really don't get why everyone seems to leave their business to the last minute (except Fergie)

its that I'm struggling to make any sense of Severing all his ties with the club, so in that sense he's definitely off... don't think any other player who's moved has done that

No top club would go near him, man, and it's nothing to do with his repuation. I don't understand how people can watch the likes of Man United play the other night, or Arsenal and Spurs at their best and think he could fit into their midfields. He'd be a fish out of water, man. I'm surprised somebody like Stoke or another mid-table club hasn't put the cash up for him, mind. I think that may be the simple reason, asking for too much cash. It was obvious when this first blew up Bartons agent was expecting clubs to be tripping over each other to get him for free competing with each other in an auction type situation where Barton gets a fabulous deal, instead the big clubs no interest, not good enough for them. And Mid table? He's on a big salary here and its reasonable to think he may want an increase so if he's on 50-60k a week here (conservatively thinking) then would a Stoke etc really pay him over 60k a week?

as usual the rankings baffle me

You're stolen enough of their players anyway. not our fault they want to play for a real country

I've gone for a more meh approach for now, no need to go overboard with a week left

Coyle didn't sign him though, wasn't that Megson

which won't happen, if QPR are matching or improving on what he's getting already (which is significant) then there is no way in hell Ashley would give him a new deal on those terms as he'd want, and thats without taking into account the fact Ashley just wants rid Money wouldn't even be an issue here imo. The lenght of the contract - the fact of an offered contract even - much more. disagree, if he's been offered a pay rise and a long term contract from QPR then if Ashley suddenly went insane and wanted to keep him why wouldn't Barton ask for what QPR were offering

Unless they offer stupidly high wages I can't see him going there

very good signing for them

can't recall any really great chances they had tbh just a few from outside the box

when you have a young striker like Wickham whos only experience is against champ teams surely you play him in a game like this

thing is how can they keep him after what he's done

sweet 63 points this week thank you Darren Bent for 24 points

better either of them than Bridge

shite link but anyway http://whatculture.com/sport/newcastle-united-eye-watfords-england-keeper-scott-loach.php

rather ominous for the rest of the league that performance only downside for Man U is De Gea still looks dodgy

5 or 6 goals please Rooney
