was joey a risk worth taking

[KingKirk 25,633]

personally I think yes and if we'd started the season better I don't think we'd be going through this shit right now.

was buzzing when we signed him sad how its gonna end up but probably for the best

[j1mgg 3,766]

No, too expensive on a weekly basis with no sell on; we would of been better getting someone in on loan.

[Juniorsparkie 491]

Can we make this a Poll ?

 

No.

[MasterD 7,435]

No.

I have no clue how too that's a job for mods fire away boys hahahaha

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

Don't know because we're only 6 games in.

[LiviGer 648]

In hindsight yes. Championship player of the year last year, could have added the bite that our midfield was missing. 

 

After half a dozen games he looks no where near the player he was at Burnley last season, spends too much time talking pish in the press and not enough time doing his talking on the park. 

 

So do answer your question. No. Wouldn't be disappointed if I never seen him in a Rangers jersey again. 

[Turnberry18 3,204]

Yes, the benefit of him doing well would have been good. Rangers can absorb the possibility of him being a bad signing, like the club can with any signing, but the reward could have been good. I'm not sure he will play for us again, which is sad in a sense because it would have been good if he had come and achieved success here.

[WATP-FOREVER 5,231]

Since the beginning of JB history, he's always been a fucking choobe - why would it change now - and his next club he'll be a fucking choobe their too.  He's the scousers version of royfuckingkeane.

fair enough point that i think hes struggled with the pressure

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

Obviously his performances so far and the current situation means 99% of people will say no.

At the time, signing him was a no brainer.

Should make this a poll and then if he does actually play for us again after his suspension run it again at the end of the season and compare the results.

[TMB 14,167]

Yes it was a deal worth doing.  He's got tremendous amounts of EPL experience and only a few months ago won the English Championship with Burnley.  His time at Rangers isn't over yet and I hope we get 2 great years from Joey.

[Big Al 55 9,248]

Healthy dose of hindsight.

[philiprfc 1,799]

Didn't think so at the time. Thought he was too old, would be too expensive and would come with too much baggage.

Haven't seen anything so far that tells me I was wrong.

Have we actually seen anything from him that justified the hype?

imho he's looks done a season too far even at this level.

He was no bother at Burnley only appears to happen at big clubs with massive pressure on him tho

In my opinion it isn't fair to write a player off after 5 games, no matter who the player is or how much experience they have.

[KingKirk 25,633]

Barton ain't been suspended for a month all in (basically) and playing for us again his Rangers playing days finished today IMO

[True Azure 1,414]

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,716]

No.

He's a tube.
