Hope i'm not jumping the gun here but i'm started to get excited about players coming back and getting a win under our belt and seeing a bit more of a commanding performance at the game on sat.
I think another couple of league wins in a row now will give us the confidence to get back to our free flow attacking ways of last season.
Again, hope i'm not getting carried away, but if senderos comes good and danny wikson keeps his form up then we are getting there with our defence. then we have rossiter, windass coming back, also dodoos back up front.
But just dont know what i want with barton. Is there any space in that midfield for him left. I think not, but had such high hopes for him, it's a shame he's wasted it. i'm all for getting it out in the open, but if he went to town with warbs, then ship him out.

There's always space for Barton he is the best player in the squad.
04 Oct 2016 18:19:25
Barton isn't even the best midfielder we have never mind best in the squad. For me there should be no way back for him after his comments about trying to make inferior players better. not a way you should speak abt team mates especially when you're pretty average yourself.

Bluedie let's not pretend, the only person close to him is Kranjcar, just because he's suspended and he hasn't started well doesn't mean he's worse than Haliday. Still think Barton will come back and do a job as long as he can knuckle down hoping the managers decision was the right one.

He can't play in our system with zero mobility! To be honest, the minute I clocked him picking up the ball to hit a free kick in the Hamilton game I knew he was a mistake. Thinks because it's Scotland he's Ronaldo all of a sudden but he isn't good enough and the only reason there was no drama last year is because Burnley cruised the league! Regardless of what anyone says, including MW, the players won't want him back rightly so! We gave him a chance and supported him from day one and he's just mugging everyone off!

Simple question guys, please agree or disagree. Would you like to see Joey Barton play for Rangers again? Just being curious.
04 Oct 2016 21:17:15
No. reason in post above. so overrated its not true. never been a good player so he's not going to become 1 now at 34.

kranjcar was and always has been twice the player of Barton it's not even comparable.
05 Oct 2016 09:15:54
Have to agree with you, Cee, Kranjcar has always been a technically more gifted player than Barton. A friend of my son trained with him in the US for a while and said his legs have gone but his skill with the ball was incredible. Very importantly his attitude is good-he has not shot his mouth off, derided the Scottish game and players and looks like he is trying hard to make up for his deficiencies these days (lack of pace and stamina) . I admit I have never liked Barton but he has greatly underestimated what he needed to do to justify his own hyperbole-l believe engendered by his self serving arrogance. He was and may be again a good, never great, player for somebody but let him and his over infated ego go elsewhere.

A duno if a agree with u there, but just say he is the best, we seem to play better without him mate.

Ross no danger mate, in his hey day he might have been 1 of our better players, but not now, his main problem is age.
05 Oct 2016 11:51:50
Well done Ross, you have finally said something sensible!
05 Oct 2016 12:44:46
Aye, would like to see him play again, but only if he pushes his way into the team and proves he merits a place in it.
05 Oct 2016 13:15:06
Personally I would rather see Rossiter, Crooks and Windass fully fit than see barton back. Rossiter, before his injury, was one of the brightest prospects in English Football and I believe that he could become a quality player for us as could the two ex Accrington boys. All three could bring more to the team than Barton!

Spot on TOMUSA. chase Barton, should never have been signed in the 1st place. strange signing if you ask me.
