Would you take Barton back as a replacement for Cabaye?

    why would we? I didn't see anyone begging for Houghton's return doesn't mean I wouldn't be delighted to see it. I know for a fact majority wanted both to stay

    Nolan & Barton weren't mentioned when we finished 5th as things were going well and everybody were pulling in the sane direction now things have gone wonky some of these players have gone missing and there's nee body there either on or off the pitch to start kicking arses

    Sorry Chip Shop, but the simple answer is no.

    No reason to be sorry Bradders. Different opinions are all fair and square.

    Yes. He can be a massive twit at times but I liked him in the side. Personally I think he has the required quality also

    Get rid of Joey as a result of hm being a pr nightmare but then take JFK back knowing full well that he is the mother of all pr nightmares. It doesn't make sense. I am probably not alone but i really do not understand Mike Ashleys thought process on matters like this. Pardew would have had his say also but when Joey was sold hadn't he just scored the winner against Sunderland away?
    I was positive that we would have a decent season before JFK came back and even with just Remy coming in we have a pretty good team/squad but the place is just negativity personified at the moment.
    We as fans shouldn't be expecting West Ham at home to be an away win,. Same goes for Fulham. These should be our bankers, tough games yes but we should be winning them. As said yesterday there's a distinct lack of heart in the team. Pissed me off.

    Don't think Kinnear was "taken back" -suspect he's been on "sick leave" since last time and simply returned to work.

    Can't see that his contract could have been terminated due to ill health, although I'm sure some HR guru could confirm??

    Barton back - too much baggage for me, but Nolan back in a heartbeat

    No. We do need characters to stand up in hard times but the bloke is a walking disaster. Would take Nolan back always said the right things and was well respected and liked by all.

    Got to say I would take Nolan back, he would put any squabbling in it's place and get everyone pulling in the right direction. Big part of sorting dressing room problems out after we were relegated.

    From the games I've seen this season he's bin a more clinical final third passer than Cabaye was majority of last season, played for a team that came 2nd in Ligue 1 last season, and also like that he pressed the ball higher up the pitch!. Fact is he works for Pardew's tactics and seeing as he's going nowhere fast may as well get somebody in who can
