I agree on Bamba and McClean, but I wouldn't mind Joey Barton. Although I expect if he signed Murphy, Mowatt and Cook would quickly surpass him, as that is generally the way when we sign 'experienced' players, so I'm not sure if he'd be worth the wages.

A rather nice goal from Irwin:

But, of course, one can never trust YouTube as a way of judging a player.

I honestly don't think Cellino will sell byram for anything less than we received for Rmc

Barton :o

I wish folk would stop mentioning Barton. I've barely recovered from Diouf.

That made me laugh out loud Mellor :lol:

I think Barton is more of a prospect, in spite of his record, he is a very good footballer.

Quietly agreeing, though in Barton's defence, he has improved his behaviour.

Bluntly speaking any road, he ain't no Gordon Strachan and THAT's the sort of leader we need.

On Barton , imho in would relish and indeed flourish playing for Leeds, he has been a proper tool though down the years .

Barton could definetely do a job, but too expensive.

Said to the Mrs, some fans want Barton. Now the Mrs was passed over the heads of fans to escape the crush at ER/was chased through the streets outside the Victoria Ground and so on back in the Revie days so her opinion counts. I've brought the paramedics in and you'll be glad to know she's survived.
