Joey Barton set for Arsenal!!!!

[Xhaka Can’t]

You need to chill out a bit.

[Fats]

Dont know why we dont get this guy?.

If it dont work out we could get some money for him. Good business sense.

Im sure Sam Frogface would buy him of us.

[Fist of Lehmann]

If the club still thinks of itself as a class act then we can't have the most morally corrupt player in English football on the books. Simple as.

[Niall_Quinn]

What is it that Barton has done to make himself the biggest hate figure in football? I mean off-field because the stuff he's done on the pitch is no worse than several others that could be mentioned.

[KSE Comedy Club]

More to do with him smacking the shit out of his ex team mate Dabo and stubbing a cigareete out in another players eye (cant remember his name) oh and needlessly punching Pederrson in the chest during a game this season.

I suppose off the field, he's no different to Gerrard tbh.

[Power n Glory]

Sign him up. I don't like the guy but desperation has kicked in. We need something to dramatic to happen.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

It's more an indictment of the fan.

slightly unfair. . . .unless its an indictment to the fans that recognise that we lack not only a spine but the whole fucking back
I believe that there are a majority of fans who are saying that we should Barton but are at the same time thinking the guy is a cock, includes me

however we ate not exactly scouring the market for altwrnatives are we!
Barton in the past has done some things that make you cringe but so has our defence or for that matter Paddy in his prime did (granted Barton is no Viera and Paddy to my knowledge didnt whack anyone but I am sure you see my point? !)
He is not a bad footballer just a bit of a bad boy, I no longer believe in the adage that Wenger can sort any player out but I would hope that he would lose a bit of the bad boy without losing any of the bad arse player

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Football wise yes it would be a good move in a sense that he gets stuck in and is a physical player, however the guy is a thug and I wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.

IMO he shouldn't even be still in football, he's the type of person that beats the cr*p out of people when out for no reason...the guy is a tw*t.

I just hope one day he picks a fight with the wrong guy and gets what's coming to him.

Whilst Joey Barton is undoubtedly a quality footballer, there’s no denying he’s an outspoken, jumped up little shit who totally over values his self importance! The twat’s caused trouble wherever he’s been.

We got rid of the likes of Adebayor and Gallas who were causing rifts in the dressing room and now people are asking for someone like Barton to come in!

Fuck it, while we’re at it why don’t we sign Balotelli and put up a dartboard in the changing room!!

Wanting Barton smacks of desperation...and is indicative of what our club is putting us through!
