KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Joey Barton - Free Transfer

Wouldn't describe Barton as a defensive midfielder

He played most of last season wide on the right

Would be a good move if we didn't have so many central miodfieldsers on the books

The interesting qurestion is why are Newcastle letting a player go that should command a transfer fee of about £8m

Sure, he didn't sign a new deal but nor did Newcastle offer him one - which is wierd because even if he didn't figure in their plans you might have thought they'd tie him into a contract so they got something for him

It's not as if he's a Jokanovic or a Poulsen - ie: virtually unsellable

for some reason I think he will sign for us. I mean if he is free why not, he may be a cock but not a bad player, and can play defensive midfielder.

we have to sell a couple first there is squad limit yano.

agree we need another dm but defo would have to offload 2 other cm's before we do get another dm.
Aqulani, and spearing or shelvey on loan would be my choice alothough in an ideal world, henderson would be rm leaving a space for a potential dm in cm but were already got too may.

I'd take him. I'd be more eager if we didn't already have so many CMs as it is. I would love to see him at LFC, but can't see it happening. Don't think we'll go in for him. Apparently there are 2 London clubs and one Midlands club in for him.

NO THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!

couldn't have said it any better myself

plus he can play RM in a 4-4-2

ok, he's a well known tosser. but the lad lives and breathes passion and i think he'd flourish under kenny at lfc. he's a good all round modern footballer but i wouldn't go as far as saying he's a DM.

get rid of aqua, loan out shelvey and bin poulsen

imagine we're 2-1 down away from home with 20 mins to go. who do you bring off the bench? a) jonjo shelvey b) jay spearing or c) joey barton

no brainer

Well put

+ 1

id send out jay spearing on loan aswell, i dont see a future for him at liverpool. And at least we will be replacing him with a better home grown player, although a wee bit older
