If we sign Joey Barton we might as well close the academy because Barton would step in front of Welsh in the queue for the first team.
I would prefer to use the money earmarked for Barton and Sean Wright Phillips and put it towards financing a really top drawer midfielder and promote Welsh as a regular back up player in the first team.
Welsh can hardly do any worse than most of the existing midfielders at the club, can he?
