quayside Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Even if his contract is running down he's worth more than £6m to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Massive importance on him on Sunday now. Going to have to do a disciplined job alongside Nolan no doubt and his set-pieces are going to have to be spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 6m is much more reasonable. Still a def-no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If I could pick one person to score a winner against them it would be Barton just for how much they hate him and how much it would wind them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, plus how much I love him and how awesome his celebration would be. Smiling at the thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Deserves a new deal like, top class this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I wonder what sort of deal he will be offered? Probably worth giving him a few bob extra because he's a genuine leader on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Brilliant. Enrique next and that's us sorted for the next 3-4 seasons in terms of the main core of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Deserves a new deal like, top class this season. Definitely deserves a new deal based on this season, although we've paid him a fortune for doing nothing for a few years so hopefully he'll show some respect and restraint in his dealings over a new contract. Really hope Pardew doesn't ever try to play him on the left wing again like last week, the only reason we would want him out wide is because he's a good crosser of the ball, but on his right foot only.

TRon Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would never have dreamed I would be saying this a year ago but Barton epitomises what you need to be a successful Newcastle player. Big match temperament and talent. Shame he's not a yard quicker but then Gerrard wouldn't be an England player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Will be interested to see how much we're offering. Would be surprised if it's the same as what he's currently on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great news..... He only played well this season out of the past three seasons but still it will save us millions if we lost him for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Will be interested to see how much we're offering. Would be surprised if it's the same as what he's currently on. Supposedly on over 60k isn't he? No chance they'll offer him that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hope it's a reasonable offer they make him. What would you say that would be? Not amounts, but relatively - would you think a freeze or reduction would be reasonable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not amounts, but relatively - would you think a freeze or reduction would be reasonable? I'd say we should be asking him to take a reduction in exchange for a longer term contract + the option of a champions league club release clause if the two clubs can agree a fee.

jdckelly Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 i'd think the big change ashley might want is a relegation wage cut clause, that hit him hard in the pocket last time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds plausible. Probably lower basic and better bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not amounts, but relatively - would you think a freeze or reduction would be reasonable? Yes, very possibly. Can't speak about the specifics of his contract, but don't get me and my original comment wrong, I'm open-minded about what reasonable would be. I'm just concerned that they'll ask him to take Division 2 standard wages and start slandering him to journalists if he doesn't accept it and say thank you.

Yep - wouldn't surprise me but Barton must realise he still owes the club 2 years wages so there has to be a relatively 'do-able' middle ground if both parties are sensible. The worry for me would be Barton realising how well he's playing, how much interest there would be in him and thus trying to screw the club for one last payday knowing he's get it elsewhere if they didn't play ball, which they wouldn't. His cunt of an agent doesn't reassure me either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Going by what he's reputedly on at the moment, I would imagine we'll be offering him about half what he's on now. Good to see the club making an offer at all, but I can't see him staying beyond his current contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Would of thought it would be a reduced wage around 40k a week, but on a long term deal so he finishes his career here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
