Joey Barton in the England squad

[Howard_lfc]

He's a better player than I thought he was gonna be when he broke into the citeh team. But is he good enough to play for England?

[Mumsafan]

I wouldn't have thought so but then stranger things have happened

[Red Chilli]

Well, look at the England manager.

I'm not surprised, but then I've seen Carlton Palmer and Michael Ricketts play for England

Lampard plays for England.

[Chrono]

Lampard plays for England.

Good point

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Wasting his time in the England squad. He's behind Stevie,Fat Frank,Carrick,Owen H etc.......

He's probably good at Pro Evo 6 in the team hotel

[Mattshark]

I don't think he is good enough for international football, he is a slightly above average player in a very average side.

[Mumsafan]

He was very good on Question of Sport last night.

Carlton palmer got a cap or two

[anfieldpurch]

My Grandad says he was a brainy fella last night (Those who didnt see it wont know what im on about with the Grandad thing)

But to be honest i think Nolan is a better Scouse midfielder than Barton and central midfielder than Owen H and Michael Catprick

It’ll be interesting to see what the England players make of him following this comment:

"England did nothing in the World Cup, so why are they bringing books out? 'We got beat in the quarter-finals, we played like s***, here's my book'. Who wants to read that? I don't."

[PeachSalsa]

I don't like him and hope his reception is cold. Maybe Stevie will give him one of his old tackles to clear the air while in training.

[SouthAfricaRed]

He's more than a useful squad player.

TBF a Lot worse than him have played for England in the recent past

Probably more like ''I can't''. Horrible thug he is!

[Joe Le Toff]

Average player at very best.
Constantly talked up by the gutter press for reasons that escape me.
At no time has he been courted by the big 4 which says it all IMO.
Will probably end up at the Barcodes.
Where England are concerned, i would rather take Lampard and thats saying something as i cant stand that fat, over-rated tub of fcuking lard either.
