It must be a little worrying having both Joey Barton and Karl Henry in the same team.
Championship football isn't too bad, I find it more entertaining than Serie A or La Liga matches between bottom half teams.
Bro, the QPR rumor mill reckons we'll get Scott Parker from Spurs. A midfield combination of Parker, Hoilett, Towsend and Barton would be pretty formidable.
Despite his temperament, Barton has shown commitment for the first couple of games he's played. Can't see him going to any PL side unless on loan as his wages are too high.
With the right attitude, he could do well for us but it's quite clear he feels championship football is beneath him when he could be playing CL with Marseille.
I'm glad they've off loaded some players this summer, it gives us a great opportunity to rebuild and eases our wage bill.
The Championship is a tougher league than many fans give it credit for. They start earlier, play more games plus you've got play-offs for promotion to the EPL.
