can deny the guy has always done the business on the pitch. Really can't see us going down if he signs. Hopefully bringing in this big name, might convince a couple of others that we're not cannon fodder and are on the up.
ExactLy bakes. We get the marquee signing now others to follow. Can't believe it tbh. Can see us going 4-3-2-1 with Barton in the team. Going to a 5 man midfield when going gets tough
Do we think we are after Barton having failed with the Scott Parker bid? or do we think we'll go back in for Parker as well? we'd have a pretty smokin' midfield if we did.
Well Barton was left out of Newcastles squad for the Carling cup, supposedly with a foot injury but was said to be fit for Saturday. Doubt it would stop any signing but it might make the medical process longer. But it should all be over now and just down to the nitty gritty.
he's the first step in the jigsaw. if we can get a player of real premiership quality to join then others will follow as it shows the baord are serious, great player as well
Great news! Roll on all the other signings if this is just the first of many. TF certainly putting his money where his mouth is, just hope NW can keep Barton on straight path, not getting too reckless - he's already got two yellows, so will be heading for a suspension in near future if he keeps that up!
Apparently he's passed the medical and will be announced tomorrow or Friday also Danny Simpson will follow him from Newcastle.
