Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

He knows exactly what he's doing btw.

 

The more he tweets like that, the more he'll get the fans onside. It's clear he's playing us off against the management in order to try and force a deal.

However good a player Barton is technically, he's far too slow around the pitch to play for a team like Man U who are all about dynamic movement and passing at speed. That's why these rumours always make me laugh, anyone who looks at the make up of sides like Arsenal and Man U would see straight away that those managers would never seriously consider Barton.

Quite unlike Paul 'Usain Bolt' Scholes, or the Lightening Kid, Ryan Giggs?

 

Both are/were pretty sharp about the pitch, and as soon as they lose that sharpness they start getting pushed further down the line for a starting place. Scholes has retired now in any case.

The only chance he stays if he has a change of heart in the next few months and just signs whatever contract the club offers to him (this nonsense about the club not offering him a contract is just that: nonsense. If he wants to sign a reasonable contract, there'll be one for him to sign.).

 

We don't know that for sure.

Yeah but I reckon between DL and MA they might struggle to give half a f*** over what the fans think about the Barton situation.

Not sure about that.  The management have never given a crap about what the fans want or think, I don't see it as being a particularly strong influence on them whether we want him here or not.

Maybe if he repeats last season we will offer him a further deal. Can see why we'd be hesitant to offer him a longer deal given his past record off the pitch and given his injuries.

If he has a good season he'll get his new contract.

 

Hope so.

One of them when I can totally understand both sides positions this one. I'd have played it exactly the same if I was JB or the club.

Just really pleased it's looking pretty certain he's staying another year.

Definitely feel more confident going into next season knowing he'll be at the club and giving us some continuity amongst the changes.
