Barton unimpressed by Taarabt

[vespa]

No one of any note is going to offer big money for Adel, because he's unproven at this level on the pitch . He behaves like a lazy spoilt child,but were all prepared to put up with this when he's a genius, but if he's not performing, then weve got a problem. At the same point Barton has done nothing to deserve the captaincy ( there were numerous times yesterday that we had massive gaps that Blackburn were explioting , right in front of Barton, and he did nothing to encourage certain players to fill them, somthing a captain should do).
This sort of thing should be sorted out in the dressing room , not in the press.

I am quoting you now. "I fear we will lose Taarabt", why when he has said he wants to go for more money in January, so just accept it as it his wishes.

Also, last year you and others were saying don't worry about Taarabt being captain when he done certain things, so why don't you apply the same rules to Barton ?

cos barton has done fk all and been a major let down, compare him to scotty parker, we all thought we got the better end of the deal , i think it safe to say parker a major league away from barton

Yep make you right on captaincy I persoaly like a captain at the back therefor I would go for Ferdinad

Has Barton ever been the captain for Newcastle?

[gravesendhoop]

People keep saying no club of any worth will offer decent money for Tarrabt as he has a bad attitude.

Sound familiar?

It should.

No club of any worth offered to take Joey Barton even though he was a free agent because he has a bad attitude.

Id have Adel in my squad over Joey Big mouth Barton seven days a week.

[superhoop67]

Is Barton slagging off Adel , to hide his mediocre perfomances at the club ,people in glasshouses

[Morris]

He should look at himself before coating other players off, Taarabt did more in 20 mins than Barton has done in the last 3 games.

[Jeffro]

Morris spot on mate. Barton is a plum

I think he's using Taarabt to deflect in the same way NW used Ricroc to deflect.

Trouble is, we fans aren't that stupid.
Well, most of us.

Taarabt never slagged off his own players, and he delivered the goods on the pitch.
He also wanted to be here, whereas Barton has admitted he didn't want to leave Newcastle, and his lack of spirit shows his heart isn't in it for us -- where is the Barton from that Arsenal game who showed fire and passion? If he was giving 100%, we'd accept the odd flare-up, yellow card or even red card, if we felt it was down to the desire to win.
His mind is still at Newcastle, and he shouldn't be captain for that reason alone, let alone slagging off his own team-mate publicly.
He should be punished for that, but I bet NW hasn't got the balls for it.

Taarabt contributed massively to QPR FC being promoted last season and was a joy to watch, but since Barton has been made Captain, there seems to be so many snide comments from people who would turn a blind eye to things Taarabt done when he was captain.

Regarding Barton not wanting to be here, since Taarabt has arrived at QPR FC, he has said he will leave for Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and most of the teams in Spain, more recently he did not return to training (great example form the Captain) because he had his heart set on joining PSG and said last week he wants to leave in January for more money, to which NW said he can.

Regarding slagging him off.
"If I was Adel and I had Adel's ability I'd not be wanting to come up short having not worked hard enough. NW and others say that all the time but people don't slate them.

"I don't know whether that's because he doesn't work hard enough or whether he tends to sulk" NW and others say that all the time but people don't slate them.

"I'm happy that he's upset really because it shows he does care" NW and others say that all the time but people don't slate them.

"He wouldn't like to come in and apologise for doing that, and maybe didn't think he needed to, but to a lot of the senior players maybe he should have." This is a direct result for letting people do what they wants, when they want and letting them get away with it. It worked last season but wont this season.

I just read the 1st paragraph in the Mirror and that was enough for me,
I cant see for the life of me why anybody body is having a pop at Barton I make Him absolutly right on the money regarding Tarahbt it needs more players to tell Him more of the same .
I would say a lot of people who have had a jib at Barton to go back ad read what he had say again ,and dont just take a dislike to the truth

people need a scapegoat. barton happens to be a scapegoat for some because of his outspoken nature and the time he spends on twitter. nothing wrong with either imo. and barton is bang on the money regarding taarabt.
