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.

 

 

 

I see Alan Oliver has been successfully head-hunted by one of the quality Sunday papers :lol:
