would be a sick signingsick sick sickoh yeh bartons coming to west ham as well

Manchester City's Joey Barton - is thought to want a move to London, giving the Hammers the lead over other potential suitors such as Newcastle. The Hammers are thought to be looking at both Parker and Barton, rather than one or the other. Both are likely to cost around £8m.

Parkers worth every penny of 8.5 mil he's quality on the ball, in the tackle, in the air, positionally and can score goals. Barton is more dynamic but not better. Newcastle selling their captain and 'best' player over the last 2 years seems like suicide. WHY?

Being a Newcastle supporter I watch Parker a lot more than anyone here, and believe you me he is NOT quality on the ball, ever since that glandular fever ( when Roeder took over, February last year.) he hasn't been the same. Maybe the fever has f*cked him up or he has lost his legs f*ck knows but he is not the same player he was when we first bought him.For £8.5M and bringing in Barton for £4.5M would be top business, why?Because Barton is twice the player Parker is, Barton can influence the team to play better, he plays with his heart and has passion, he does this at City even though he slews them on a regs.I know that Barton is a bit of a c*ck end but so was Diouf and all of a sudden Diouf said that Allardyce has sorted him out big time and he would be happy to follow him at Newcastle.

I dont think Parker is a natural defensive midfielder, he runs around in circles cos it aint his position, when he was young he was always a skilful player, attacking mid even.Scored some screamers.I think he's sh*t DM, just tries to fly into tackles like he's Roy Keane but it aint natural for him.Grahame Souness and his stupid ideas.

That's the thing though even when him and Butt play, Butt plays DM and he gets set an attacking role, he shoots from like f*cking 30 yards and it hits some geezer in row z eating some pie.
exactlyhe aint a DM or AM, just a standard CM

Disagree still, Parker always seems to have time on the ball and is relaxed in possesion. True he hasn't been the same player in the second half of the season but seriously he is the teams heartbeat. Don't even watch stats too much but he has one of the highest tackle success rates in the league. No he's not a DM more of a box to box and like i've said Barton is more dynamic and energetic but definately not as classy as parker; yes he can influence a game positively but he can also give away needless freekicks and get sent off - a bit too wreckless for my liking . Parker also has to play with uninteligent ballers and often has little options when in possesion so has to play a square or backwards pass. Barton would be a good signing, but i'd prefer to keep Parker and put Barton or dyer next to him. Parker seems like a typical allardyce player guts determination and that bit of quality so its a surprise situation.

Parker does have time on the ball and he still chooses the wrong options, watch how many times he contemplates a decision when he is at West Ham, and you'll be like f*cking hell man takes the piss, still if the rumours are true about NRC leaving, I'd much prefer Parker in my midfield than him but in 6 months time you'll read this again and you'll be thinking sh*t man was right. The guy is a headless chicken, but who knows, he might perform like he did in his Charlton days as he is under Curbs' management.
