With rumours abound...

Please keep replies legal.
 
I think he has nearly 40 goals in 90-ish games for Fleetwood which makes him a decent punt. Not the most likeable of characters though. Still 32 but with two years out of the game he should have more left in the tank than your average 32 year old. If we must shop in the lower leagues, we could do a lot worse than bring him in.
 
I don't mind who he is as a person as any legal issues have been taken out of court BUT he isn't good enough as a player, so NO
 
I'm guessing by legal you mean avoid anything that could be construed as libel?

The man's conviction was overturned, so as far as I'm concerned nothing should stop him finding work in or out of football.

BUT I believe his general attitude and the rumours surrounding his departure from Fleetwood paint a picture of someone I wouldn't want associated with the club.

Anyway, all of that pales in comparison to the fact that he simply isn't good enough. No thanks, but hope he gets another crack elsewhere, at a club nearer to his level.
 
A strange, strange signing. A waste of a wage.
He’s not pulled any trees up at Fleetwood and considering Barton wants rid, he must be a bit of an unsavoury character.
Considering there always seems to have been good lads in the dressing room, it seems strange to throw a seemingly bad apple in there and I think it perhaps sends the wrong message out to fans about the kind of person we want at the club?

If he was a 22 year old with 40 in 90 in league one I'd be the first to want him to sign.

If he was 32 with 40 in 90 and had shown previously and recently that he can cut it in the championship, I'd be open to it.

But he's previously shown that he's not good enough to step up. At least with Stockley and Moult they were unproven at our level, so there was a chance they'd be up for it. Evans simply isn't, and has already shown us this.
 
You can’t discount his past, at least, it’s very difficult to. From a purely footballing perspective, he doesn’t improve us. At all.
 
All along I have dismissed this signing and even voted against it but....

IF we don't intend on signing any other striker this window I would take him ahead of Stockley in our squad until the end of the season
 
From what I’ve heard , Barton is a nob and fallen out with a few players in his time at Fleetwood, not all down to Evans, saying that it would be a vastly underwhelming signing . Nugent mark two .
