Official: Joey Barton signs 2 year deal with Rangers

[Rousseau 10,640]

I thought the rumours were absolute fantasy, but I'd be delighted to get him.

 

He's not a beautiful bastard, but he is a bastard. Fans have always said that we need a bit of steel in the midfield; doesn't get much better than Joey.

A step backwards lets bring in younger players

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future, for me now it's not what he's done. It's what he does for us and how he conducts himself. He's no angel, but we don't need an angel, more of devil, but with a bit of maturity. If we pull his teeth you take away his bite.

He has been Trouble no matter were he has been and a disruptive influence in the dressing room, I hope W&W can handle him particularly as we seem to have such a good atmosphere in our dressing room

I think Barton would be a decent signing. We need to remember we're still a relatively young side & he is an experienced player who plays in a position ( defensive MF) where we need to improve next season despite Halliday doing a fine job filling in there this season.

 

I'm also a great believer you cant always sign players for the future. You need to sign players for the present as Kevin Keegan said talking about Newcastle the other day. Barton certainly would be for the present and could do a job over the next couple of seasons as we consolidate back in the top division.
