POMPEY IN FOR JOEY

EXCLUSIVE Adams desperate to end Barton's Toon hell

By Alan Oliver

Tony Adams wants to rescue Joey Barton from his nightmare at Newcastle United.

 

Portsmouth boss Adams sees the midfield bad-boy as the ideal replacement to fill the gap left by the £20million sale of Lassana Diarra to Real Madrid. People Sport understands that Adams has spoken to Barton's representative and the player is aware of the interest.

 

Barton last year spent a spell in rehab at the Sporting Chance clinic, which was co-founded by Adams after his own successful fight against alcoholism.

 

 

Adams has taken an interest in helping him overcome his problems ever since.

 

 

Barton, 26, is currently recovering from a knee ligament injury, which he suffered only weeks after coming back from an FA suspension for a trainingground attack on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo.

 

 

He had previously been handed a six-month jail sentence for assault and affray following a vicious street attack in Merseyside in 2007.

 

 

Boss Joe Kinnear said he is already lining up Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson as a potential replacement.

Different paper same cack.

 

1. How is Barton having a 'nightmare' at Newcastle, all his many misdemeaners happened while he was at City (I think!!)

2. JFK may talk a load of crap but pretty sure he's only said we've enquired about Ferguson, not said he was to be Bartons replacement.

It's the Mail so I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

 

That said, it's disgusting if the bit about Bridge being on £90kpw is at all true. Players like him and his two clubs (current and former) are ruining football.

 

Did any NUFC fans complain about 'ruining football' when we signed Shearer for a WR fee ?

I know I didn't because he could(and should) have been the final piece in our jig-saw for success...

 

Its City's turn to have a rich benefactor now and good luck to them - ours has simply cocked-up...

Please tell me you're not equating the signing of a left back who's been playing in the Chelsea reserves for 3 years with someone who, at the time of signing, was already widely regarded as one of the best strikers around. 

 

People, NUFC fans and not, are "complaining" because it's seen as a disproportionate amount to be paying for a player of that caliber at that position.  World class strikers command huge fees.  Seeing reserve left backs pull that wage and that fee only fucks up the pricing for everything else.

When you're losing 0 - 3 to the likes of Nottingham Forest, Left Back is probably one of the last pieces you need to find.
