Agreed, we MUST try for him, pure and simply we couldn't by better at this point in time, he's a beast of a player.
You'd think so, but nobody's made a move yet, so why not steam in? Bruce, surely must be aware of the lad, he's been quality for 4 years
Know what you mean BB!! Fact is, though, whether we like it or not, they are every bit as much of an attraction as us again.
Aye, i'm not seriously naive enough to think we wouldn't have work to do. Could well come down to wages, as after Blackburn either club, with actual people in the stands, would surely be attractive to the lad. I guess he'd want assurances as to Barton and Enrique staying as well. In the event, Arsenal will maybe come in and blow us both out!
bit of the topic but, would a player see barton as an incentive to join a club? i really rate him as a player, just wonder what players make of him....
Said all along get him and thought with our injuries to our CBs we would have put a bid in during the January window. Always seemed a good player in the past and he is a leader which is what we are sadly lacking. Was in Shields yesterday to get away from hearing anything about the game and ended up in a bar with the barcodes game on lots of barcodes and, about 2 minutes from full time a couple of them started having a pop at each other, had to have a little laugh then when our score was announced laughed a little louder.
It is very much the fact that you rate him as a player, if Barton was to leave the mags, any one of their fans would say it left a massive hole, which would be borderline impossible to fill. Any incoming player would see this i dare say.
No chance of happening pal, would love to see Park Ji Sung in the red and white stripes but like Valencia never going to happen, probably the most underated player and is certainly Fergie's big game player As for Chris Samba sign him up Brucie the lad is just what we need a physical presence at the back and an attacking threat from set pieces
didn't realise arsenal tried to get him in jan. reckon after this season they may renew their interest in him, as they are lacking something.
