[IanFerguson2013 396]

He is 33 and a bit of a nutter. Surely not coming to Rangers.

[SkylineBlue 23,048]

Didn't he win player of the year in the championship recently?

Anyway, too old and too much of a prick. We do need experience,  but this is not for me. 

[King Jela 20,340]

Hopefully just there for a visit.

BREAKING: Sky Sources: Joey Barton at Rangers training ground today #SSNHQ

[SuperPapac05 3,383]

I honestly think if Warburton can reign him in attitude wise he'll be a great signing for us. Scott Brown trying to square up to him would be amazingly hilarious  

[daverfc13 175]

Get him signed, exactly what we need in the middle of the park. 

[gogzy 31,195]

Few people in the transfer forum reckon this is a done deal.

 

If we can get the best out of him, then there is no doubt he could be a player for us.  I have my worries that he can't be tamed though.

[chris182 6,256]

Would be an off-the-wall type of signing. Probably designed to give us that bit of bite in midfield.

its a no from me personally but I'll trust MW and DW in their judgement.

[Gandalf the Blue 1,384]

Warbuton is all about harmony in the dressing room. Can't see this being a good idea at all.

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,638]

If fuck all else it'll be entertaining if he starts his shite, it'll wind up the bheggars as long as it doesn't cost us !

Sick of saying players would be shite for us then they go and prove me wrong . 

So im saying nothing

By all accounts he's been a great influence in te Burnley dressing room this season and has seemed to calm down his antics over the last few years

I agree about the points you raise. This could be a good or a bad signing; it will be up to the player if he comes to do his best. I have reservations about this, but it's Mark Warburton's call.

He can't be tamed. He's 33 and a fucking arsehole

Apparently since he became a Dad he has screwed the head.

[ForeverBlue1872 463]

I'd have him here without a doubt, the league would be a walk in the park for him.

[Rangers Lady 2,380]

 

He is a horrible bastard of a man, his brother murdered a lad in Liverpool, the way his family conducted themselves after the guilty verdict was horrendous

As taig as it gets, that aside he is a good player who, according to experts is improving towards the end of his career

[TheKingObv 10,634]

He's comfortably better than Halliday and will do a job for a couple years. Sign him up.

[Del 667]

The guy has just had a great season, played over 30times for the English Championship winners and was voted in all the Championship team of the season by the players...

But aye, all the expert scouts on here know better, hes shite, not what we need, what are the management team thinking!

He wasn't an arsehole for Burnley

And that's just me lol 

seriously though I don't like him don't want him but MW is a great manager and no one went nuts when Diouf signed who is the same grain as Barton 

if he signs I'll still welcome him but he wouldn't be my first choice - simple as that 

[JockyWilsonspants 80]

A terrific signing if he does come to us  imo. I understand people having qualms about his past behaviour, but people can and do change. Lets hope thats the case with Barton.

If we had signed him this time last year we'd have had the same worries, but Barton would have proven those worries wrong if his Burnley stint is anything to go by.
