Why the fuck are they still lettign him near the training ground? Tell the little prick to stay at home.

No coincidence that those two are almost certainly the next highest earners at the club after Colo (staying put thank fuck!), Barton (going), Nolan (gone) and Enrique (going)

Nice try Joey. Time to pack your bags and fuck off! If you really loved it here and wanted to stay you'd have kept your mouth shut

Which probably means he's a silly cunt as well

If he really wanted to see out the last year of his contract he'd have kept his powder dry and his mouth (and laptop) shut. Joey Barton is not irreplaceable but there's even more emphasis on the board to appease us fans with a couple of signings. If they don't we're fucked!!

What have I missed? Why has this dude got his own thread all of a sudden?

My money is on Everton.

What he said....

He's the same age as me FFS!

Doesn't override the fact that he's a massive self-bumming prick though.

That's the spirit!

Yes, yes he is!

Aye. Did he not often play in the centre alongside Nolan and/or Smith? Played alongside Smith/Tiote when Routlege was wide with Nolan off Carroll iirc. He was alongside Smith when we raped Villa, and he played well. Pulled the strings against Everton alongside Tiote too aswell as playing well in the couple of games Nath has mentioned. The 'Barton CANNOT play centre mid' is completely overplayed, he's far better on the right as he's given the freedom he needs imo, but he's not the slow, weak lumbering sloth people seem to claim he is in the centre. I think this forum is quality, best NUFC one by quite a distance. One thing I have noticed in my short time on here is that people seem a bit extreme with their opinions. Seems to be no middle ground. I would agree that Joey has been far more effective on the right and he has had some poor games at centre mid for NUFC. I would tend to disagree with "Joey is s*** at centre mid, he clearly can't play there, has to play right wing or not at all" If I'm not mistaken this is the man that has spent his entire career at centre mid up until about October last year and pretty much kept Man City up on his own by playing at centre mid. Although I doubt many Citeh fans would admit that. What's this I see? A voice of reason? No, no, no! That's not the way we do things round here..

No thanks, apparently he's had contact from Arsenal and Chelsea. Think he's too far up his own arse. £10m?! Er.........no

If Jordan Henderson is worth £20m and Phil Jones is worth £18m then Sturridge must be worth thirty odd. He's a better player than Carroll for me and probably the player i'd most like us to sign this summer.

That video really highlights the need for us to sign a pacy striker or two - can't have through balls like that going to waste

Didn't Pardew make a comment recently about us having some Championship players in the squad? Perhaps Best was one of the ones he was referring to

Even better than I remember. Still can't quite believe this guy plays for us.

Not too arsed about this one to be honest. Pardew had made it clear he wants more pace and creativity in the team and I think we'd all agree with that. Nolan doesn't really provide either and if he doesn't fit into the system we'll be playing next year he'll be a very expensive bench warmer. Admittedly it is a risk given the number of goals he scored but let's see what we do in the next couple of months before we all go into meltdown.

Amazing how quickly you can get impatient with all this crap. The transfer window has only been open a week and i'm already pissed off that we haven't signed more players. Might have to take a forum break for my own mental health

Simpson-----Taylor-----Colo----M'Bengue? -----Cabaye-----Tiote-----Jonas -----Ben Arfa-----Ba-----Erding

lennon is just the poor mans routledge

I know nothing about this Erding fella at all. What kind of striker is he?

Firstly £15m is a laughable figure for Tiote. Secondly Chelsea don't have a manager
