In comments critical of Jurgen Klopp and whoever the Manchester United manager is these days, who have said they would consider a player's covid "vaccination" status when signing a player, he affirmed that he would sign players regardless of their personal health choices on the matter, acknowledging that the 25% of EFL players who do not intend to get this medication have their reasons and committing to placing a player's ability first.

Admittedly things are a bit different in the PL with European matches in places like Italy where "unvaccinated" players are not allowed to play (though personally I think in such cases a team from Italy playing a team from a country with different rules should play their home game in a neutral country or forfeit the match if exemption is not granted), bit I  think that Barton, regardless of what he may have done in the past, has made the right call on this one, and I would hate to see Alty missing out on a good player because of his legitimate health choices over a medication being used underr emergency authorisation.

Always been the top of the pile when it came to intelligent footballers... oh no wait, we're talking about Joey Barton.

Barton is known for doing some stupid things, but that is character, not intelligence.

Er......I think you might want to Google the definition of “stupid” and revisit that statement. The lack of intelligence figures greatly in the many sources of the definition, as it does in Barton’s antics.
