GavK1012 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It wasn't me you were replying to, but I would like to point out that you seem to be basing your opinion on what other players will do next season. Got the lotto numbers while we're at it? It's highly subjective of course but one stat I'd give is being capped in a very competitive England midfield. Yeah I have to base that on this coming season as you cant compare players playing in diff countries and leagues can you with any degree of credibility!?? Dearie me if you dont accept that as the starting point you're in trouble re any viewpoint of note... Fair do's a England cap I will give you that as something other than the 'best' being trotted out...how old was he when he got that out of interest?

Australis Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I would love to see Barton sorting Scott Brown out, though I think Rodgers will have sussed Brown out long before the teams get the chance to meet.

Rudolf's Mate Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 He was on ?70k pw when he was at QPR but QPR was just a basket case of dodgy deals (don't forget that they had Harry Redknapp there for a little while as well as some Russian interests). I doubt Burnley would have put him on that but am also sure it would be well overpaid for what he brings to a club. Rangers will do the same; overpay him horrendously. Let's hope so, anyway. Burnley told him before he even went to see their facilities that they wouldn't break their wages structure for any player and that he would have to accept what was on offer. He acknowledged this when he signed. IIRC it was 15k last season. No doubt they had a huge bonus in the event of getting into the EPL though.

GavK1012 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 http://bfy.tw/5vJC Championship team of the year too mind Again fair play...so the best we have got so far as a 33-34 footballer re his credentials from his entire career are being voted as fans and players player of the year/team of year and an england cap many years ago yeah? Anything else? Hmmm...yeah mightily impressive so as to be quaking in boots!!! Picking a name out of thin air I would say someone like Chris Commons is comparable re age and having played in England, I am more fearful of how he can hurt us as a footballer than a convicted bully but fair do's others see the loutish behaviour as being a trait to mark a good footballer...

socrates82 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's a Pascali Bruno or Sandy Jardine type signing for them in terms of the stage of career, but of a lesser quality. He probably won't take kindly to players he's never heard of putting him on his pampered former EPL footballer's arse. Put it this way if Roy Keane can completely fail in our league, Joey Barton certainly can. If this is the type of signing Rangers are after I think we can compete with them next season. Watching them on Saturday, their team needs major work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Some utter nonsense being spouted on this thread. Can't see this is as a good signing. Big wages on a guy almost finished with zero sell on potential - truly the huns of old. I remember when Roy Keane came up here and he was going to boss it for Celtic, didn't quite pan out that way. Barton has been surrounded by very decent players at Burnley, a class above the dross the huns have, and this has helped him enormously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcw1874 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Seriously untroubled at the prospect of Hearts facing Joey Barton. He'll go the same way as Keane, Dublin, Wright, Diouf et al who washed up in Scottish football at the tail end of their careers. There are better midfield players currently on the books of most SPFL clubs. The other way of looking at it, if Bartion is soaking up ?20/30k in weekly wages that's 3 or 4 better players at SPFL rates they aren't able to sign. Works for me.

Bungalow Bill Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 From a non-footballing perspective I think this is a bad move for Barton.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Given his age and attitude, I fully expect that he thinks he's coming north for a few retirement laps and the odd "real game" against the OF. I think he'll be a bit startled by the standard of Scottish football (which is far better than its reputation in comparison to the ECL, IMO), will go off his rocker a few times, get frustrated, and ultimately not put in the effort to keep himself in top shape. No, I didn't watch much of him last year, but I saw enough of him in previous seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowmans_Boot Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Aye because he can influence a game with his ego..his manner...being a bully.. his reputation...I accept from that view point he is an addition if you want to go down that route with a 34 year convicted criminal as your way to approach a game of football..but that shouldnt be confused with being a good footballer from a technical point of view....im sure the Burnley fans did appreciate those traits as it helped them win games... You clearly know your football... My son-in-law is a huge Burnley fan and was, like most, sceptical about him signing. However, he is absolutely gutted about Barton leaving as he was a class above the rest, without any of the nonsense he has displayed previously, I watched Burnley a few times last season and Joey Barton appears to have matured and abandoned the idiotic side of his game. He was provoked on many an occasion and never retaliated. I think this is a superb signing for Rangers, although, as others have said, they need a fair few more like this to compete with Celtic.

ToadKiller Dog Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 History shows through his career when he has played at high profile clubs, Newcastle , Marsellie and at the time the mental QPR ,his temperament has failed , He did well at Burnley a low pressure club ,but history points to him exploding in the ugly west coast fish bowl . Hope he has matured as he will if playing well will be a good challenge for us . One we can win . He certainly will bring publicity to our league both good and bad .

Nevermind Celtic, they need a few more to compete with us. Joey Barton is just another in a long line of players with a bit of a name in the game turning up in Scottish football - not just at Celtic and Rangers - for one last payday. He's not even one of the better ones. He's perfect aligned with the Rangers brand though - thuggish, a big mouth, ill-disciplined, takes things personally... the refs will of course protect him as a "big name OF player" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 He's has the ability and attitude to influence a game. Whether people like it or hate it probably depends on what team you support. Regardless it's vital to have a player like that. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up with the pace our game is played at. If he struggles with it he might end up frustrated and there's only so much protection a ref can give a player who loses the head. They can protect him while he is being clever about it but not when the heads gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 A good short term signing for them no doubt , but very rare one guy makes a teams . Bang goes any talk they had of building a base from youth upwards . 33 going on 34 am sure our youthful talented midfielder such as Kitchen and Djoum will match up well enough to whom ever they bring in . Not going to fear the Orcs cause they have Joey Barton . He is hardly Paul Scoles Its the strikeforce that will be far better at Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
