CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 "Andre Villas-Boas is said to be ready to move into the transfer market with a bid for Newcastle outcast Joey Barton"http://uk.ibtimes.com/articles/192250/20110804/transfer-news-transfers-football-transfers-google-news-chelsea-transfers-stamford-bridge-john-terry.htm"Barton would love the chance to compete for trophies and play in the Champions League, and would move there like a shot. And with Lampard likely to be rotated more and more, Barton could be an ideal replacement."http://hereisthecity.com/2011/08/04/five-destinations-for-toon-rebel-joey-barton/I am aware that links with Barton probably lack credibility but it's a thought right?I mean he's (his anger problems aside) a good player that always gives a 110% on the field. Plus he plays the same position that we are looking for. He might not be the artist that Modric is, but he's FREE and a deal that we can wrap in a week or so since newcastle are eager to get rid of him.Anyone else think he'd make a 'not-bad' signing?

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm going to raise eyebrows when I say I'd like him at the club. Yes, he's a cunt, but so is Ashley Cole. Besides, he'll learn some manners off of AVB, I'm sure. He's English and got proven EPL experience, and on a free. I'd rather him come than Parker.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 What we lack IMO with Essien out, as-well as a obvious creative player, i personally think our top priority has to be a player who can take a big game by the scruff of the neck and Barton fits that bill.Not one to get exicted about but i will not be angry if we get him either.

I'd rather him come than Parker.Barton is a cunt alright, but he is a different sort than Ashley. Joey has a malevolent streak to him. Whereas Ashley is just a prick and a moaner. However, I do agree that coming to Chelsea and AVB could change his attitude a bit. Not necessarily a risk I want to take, but you can't make any money holding the dice.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think his attitude has become better over the years and could improve with the right manager (namely AVB). I don't think he's worse than ashley cole...by much!But the point is there are 2 weeks left on the transfer market and he seems like the only deal we could rap before the end of August. We NEED to sign a player who plays this position or we are likely to crash in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think Barton is an exceptional player, but there are better players out there in his position... I'd welcome him to Chelsea though without a doubt!I saw in one report he was linked with Zenit St. Petersburg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'd like him to come because i think he's an excellent player and his commitment is second to none, ever for a team yesterday that put him up for a free transfer. Yes he's a nutter but he has mellowed down a tiny bit imo and he can tackle, pass, cross and score goals and i love watching him on twitter lol. He might learn a bit in a top team with players like JT as his captain. And he'll be FREE!Would i accept Joey Barton? Yes i would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 No fucking way.I don't care that he's a cunt off the pitch (and on), but he's not Chelsea quality by any means! What a pointless link this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Let's sign Barton and Balotelli, the Ba-Ba duo... I wonder if AVB will turn out a paranoid schizophrenic at the end of the season. Hell, let's throw Gattuso in there aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
