Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Call me naive, but anyone who thinks the club are right in this instance needs slapping with three legged goat. Barton was one of our 'players of the season' and he should be treated as so.

he should be fucking thankful Newcastle stood by him also for all these years. Its down to Newcastle that he's still a football player.

So there's no contract offer, but if there was he won't stay anyway because of the owners? Sounds like McKay's getting mixed up in his own words ???

He won't stay for another year if they're not offering anything now. He's guaranteed to leave this summer now, with all the reported interest in him.

 

 

I'm not so sure about this. As with Michael Owen in his final year, Joey is on more money than he'd get elsewhere. It'd be in his interests financially to see out his contract and then be a free agent. He's not going to care whether the club get a transfer fee and he can't be sold without his agreement.

 

What's more, I don't think a club with better prospects than us are going to be in for him, so he may as well sit on the situation.

 

We've heard a lot about how he'll sign if a) Nolan signs b) the club re-invest the Carroll transfer money c) he gets a 4 year contract and even d) if there's a change of ownership. (Is that last one true??) The club might well have said, no more if-ing and waiting to see what other people do. Sign now or we'll make plans for a future without you.

 

I can also see the club being reluctant to offer a 4 year contract when he's spent much of the previous 3 years either injured, suspended or in jail.

 

I'm disappointed at this, but I can see their point of view.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Saying he (probably) wont stay unless there are new owners, is a pretty definitive stance to take if all he wants is a longer contract... especially with someone like MA.

To be fair, he has supposedly said he'd take a pay cut and another club would have offered him a contract if he wasn't here...let's not kid ourselves. I would have totally agreed with your post 2 year ago, for what it's worth, but then 2 year ago I wouldn't have said we would be back in the top flight and beating teams 6-0, 5-0, 5-1, etc. In which, Joey Barton played a massive part in.

Reinvest the Carroll money partly on buying a new right winger and fuck McKay off and never deal with him again.

as Baggio says its because he wants a 4 year deal. 4 years is just too much

Fucking hell. I guess this means he will be sold this summer then? Ridiculous man.

 

He'll either sign or be sold. The stuff about staying on no matter what is patently bollocks.

 

Yep. No idea which one though.

 

Could be the agent upping the ante by threatening to leave for nothing, could be the club playing hardball. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

His game doesn't rely on pace, he could play up until he's 32/33 and in his later years just be used as a squad player.  He doesn't look like he's falling apart like Nolan, I think this is the fittest I've seen him as a player.  Yet most are going on like the minute he hits 30 he's going to develop athiritis and both his legs will fall off.

If it's Willie McKay I'm glad it's that cunt Llambias dealing with the cunt.

Ireland as a replacement for Barton, you are having a fucking laugh surely?  That would be a terrible deal, I would actually cry!

 

Ireland and Larsson are the only two I can see us going for and both are inferior.
