Him as a total player then no...absolutely not. I was just trying to separate the talent from the person/personality traits/thuggery. If that talent was in a mild mannered team player then no one would think twice about signing a player like that. But i think my later point still stands that if any team signed him then a majority of the fans would be outraged...unless he was banging in the goals weekly for fun then all would be fine!
the stringent condtions being ......... we do not pay him a penny, he never ever dons a Swansea shirt, and he finds a corner to finish what he has started and finally disappear up his own backside.
He is a classic example of the type of person that does not deserve the talent he was blessed with! 9 out of 10 of us here would give almost anything to have the talent he does, yet he still feels the need to make a total dick of himself and abuse his 'powers'. Captain my arse! How can this tool be responsible for setting an example for others when he previously tried to stub a *** out on a youth player. Outrageous! 12 match ban after all his history and thuggery? The prick got off lightly in my opinion! You see his face as he stuck one on Augero? Imagine he actually managed to do permanent damage - a very real possibility by the way, I wonder how this act would be treated then. If he ever came to our club, the chairman can expect a strongly worded letter from me including phrases such as : you've taken us as far as we can go, and we will never get anywhere while your calling the shots etc sorry dai, couldn't resist!
Ok, in hindsight I understand my comments may have been a tad harsh, but in all fairness, you did set yourself up for it dai Mwahahah!... Mann, I gotta stop drinking.
no problem i had a chuckle myself.. but in all seriousness we dont need or want a player like barton in the swans dressing room. he is a hot head and can explode at any time for the tiniest of reasons. he can be the best player ever but if the dressing room is not right then the players wont perform 100%..dont ever consider barton at any cost. he is his own worst enemy...
