The one things thats always concerned me with Barton is that I could never see him getting along with is what essentially is a team of foreigners.Not to mention our gutless squad wouldn't react well to the mentality that Joey has. Its an attitude thats clearly missing from our squad but I don't think our lot would accept it from Joey Barton. I mean for all Gallas's faults in his time Arsenal he had a mentality which was needed but our team didn't understand it and thus couldn't accept it. Now I don't see how Barton is going to achieve what Gallas couldn't with the rest of our squad.

Hold onto ur hats gentleman, King Joseph could be on his way!!!

Former Newcastle striker Micky Quinn has told talkSPORT that Arsenal have enquired about the availability of midfielder Joey Barton.The often controversial Toon star had a good season at St James’ Park weighing in with nine assists as they finished 12th after promotion from the Championship.And Quinn told the All Sports Show: “I know through a third party that Arsenal have enquired about Joey Barton.“What I’m gutted about as an ex-Newcastle player is that the spine of the team, the personality of the team is going to be gone.“Why are they letting players like Joey Barton go if they have any ambition, but it’s only going to Arsenal’s gain.“He’ll put a bit of steel into that Arsenal team, he goes forward, he was made captain, he’s grown up and he said himself that he’s making up for lost time for stupidity and injury, he wants to get to the top.“I think Joey has settled down a lot now, we know he’s a bit of a hot-head, we know he’s paid on and off the pitch for his stupidity but he’s settled down.”

Arsenal face having to pay over the odds for Christopher Samba after it emerged that former club Hertha Berlin get 15 per cent of any fee for him.Blackburn are reluctant to sell the centre back but seem certain to insist on at least £12million after agreeing to the clause when they signed him from Hertha for £450,000 in 2007.Spurs have also expressed an interest in 27-year-old Samba.Top target: Christopher Samba (left) is wanted by both Arsenal and SpursArsenal remain hopeful of finalising a £12m deal for Lille striker Gervinho this week and are chasing Southampton's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 17.Arsenal are awaiting a formal bid from Barcelona for Cesc Fabregas but the European champions have failed to sign any major targets yet.
Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni is hoping to finalise a £2million move to Fulham.The Cameroon keeper was due in London for talks on Sunday night and a deal would bring former Arsenal target Mark Schwarzer's future back into question.
Arsenal are lining up a move for Schalke's Spanish midfielder Jose Manuel Jurado as a potential replacement for Cesc Fabregas.Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is understood to have been impressed with Jurado's displays for the German club in last season's Champions League when Schalke made it to the last four.Although they were overwhelmed 6-1 on aggregate by Manchester United, Jurado came through the tie with some credit and scored Schalke's away goal at Old Trafford.The 24-year-old was excellent in their 7-3 aggregate win over Inter Milan in the quarter-finals and played well in Schalke's 3-0 home win over Lyon - matches which Wenger followed particularly closely.The former Atletico Madrid man was sold at the start of last season for £11million and would represent a cut-price alternative to Fabregas if Arsenal could snatch him for a similar fee.There have been rumours that the German club are desperate to raise funds quickly to clear some long-standing debts and may be willing to offload one of their star names in the next few weeks.
