Barton to Tottenham
Sunday, May 10, 2009 at 2:38PM Is the type of headline that would have me burning effigies outside White Hart Lane, day and night, all summer long. No actual quotes from Harry Redknapp yet some of the tabloids have deemed it newsworthy to state that Spurs are ‘keeping tabs’ on Barton. Yes, because we really need someone who fails to conduct himself on and off the pitch. Ledley King’s arrest is fairly inconspicuous in comparison to how Barton goes about his everyday life.
In pure footballing terms, we don’t need a player of his ilk. We have Wilson, a panther on the pitch and gentleman off it. The last thing this club needs is a destructive force that would demoralise the dressing room and bring more unwanted attention to the club.
But we did, very publicly, court Craig Bellamy.
Club denial statement please. Otherwise the effigy gets it.

Barton to Tottenham ! don`t be f**king silly , he is a wet spam player at best . He is a useless twat who can`t control himself . Sod him , let him rot at some pisspot club like nocastle.
The tabloids strike again. If there's a player looking for a transfer, just link him to Spurs.
WALOB. The red tops must be using the same monkey on a typewriter to be churning out this shit again.
At one time Barton looked to be something near to a great midfield player, but in the end he's shown his true worth on & off the field. Lets move on to the next link with Spurs this summer. It can't get much worse than Barton, or can it?
What the f*ck!! This useless runt should just be banged up,cant remember him doing anything even slightly stylish on the pitch,what does he actually do??reckons he the hardman?Palacios could finish him with one shoulder charge! dont need this scrawny mouthy turd near our club!!! cisse and Carew please!
I would rather drink your piss, Spooky, than see that pikey maniac at our beloved club.
And no, that's not an offer.
I'm sorry but for the qualities he possess his mentality and lack of respect let him down. He is an accident waiting to happen and I'd rather that happen at another club.
No this is true unfortunately. My grandads, mate twice removed reckons, Arrys after Sol as well. Now that Levy's given him the dosh he also wants Carlton Cole, Damien Duff and Terry Fenwick.
Remember I said it first.
Couldn't happen anyway, he'll be on a life stretch for murdering an ex footballer and TV pundit.
Could well be true Bartons agent is Willy mackay. Harry and him are soo thick its not nice, look at Chimbonda, loads of Africans for the Pickeys and Pompey. The pair built a relationship on dealing.
Well - if Joey Barton ever came to White Hart Lane (in a Spurs shirt that is) I would, without a shadow of a doubt - tear up my Members Card and post it to Daniel Levy - and never step foot in the stadium again.
i second that woody
A burger flipper at Donalds or Burger king is probably more suited. No offence to the hard working burger flippers of the world.
No, no, no and NO
absolute prick keep the fuck away from our club!!!!!!!!!!
I don't believe this. Much like I don't believe we would consider Cisse. But then like the article states we went for Bellamy.
Cisse - over-rated and injury prone.
Bellamy - injury prone and not good for moral.
Barton? Likely to injury our own players and destroy morale.
But you can just see Harry going for him, can't you?
I'm waiting for us to be linked with Campbell. You just know that will happen.
