Joey Barton set for Arsenal!!!!

[Flavs]

In a move that will shock the football world it seems that perennial soft touch Arsene Wenger is to give his powder puff team some teeth this summer with the free signing of Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton.


Dribbling fuckstick Barton’s contract at Newcastle expires on the 30th of June and Wenger has signed him on a pre contract deal to give his team some “bite and fight” in midfield. Barton, a former Man city player and prisoner was described by Wenger as “a fooking lunatic” in a recent press conference but few would have taken that as a portent he was being approached.

Apparently the move comes after Wenger read posts on an unnamed internet message board that was calling for the team to be more physical, to have more English players, to sign a new DM with some presence and to get a big name signing in to make Samir Nasri sign his contract and Cesc Fabregas want to stay. Well Barton certainly fits that bill and having been banned from Newcastle’s pre-season tour of the states by the US State department due to his criminal record and him potentially being a risk to the public, Wenger new it was time to move.

He could be the perfect fit for many Arsenal fans as well, he is “allegedly” racist, anti-Semitic, violent, narrow minded and an all round cuntflap, so he will be seen by many as a role model and hero.

The Frenchman said “Ve need someone to vinish off Pat Rice and zink Joey could do ze job on him, either that or ve vill get his brother in” That’s not what the fans meant when needing someone to “wield the axe” over the staff...

[The Wengerbabies]

Best midfielder in England, too good for us.

Plus he's a cunt.

[AKBapologist]

/vomits a little inside

[Niall_Quinn]

Surely there's some huge girl's blouse out there we could sign as an alternative? I don't like Barton because he's suited more to the PL than the league we play in which is the, oh...

[Marc Overmars]

Vinger would officially have lost the plot if he signed this scum bucket.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flav's does like his annual summer made up transfer.

[fakeyank]

I would take him over the cunts we have in the team

[V-Pig]

No goal.com source?

[Cripps_orig]

Whilst he is better than the majority of our midfielders, id never want him here

[Japan Shaking All Over]

let him set next to Nasri on the away day coach

[Munchies]

Better than Denilson and Diaby tbh.

[Alias]

I would throw up if we signed this cunt. NO THANKS

[Syn]

He's just misunderstood imo. We could do a lot worse than Joey Barton - as a footballer, he's very good.

good footballer...personality wise he is a turd. even if he were to sign (which would never happen i know) i wonder how he would get along with all those 'foreigners' at Arsenal.

Maybe we don't need players that well 'get along' with the foreigners.

Maybe we need an absolute cunt that'll get them out of their comfort zone.

[Hump]

Imagine him paired with Jermaine Jenas in the centre mid:cloud9:. It'd would be like Vieira and Petit all over again, we would be unstoppable.

Lol, well said mate.

With SWP and Tuncay either side.

Arsenal messageboard targets from years gone by. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

You're forgetting Inler tbh.

And Trabelsi at right-back :bow:.

[Sirjackofwilshere]

tbh I know ppl take the mick but he'd be great for us..especially against the likes of stoke and arl. Him and WIlshere will form one heck of a Ghelish partnership.

Apparently hes going to the dippers though

[Tony Tuesdays]

Thought the twat still had another year on his contract?

And I'd rather have someone like Scott Parker if we're going English.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The rumours are picking up steam that we want him. Some saying that we've already had a bid accepted.

I'd probably give up football he joined us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Signing Barton might be the most positive thing to happen to the club for years. It would signal a complete rejection of Wenger's project and that might be sufficient to finally snap us back into the football world and out of the fantasy we've been enduring. Doesn't mean we'd have to play him, except maybe under special circumstances. Who could honestly say they wouldn't like to see Barton come on against Stoke? Can you imagine the media? Barton at Arsenal? LOL.

Tell you what let's sign Karl Henry, Ryan Shawcross and Lee Bowyer whilst we're at it. Those players would most definitely signal a change of direction.
Not sure it would make us any better though.
But hey-ho, in for a penny in for a pound

[Syn]

Tell you what let's sign Karl Henry, Ryan Shawcross and Lee Bowyer whilst we're at it.

Well, no, because they're not good. Whatever you think of Barton, he's a good footballer.

[Ironing]

Barton is a quality player

[Tony Tuesdays]

Well, no, because they're not good. Whatever you think of Barton, he's a good footballer.

As is Parker, dude. And I'd sooner have Parker than Barton.

[Tony Tuesdays]

Amazing that folks think we're after him on the basis of a post on Arse.com.

[Syn]

As is Parker, dude. And I'd sooner have Parker than Barton.

Barton has 2 years on him. Truth be told I wouldn't have either right now and don't really care. I don't think the club is 'changing direction' unless there is a change of manager. An economical signing like Barton or Parker will only paper over the cracks for the first couple of months of the new season.

[Niall_Quinn]

As is Parker, dude. And I'd sooner have Parker than Barton.

Same here, but we won't be signing him either. I wonder if either would want to come here anyway.

Wenger has made a few noises about signing PL experience (or was that another made up story?)

For all we know Silvestre and Mart Poom is his idea of 'PL experience'.

Mart Poom? On the wing? It could work. Anyway I think I'm going to forget all about Arsenal and transfers for the summer and check in 5 minutes before the deadline closes just to confirm we have signed nobody of note. It's just easier that way.

[Fist of Lehmann]

It's strange, dunno whether it's something to do with his haircut, or his moustache, but he always reminded me of a young Adolf Hitler.

[Özim]

Mart Poom, Tomas Danilevicius, Guillaume Warmuz and Fabián Caballero should be in there somewhere, they rank as some of the most important signings he's made.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

good footballer...personality wise he is a turd. even if he were to sign (which would never happen i know) i wonder how he would get along with all those 'foreigners' at Arsenal.

can you imagine if he brought his brother along to a player get together.......

[Flavs]

Whats really funny about this is that i have been saying fro 2 years that "journalists" get there reports and tips from internet sites, 3 or 4 times now we have made up stupid players Arsenal should sign and then a couple of days later its in the papers.

Hmmm. Try it again, and I'll believe you.

Go with someone vaguely believable, but ultimately a no-no. Modric would be funny if it cropped up. Would piss the spuds off big time....and if we were selling Cesc it would be believeable if we were looking for a replacement...."Arsenal Join The Race To Sign Modric"

Joey Barton has been refused a visa for Newcastle's pre-season tour of the USA.

Newcastle are set to travel to the States on Sunday, but Barton - who was given a six-month jail sentence after admitting assault and affray in 2008 - will now have to travel with the reserve side to the Netherlands on July 20.

Barton said in a statement on Newcastle's official website: "Unfortunately, I was denied my visa due to my past.

"I regret not being able to travel with the club on this trip, but at the same time, I don't expect to be treated any differently or more favourably than anyone else in a similar situation.

"All I can do is continue to improve as a person, which is what I intend to do.

"Again, apologies to all the NUFC supporters - as well as the fast growing legions of football supporters in the United States who I was looking forward to meeting. I will see you in the future."

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Newcastle United have made Joey Barton available on a free transfer after placing the midfielder on the transfer list.
The 28-year-old has just a year left on his current deal, and he has been unable to agree fresh terms with the club.
Barton (http://topics.skysports.com/Joey+Barton/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif has also been left disappointed by the Magpies' transfer policy and has criticised them heavily on his Twitter account.
Now Newcastle have decided that his future does lie away from Tyneside and have made him available on a free transfer.
A club statement read: "Newcastle United (http://topics.skysports.com/Newcastle+United/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif can confirm that Joey Barton has been placed on the transfer list today (Monday)
"The player has been advised that he can leave the club on a free transfer."
Barton was due to make an announcement at 4pm on his future, but Newcastle have now confirmed he is free to go.
The England cap joined Newcastle in 2007 from Manchester City (http://topics.skysports.com/Manchester+City/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and has gone on to make 79 league appearances for the club.



http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7076068,00.html



Joey Barton has criticised the Newcastle board after it was decided he can leave the club on a free transfer.
The midfielder's future has been the subject of speculation for the majority of the summer after he entered the final 12 months of his contract.
Any uncertainty surrounding the stance of Newcastle (http://topics.skysports.com/newcastle/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias was ended on Monday afternoon when the club announced Barton (http://topics.skysports.com/Joey+Barton/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif was free to leave St James' Park.
Tottenham, Everton (http://topics.skysports.com/everton/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Aston Villa (http://topics.skysports.com/Aston+Villa/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif have been linked with the former Manchester City (http://topics.skysports.com/Manchester+City/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif player as a result, but he has maintained he has always wanted to stay at Newcastle, who he joined in 2007.
Barton had previously said he would make an announcement at 4pm on Monday, but, having been prompted by Newcastle, his announcement came 55 minutes late.
He wrote on his personal Twitter account: "Somewhere in those high echelons of NUFC, they have decided, I am persona non grata.
Pride"I am on a free but the honour of wearing those B+W stripes, surpasses that
"One day the board might realise, what the shirt signifies. HONOUR and PRIDE. Thanks for your continued support...........toonarmy"
Newcastle sold star striker Andy Carroll in January, while former captain Kevin Nolan (http://topics.skysports.com/Kevin+Nolan/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif moved to West Ham at the beginning of the summer.
The impending exit of Barton will therefore come as another blow to fans, who are aware the trio represented their best players as Premier League security was achieved last season.
Unsettled Spanish full-back Jose Enrique is another who is expected to leave this summer and he has also used Twitter to criticise club officials.

[fari]

hm what a character

[Japan Shaking All Over]

said this already.......the guy till now has scored high on the 'What a cock!' meter

but I have a sneaky feeling that this guy could be the kind of player that we need.......balls of steel and not scared to get his hands dirty........a few typical performances in an Arsenal shirt nd the crowd could be start to sing his name........would have to work hard tho to win some over

[IBK]

Barton is not right for us, IMO. But we could seriously do with a bit of a mentalist on the pitch to sort our players out. Trouble is that this type of player seems to have become the antithesis of AW's policy.

[fakeyank]

I really hope he joins us. I could give a F less about the type of person he is. He is a good footballer and our team has a severe lack of that. Add to that, I think he can shank some of the foreign douche bags in the squad and make them either give a damn or die! :lol:

[Darth Vela]

Good to see there's at least someone sticking to their guns, FakeYank. I don't want the twat here personally but he would certainly help with some of the elements of 'football' we're lacking in.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

hit the nail on the head with what he would bring to the tesm and what we seriously lack!
and for that, and our pre season form I'd take a risk. . .and I am being honest I did go along with this transfer when this thread first started
finesse only is not going to win us jack, time to add a bit if steel. . .and I agree he is not a bad footballer, would improve with us and not cost a packet

[Letters]

I wish I knew how to do TM on this board :(

[fakeyank]

Footballistally I think it makes a lot of sense for us:
- We can move Song into CB and at least not be absolutely doomed, if as expected, AW does not sign a CB. I'd take Song over Squid and 'end of season DJ' anyday!
- Barton is a better DM than Song
- And the most important, Barton is a GHEL!

[Coney]

I'm with Arseblog...

http://arseblog.com/2011/08/omg-somethings-not-just-the-way-i-want-it-ffs/


The other story yesterday was the fact Joey Barton was released on a free by Newcastle and immediately linked with us. I don’t think there’s any chance of that happening, to be honest, I suspect online editors know that putting Arsenal in a story means you get more clicks, but I would rather sign Joey Deacon that Joey Barton.

For all those who would espouse the ‘qualities’ he might bring, there’s a difference between being hard and being a thug. Getting stuck in is one thing, punching people (even if it is Morten Gamst Pedersen) another. Maybe we do lack a bit of character, but signing a bloke who will only add to ‘Arsene’s red card’ shame because he is incapable of controlling himself and his hair trigger temper is not the answer. And above all else his signing would surely be a sign of how standards have fallen, both in terms of the type of person we sign and the quality of the player. He’s decent but hardly the kind of signing that you’d be happy with to replace Cesc, is it? He’ll end up at Sp*rs, probably, which is far and away the best place for him.

JB has talent as a player. Unfortunately, he also has talent as a violent thug with no self control - as Arseblog says, "there’s a difference between being hard and being a thug". We need backbone, but we need Barton like a hole in the head.

This... he'd be a good signing. and he's free so everybody wins

[Özim]

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.

Also, if Frimpong gets a chance this season, he has alot of 'battling qualities' and great GHEL credentials without being a vile human being.

Until The Sun On Sunday print their 'Frimpong In Ching Chong Ding Dong' expose that is.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stoke, Bolton, Blackburn, brand new ball games if Barton was walking out in an Arsenal kit. He's far from being the only shithead playing professional football. He's no worse than John Terry, for example. It's a bit sad we've reached the stage where we need this sort of player as an emergency response to the total lack of spine in the current team. But one season with this guy kicking and punching his way around the field wouldn't be such a bad thing, plus it would be damn entertaining - another thing we lack at Arsenal.

Barton has Assburgers syndrome.

Since then I've been drinkin and had a little think.

Don't want the cunt anywhere near the team.

[Cripps_orig]

If we do get him, I hope he beats the fuck out of Wenger. He'd be forgiven for anything he's done previously and would be an Arsenal legend.Arsene, make it happen

[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

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!!

Nah Zimm makes a good point this time though. As much as i think Joey could be a good addition, why get someone who hates the way his former board did things. I mean he'd only moan about PHW and wenger in a few months about How shite AFC is run anyway.

Barton's better than a lot of the shite we have at the club at the moment, but there are better players out there whom we should be targetting.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Nah Zimm makes a good point this time though. As much as i think Joey could be a good addition, why get someone who hates the way his former board did things. I mean he'd only moan about PHW and wenger ina few months about him shite AFC is run anyway.

Can see where the next member of GW is coming from then!

I cant believe Im advocating this..........and I do agree he is a cock but with what I have seen so far.........at least he cares, can play and knows how to mix it up........cant help thinking he wouldnt be the worst transfer made in history

[Letters]

No, but you’re a mod and you constantly target one poster with cheap shots

Not really. We disagree about most things Arsenal but it rarely gets personal or abusive. My post was a bit of a 'cheap shot' but it wasn't intended to be taken too seriously and it wasn't abusive. If you want to report it then please to so.
He had quite a cheap shot at me a while back actually which got reported (not by me) and was deleted but I didn't ban him or even suggest it.
But hey, feel free to ignore that.


and then ban people if they respond in an aggressive way.

No. Stop making things up. A poster was banned for abuse, not aggresion. And it wasn't a one off, it was 3 separate posts. Then a further abusive post in response to those posts being deleted. Then an abusive PM in response to mine asking said poster to tone it down. And all this on the back of the same poster already having been warned about their behavior on a previous instance.

[Master Splinter]

It's a sad day in the history of GW that some posters are defending Mr.Singh.

Mr fucking Singh.

Thank you Letters.

[Ernesto]

I can remember when we were linked with signing Lee Bowyer in the close season of either 2001 or 2002. Now, I'm quite sure that there was a fans' protest against this and it urged the club against signing a player who was, for want of a better phrase, a c*nt.

I'd really like to believe that this is true but given the ever-widening gulf between the club's board and the fans at present, I don't think that any possible transfer negotiation for Barton could be dissauded by a few fans throwing their toys out of the pram.

When did Mr Singh get banned? Can someone point to the thread please (if it's still there)

Actually, I've found the thread. I didn't see the deleted posts, so I don't doubt Mr Singh went on the rampage a bit with his abuse, but the initial "moron" remark was uncalled for. The first comment by Mr Singh was perfectly reasonable, arguing that if we fail to get Mata that should be the end of Wenger. Whether you agree with that or not, there's no need to call anyone a moron for that.

Someone called him a moron and it was directed at him before u say otherwise. He gets banned/warning after calling you a 'tool' - that's in the same ball park as calling someone a moron. Doesn't matter if it's Mr Singh, just seems there is a thin line here. Moving on, I've seen more abusive posts directed towards Zimm because of his views and you're like a ringleader. You're sort of posts encourage it and if things got heated on here one day because of an off hand remark, how would it be handled? As I said before, if people kept chipping away at me, I'd lose my cool and probably get banned. That's my view. Also, it's a forum. People are allowed to come here and moan. If they didn't this place would be boring. We need a clash of views.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I think there is a bit of inconsistency here over what is acceptable/seen to be acceptable here, but that is kind of inevitable given the nature of the place and how the default setting moderation wise is to let things go a bit until something gets reported or it is obvious things are getting out of hand.

My general view is I have no problem with an argument being attacked, but where I tend to step in is if an individual is being attacked, and then other factors come into play such as if there are two people who can dish it out and take it, I'll let it slide unless there is a complaint and/or it starts to have an adverse effect on the forum/thread. Also, history between posters is a factor, particularly where buttons are being pressed/sensitivities being abused, as often abuse and agitation is carried out without others particularly being aware it is happening such is the slyness of some digs.

As for Mr Singh, I have no idea what happened in this regard.

He's not conning the ref if gervinho slapped him

The ref isn't analysing how hard the slap was, just that it occurred

A dive is feigning CONTACT - he did not feign contact, just exaggerated, and as he says - it's irrelevant. Shouldn't have been slapped regardless

He's right in the sense that he took advantage of the situation, he had more to gain by faking injury and goading Gervinho. Therefore he is applauded for it by most on-lookers.

Barton did it to us last season, he's just repeated the trick again. We all know about Barton, I wonder why our players can't figure it out. And what was Wenger up to? He saw the way Barton subverted the game in the second half last year after Newcastle had been on the end of a pasting. We hadn't scored the goals this time but we had the game under control. Surely Wenger told them the inevitable Barton antics were on the way and not to fall for them. Barton knows exactly what he's doing, he's a professional cheat. Our players are professional idiots who don't learn lessons, even obvious ones.

Difficult for me to condemn Barton too much when every Barcelona match I've ever posted in the match thread on that's exactly what I've implored people to do to Busquets - (and with some sneaky nails in the ribs & a yank on the arm-pit hair).

Barton having a dig at his Taylor for claiming there was an elbow when there wasn't on 5 live now.

[Cripps_orig]

QPR midfielder Joey Barton has insisted that Arsenal attempted to sign him in the summer, after seeing his claims dismissed by Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood.

Barton had previously stated that a clash with Gervinho in the first game of the season may have cost him a move to Arsenal upon leaving Newcastle United at the end of the transfer window.

He told The Sunday Mirror: "Peter Hill-Wood said they never had any serious interest in me, I just don't understand. The dialogue between him and his coaching staff has broken down so severely that he doesn't know what's going on at his football club.

"I don't know [why Hill-Wood said that]. Fair enough if I was claiming to sign for Real Madrid or Barcelona or Manchester City or Manchester United, but I don't think it's that big of a shout to say Arsenal were after me because it's definitely a club in - what shall I say? - transition."

The former Manchester City man also went on to express his shock at Arsenal's decline and poor current form.

The Gunners sit in 15th place in the Premier League following a poor start to the season and have struggled through their Champions League ties.

Barton continued: "Financially, they have put themselves in a great position but I don't know what's happening there.

"I don't understand. You look at Arsenal and you think, 'Well, they obviously have an abundance of money'. Their stadium is almost paid for. I would say, financially, they are the most well-run club in the league, barring Manchester City.

"I watched them the other day, it's a very different side from that great team they had with Petit and Vieira. If I was an Arsenal fan... well.

"It's nothing to do with me because it's not my football club but, even so, I like to see those great English sides do well. I remember watching the Champions League and Arsenal against Olympiakos at home was a shoo-in, four or five-nil win for Arsenal, but they made hard work of it. But this is the game we're in."
