Just out of curiousity

"I could never get behind signing Barton."

What if he turned out to be really, really good for us?

Sorry but it wouldn't matter to me. He's a vile human being and I wouldn't want him anywhere near our club.

From what I've seen over the last few years it looks like he has turned himself around somewhat. He hasn't had any "confrontations" and only a couple of sendings off (which to be fair most midfielders in his role have over 2 seasons), plus I would wager that he gets judged with a fair bit of bias by the refs purely due to his past history.

I wouldn't mind him but equally I wouldn't be fussed if he we didn't sign him. What gets me is this high hourse that our fans seem to be rinding on with regars to him.

Besides if Arsene would only put his hands in his pockets, we could probably sign someone with equal abilities that aren't being offloaded by their former club for free.

That's fair enough, I admire your principles. And to be honest I'm just playing Devil's advocate because I don't really think we're interested in him at all, I do wonder how many on here who are being so vitriolic against him would change their tune if, as his agent believes, he turned out to be the player that won us the league?

It's a team that wins the league, not a single player.

Incorrect. Maradona for Napoli anyone

Touché!

Exactly! An excellent point. Wenger and the tightass board really do **** me off. I would take Barton only because I just can't see us signing anyone decent, because they cost too much.

Lets sign Sneijder. No well out of our league, we only pay £14m max.

There have been a bunch of guys that have gotten behind Barton, but that was in prison.
