Would anyone else apart from me like to have him here? Quality player imo. Used to despise him, largely due to his off field behaviour, but seems to have sorted himself out recently and has improved a lot as a player. Would certainly add the grit we're missing in midfield.

agreed. him and jack in our midfield would scare the shit out of most PL teams

As with Larsson, Barton would be a definite improvement in our Squad and I'm all for that. He had an outstanding season last year, takes good free kicks and scores a few goals too. One things for sure, he won't put up with anyone who looks like they aren't giving 100%! If only we started actually signing some of these players and clearing the dross out, we would start to have a squad that is capable of competing!!

Too hard.

Not the first time you've said that to King Jay I bet!!

I remember I said the same thing not so long ago on another thread linking us with Barton...

Diaby, Eduardo, Ramsey??? Anyone? No barton did not break any of these players leg but it's not that he didn't try! Barton is exactly the kind of player that rots the football landscape with his constant cynical play.
But who cares is he keeps on playing football, and why not in one of the top clubs in europe? As long as he breaks legs for us...

As for the "French/african lazy players", may I remind you that our most lazy players are a Russian, a Danish and a Brazilian...

Oh behave, Vieria was an animal on the pitch with little or no self control and a short fuse who often saw red mist, let's not be hypocritical here.

And no, our lazy players are not just Brazilians, Danish or Russian, far from it, at various points of the season Nasri, Clichy, Eboue, Squillaci, Koscienly, Diaby, Song, and Chamakh have either been slack, switched off or simply not turned up, the only player that never was young Jack....

I still believe there's a difference. Viera was like other physical midfielders, he was very commited and sometimes went over the line. He was combative, not cynical. Barton doesn't get pushed over the line. He's fully aware of what he does and pretends clumsyness to break players bones! He's cynical, not combative.

So yeah basically we can agree that most of our players this season went missing at some point except Wilshere. So why single out french/africans? I'm not talking about racism or anything like that. I just single this out because it seems like you believe that our players are lazy because they're french or african, while the truth is quite obviously that our manager is unable to motivate his players, regardless their origins...

I say French/African because like it or not that is what most of our squad are.

Yes but it's due to the manager being incompetent!

You say you don't want another french/african lazy player. I say what ever country the next player comes from, wenger will instill lazyness in him...

I'd love a French/African player that is like most of the French/Africans we had before 06.

I'd hate a player from anywhere (for argument's sake, Russia...) who is a useless lazy underperforming *word censored* pussy like the French and African players we have had since 06!

Are you saying that he didnt see the red mist?

That is a lack of self control mate.

For what its worth I don't think its a bad thing, I want to see someone in the side that flips from time to time, it would certainly stop players like Shawcross trying to snap someone in two or Darren Fletcher trying to take liberties because he knows he can.
