I've changed my mind many times about Barton, means nothing. People have changing opinions all the time, doesn't make them any less valid.

Might be our fucking saviour this year you know, these younger lads.

Na i reckon we will get someone, out of the blue. If we don't well.....

Sibierski please.

I think he's gone mad, seriously. I mean look at all his philosophy shit, weird.

I don't think Pardew as a say in what goes on, in fact i'd be suprised if they even bother to tell him.

Fair's probably not the best term for it. If he wanted to go there he could just as easily have handed in a transfer request rather than opening a twitter account to spread s**** and lower the fee for the club that's tapping him up. Care to explain why, if he was so desperate to go as is claimed, there was any need for the Twitter bollocks (or a transfer request), when the club were trying to sell him anyway? I've asked this about 10 times in this thread and still not had a decent answer. If we were so eager to sell, why we letting him go for free? Barton has made it clear he would not be sold at any price. He wanted to see out his contract or go for nothing. I believe it was a matter of principal following the manner of Carroll's departure, whereby the pushed him into the corner of a transfer request (which I think he was a twat for submitting). The club therefore had a player who they would be forced to spend another £3m in wages on and who guaranteed a zero return. As with EVERY decision made at the club, this one was made to save money. Ashley's view is £3m is worth more than 30 odd appearances over the season from JB. I don't think anyone can argue that the club has sinister reasons behind wanting him out but Barton made it too easy. Infact i probably would have kicked the fucker out, but i wouldn't have messed around a hand full of players.

I agree with your sentiments regarding the modern game, i said something similar in the SBR thread.

Barton's the total opposite of the 'modern footballer.' The fact he's a cunt suggests he is not.

Ignore Prophet he's an Ashleyite, get him.

I'm still looking forward to next year. Nothing will stop me looking forward to the football, even if we are shite.

Would have Bentley, as Bartons direct replacement.

No chance of Ireland, nor would i want him.

Don't think you'll be laughing for much longer. Sorry, yeah, Man United have decided against Sneijder since Barton has become available. Chelsea might take him instead of Parker.

3 clubs been in contact for Barton already.

VILLA, that's where he will go.

Keep it to yourself then. No reason to get involved in slagging matches.

Do you believe him?

The guy is just looking to cause as much drama as possible. Ultimately he knows it won't cost him anything. Pathetic guy. Heh, yeah. Maybe he should have considered what his actions could do to the honor of the club before spilling his over emotional ramblings. Guy was willing to take a pay cut to stay, what other top quality players in their prime would do that? Plenty of clubs would be willing to offer him a deal after last season. Evidence?

Yawn.

Apologist. The klan will get you.

That's funny i've said any of them are money grabbing cunts. Carroll and Barton are cunts though.

Who's defending the management?

Do you think Joey is sitting at home gutted or sitting with a smile on his face? Whilst the fans are up in arms at the state of the club he will be mulling over contract offers and choosing who he will play for next. He does not give a flying fuck about this club or its fans. I in no way support Ashley & his muppets BUT Joey knew what he was doing, he knew after what Jose did how the club would react, lets not paint him as an inoculates in this because he is FAR from that. Some fucking sense. Barton's amusing at best, we all know he's a trouble making little cunt.
