Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton will be out of action for another month. The 25-year-old is yet to make his competitive debut for the club after fracturing a metatarsal in a pre-season friendly at Carlisle just weeks after his £5.8million move from Manchester City. Barton revealed last week he had set himself a target of being back for Sunday's visit of Everton and has travelled with the squad to their last three away games to add moral support. However, on the day England striker Michael Owen returned to the club's training headquarters to begin his rehabilitation from his double bout of surgery in Germany, manager Sam Allardyce wrote his summer signing out of his plans until well beyond the forthcoming international break. He said: "Joey Barton has got no chance for Everton on Sunday. It will be four or five weeks, or at least three or four reserve games." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 10017 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 So, the bottom line is that Barton just isn't match fit yet. I expect him to be in the squad then nevertheless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4446 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 A more preferable approach than the previous regimes - a couple of reserve games and a bit on the bench. Its a pisser as a whole but better this than further breakdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10017 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It will be interesting to see if he gets a run out against Man City's reserves tomorrow then and how he is coming out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You think Geremi is a better defensive midfielder than Butt? Cant see it myself, I think Geremi is a better all-rounder but he`s not better in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see it myself, I think Geremi is a better all-rounder but he`s not better in that position I think Geremi is better at not kicking the heels of players and giving away stupid freekicks in dangerous positions than Butt. Neither have excelled, but for me Geremi has been the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastlebroon 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 To be honest, sam isn't going to rush him back like previous manager's would have(souness). It also means he will be fully fit and less likely to break down. Good on ya sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Taylor should be the 4th choice centre-half tbh Given Beye Faye Rozenhal Enrique N'Zogbia Geremi Emre Milner Martins Viduka Smith Butt Taylor Ameobi Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
