Lets get this clear folks, joey Barton will not be joining everton, Martinez (& kenright for that matter) are not that stupid as there is a good team spirit currently building within the squad & they will not risk that being destroyed. Barton is not fit to wear an everton shirt & is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to 35k a week - I believe that's what baines is currently on, now at least he is a true blue legend.

Bartons agent was involved with Doncaster 2 seasons ago. Got them to sign upwards of 15 of his players on loan, all in the shop window and all playing for themselves. Needless to say they were relegated before anyone else in the country. wouldn't to either the player or the agent with a barge pole.

I was thinking the same thing, looking at the clock and counting down the last few hours hoping no bid comes in. I for one think felli is a quality player and really want him to stay. I just wish we knew a bit more about this release clause, is it th 31st, 14th, 19th or another date not mentioned!

Im not a big joey barton fan myself, but i've heard he's willing to take a wage cut, but only for Everton.
In the modern game that goes a long way in my book, so maybe he should be given a chance, but one chance only to prove he's worthy of pulling on the famous blue jersey.

He would upset the squad. But another example of a player who is using everton to get a move to another club.

Perhaps there could also be some contractual clause that any nonsense and he doesn't get paid

Can't find any links to him to everton {Ed025's Note - try newsnow everton.
Agree0
Disagree0
His salary is around £2m a season. So would be affordable for Everton. The man has immense potential, but never stays fit long enough to get a run going. But are these links just lazy journalism due to MU interest in Baines and supposed interest in Fellaini? Are they suggesting some sort of player plus cash deal?

No thanks. Never rated him!

Are you all havin a laugh?. He's not a good player and worth nowhere near 7 million. United fans can't wait to see the back of him.
Agree0

He's got to be one of Uniteds worse players! No thank you very much. We'd be more than helping United offload there trash
Agree0

Another great player Fergie ruined. He was one of the best attacking midfielders in the world at Porto, then Fergie suffocated him. Did the same with Rooney & Smith.

No thank you very much!

Anderson!He is awful.
Agree0
Disagree0
If fit a great player. If we could get him for 5-7m then I see that as a worth while gamble. Would defo improve the team
Agree0
Disagree0
IMO SAF did ruin Anderson. At Porto he was a very special CAM, but SAF tried turning him into a deeper midfielder instead of playing him CAM where he was best. He is 100 times the player Gibson is and Everton got the best out of him. For £7m he would be a steal. Still only 24.

Why is everyone against signing Barton he is free he is a decent player and we need cover for center mid the only downside is his temper and he has calmed down a lot in the last couple of years so I would defiantly have him
Agree0

Why would you want him?. Is he better than Gibson? NO he wouldn't improve the team and we don't need a loose cannon at this club. He's had his chance to play for us before but chose to accept more money instead. Is that an Evertonian?.

If youd made the mistake of offering some lads a lift, then they got buzzy hardly the best time to give any sort of insight into yourfuture plans, they weren't exactly open in their filming were they?

Well he can hardly answer. If he says yes, there would be an uproar and all that malarky.
He can also hardly deny it because if a offer of £20mil comes in from Utd and we accept and he does go, then people will accuse him of being a traitor because he said 'no' but left anyways.
He can't win either way.

Despite distin coming out and saying we don't need any more players, I dissagree strongly. Yes we have a very strong squad, arguably the best for many years, but that is no reason to take the foot off the pedal otherwise we could be in danger of going backwards. I believe this is a perfect time to invest. The following would make us serious contenders for CL and not outsiders with a chance.
Ashley Williams/ or Sakho (cheap alternative: Rolando) McCarthy (cheap alternative: Diame) Moses () Barton (worth a pop in my eyes) Ibrahim (Loan him out to another club-100% of his wages being paid. ) Another striker. Cannot really name anyone though.

Right Joey Barton rumours. I think he has done some bad things in the past but I honestly think with the right man management and if he got his head screwed on he is a quality player he proved that in France last season plus he is a blue and surly would give everything for the blue shirt. So I say give him a go on a free on half wages we could end up looking back at a bargain.
Believable16

Am with you on this for a free transfer there not much better out there, plus he make are midfield strong an being a blue he put his heart an soal into playing for us from beard blue
Agree0

Signing a player does usually pose a risk. However, surely the free transfer and 50% wage reduction eliminates the element of risk. Ossie, Feli, Gibbo, Barkley, McCarthy, and Barton. That seems to me like a very strong Central midfield.
Agree0

Here here! Big dunc was a bit like him too and we class him as a legend, and to be honest, I would never turn my back on a blue who wants to okay for us and take a pay cut! COUGH COUGH. ROONEY!

Sinnot mate do you think joey barton will get a move to man u man city liverpool. chelsea. arsenal. spurs. so why us. you can't change people mate. suarzez. gazza. etc he will always be trouble one way or another. are we that desperate. trouble in dressing rooms cause rifts. we have a happy dressing room so why would you want him. did you forget about him stubbing a ciggy out on a young city players face. you wouldn't do that to your worst enemy. the attack on a young lad in liverpool city centre caught on camera and you want him at are club. THIS WILL BE A VERY SAD DAY IF THIS HAPPENS.
Agree0

Dont understand all this "he is a blue" BS. He has disrespected our club by mooning our supporters and not to mention him assaulting a 15yr old Everton fan.
Then there is all the other crap this lad has pulled throughout his career. He is nearly 31 and he will never change, he is a person who I don't want anywhere near our club.

The guy's a person. I'm all for giving someone a second chance but this kid has had many opportunities to sort himself out and prove he's a different character but every single time he does something despicable and never learns. We should steer well clear of this kid, we don't want or need him dragging the name if our great club down.
Agree0
Disagree1
In the end of the day he's a blue, we can't just turn our back. He wants to play for his beloved boyhood team. He would take a 50% pay cut I doubt we would see Rooney do that for us. So on a free and he would give a 200% every game he played. Either way i'd rather have Barton on a free over McCarthy for a reported 15 mill.
Agree0
Disagree1
Think he's worth a punt as a squad member
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree a player of his quality with strict management would be a bargin, its his last chance to prove himself in the premier league. he did well in france and when focused can behave himself.
Agree0
Disagree0
If he is on a free and affordable wages, it could be written into his contaract that if he oversteps the line in anyway at all. then his contract can be ripped up there and then!
Agree0
Disagree0
Totally disagree! our club is a stable club and this season could be a massive season for us. Why would we want to take the risk and have this thug on our books to ruin it all because I think he doesn't know how to behave himself and has proved that at nearly all the clubs he has played for! Funny how now he is desperate for a club he wants to play for us!
Agree0

When was the last time Barton was introuble? {Ed025's Note - when was the last time hannibal lecter ate anyone?....does it matter?
Agree0

'In the end of the day he's a blue, we can't just turn our back. He wants to play for his beloved boyhood team '.
Erm, so am I (a blue) and so do I (want to play for Everton), doesn't mean it's going to happen, or should happen.
At the end if the day he's made his choices in life and has to live with the consequences, if this means Roberto won't take him so be it. He only has himself to blame, nobody else.
Now, he may well end up signing but it won't be because he's a blue and wants to play for Everton it will be because El Bob thinks he can do a job for the team/squad. Sentiment will play absolutely no part on the decision.

Joey Barton? Rather sign Warren Barton.
He may be worth a punt though. NFL style hoof into the Channel?

I cannot understand people who now say they want joey barton wearing a blue shirt. Have u all got very short memories, he has called Merseyside several times, he is a troublemaker who obviously gets paid far far too much for trying to kick a ball in a net, would everton not be better of my giving some of his wages to local food banks as us hard working people cannot afford food let alone have enough money to go drinking, be violent and insult the city of Liverpool and its residents another one who forgets where he comes from.
