So that's all? Let's become Barcelona?

I feel like counting down for a nuclear bomb explosion.

In fact, both sides are not optimistic about Barton's ability at 32 years old, including Barton himself If he is able to perform that well at that time, he would have no problem to get another extension with similar wages right? Anyway, I hope he can agree with a 3 years contract...that will be the best for all parties.

You will only consider Valencia as quality purchase when you are Man Utd who can afford 16m for a squad rotation player.

Controversial. He has too much power that no manager could work well under him. Anyway very good news for Mourinho.

Barton is relatively easier to replace to be honest. The real problem is, who next? Coloccini? Nolan? That would be devastating.

Paying 50k for Barton at 32 could be very risky. See Butt.

That's those statements that do no good to every party involved man....

David Beckham.

Nolan has yet to sign it. Probably he won't as very likely he would also get a pay cut.

There must be an offer on the table, or else Barton won't give out those statements before. So what Willie means is no improved contract after the one in January, do not think the current owner will back down, and therefore has to leave for free next season. Ransom.

There have been two offered contracts. Latest today. I think the offer today is the same as the one in january

Obviously.

No point if he wants to stay until the end of his contract. Then prepare to rot at home counting his money. I am pretty sure a year away from top level football would end his career.

I dun give a damn shit towards willie's words. What should the club do? Holding out an ashley out campaign again? is this his pay back towards the club and the fans patience for 4 years? stupid cunt in the highest order. Everyone know you are just demanding for more money ffs. Since his future is no longer here, who knows whether he could still be that good both on and off the pitch? Transfer list him now. I cannot tolerate him anymore.

Transfer list him then.

No one believes the club did not offer a new deal. It is just the details. Two years? Three years? Half pay cut? anyway, same as saylor case, I am supporting the club as I really don't like being held ransom by the players.

I am not optimistic. Remember Saylor was transfer listed last summer after failing to agree a new deal with the club? I could see the same happens again but Barton would not back down like Saylor did. This would not end well.

No point admitting the deal actually. It will only ends up paying higher fees for attracting bidding wars.

State those comments to the media, getting personal assurance from Pardew...etc. The next thing is to do a Given - threatens to submit a transfer request if not guaranteed a regular starting place.

Fucking hell we will never interested in Robbie Keane.

Just waiting for Man Utd's mega bid like Valencia?

We did try our best to sign Modric. Just the player turn us down for Spurs. Couldn't blame the club for that.

It seems like he is trying all methods available to secure his No.1 position. But if he still commits silly error like in the last few matches, I'd rather play Harper instead.

Not bad considering Ameobi is shit, Best is injury prone, Ranger should be loaned out and Kuqi has left. If we really signed 2 great forwards we can dispose Best anyway.
