What does that have to do with quality?
He's a quality player, not a saintly role model. No one's claiming the latter.
Quality includes his professionalism on the field and off of it. I do not want cancerous sores on my team - they tend to erode the locker room. He doesn't need to be a saintly role model, but he does need to be professional, and everything I've read about him says anything but. My personal opinion, but a strong one.
I think that everyone's opinion of him is a bit hyperbolic, to be honest. It's not like he's just going to drop kick Moyes in the changies.
He was doing well at Newcastle and seemingly taken to calling out Mike Ashley. He isn't the first. Not even of their current crop of players. Mike Ashley is a beaut. Newcastle's fans, despite often being beauts themselves, seem to be on Barton's side.
No way do I want Bellamy, didn't he smash a team mate with a golf club?
I would DEFO take Barton though, verry good player IMO.
Yeah but the player happened to play for Norway at the time so in actual fact that +1!
Brilliant.
