Guest bimpy474 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Can't say I'd be surprised in the slightest if they sold him like. After that, it's just Routledge and Enrique and we've finished our round of player sales for the Summer. Out goes all those silly people wanting contract extensions and we can start looking to January and who we're going to fob off then. At least we've reduced that massive debt that seems to grow despite us spending no money. Money ftw I'll never understand you kids and your money wanks. Me too, at my age seeing a fleeting cleavage that isn't the wifes makes want to wank, even bashed one out about her mothers, never about money though.

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Whatever does happen, I'm sick of this t***. He says some funny things, he has some common charm but all he's done is create massive unrest. Surely the unrest comes from the going on at the club ? If Carroll, Nolan, Barton, Routledge and probably more who i've forgotten all come out and complain about the exact same thing then surely the unrest is there and it's noubt to do with Barton ? Nope. All Joseph's fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 MsiDouglas Mark Douglas #NUFC had lined up Tranquilo Barnetta as Joey Barton's replacement if he left. Could movement there have prompted Joey's ire? Barton is better. Plus we have no money to spend, and we will not get Barnetta for the same price as Barton will fetch. He isn't, and nobody's said we have no money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cr4igora Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ...and things aren't going to settle down until Jose and Barton go. This means losing two of our best players for relatively low fees as they're in their last year here. I just don't see us replacing them with anyone that comes close. I have a feeling that getting rid of Barton has been on the agenda this summer, and although I'm often outspoken on it, I'm not that bothered. I don't rate him very highly and I certainly wouldn't want him to be at the club for another 5 years (which is what he'd push for in a new contract). His free kicks and corners have been poor, particularly over the last season and he is always giving the ball away. I think he is already replaced, and that's by Yohan Cabaye. The midfield this year has been bolstered by Cabaye, Marveaux and the return of Ben Arfa and even though we've lost Nolan and seemingly Barton, I think overall you have to say that's an improvement. It goes without saying of course, that a replacement for Enrique if he is going and another new center forward are still high priority to improve the squad in the other required areas.

Dr Venkman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm gonna go with that he has submitted a transfer request and the club have accepted, so he will be off in the next week or two. Not like it was unexpected, given that he was never going to get a new deal anyway. Ashley and Llambias must be laughing their tits off, especially given the amount of fans that have turned on Barton. For the record, I was one of those who wanted him sacked when he got sent to jail, but the lad turned it around and put in a very good campaign last season. NUFC will be a lot poorer without him, IMO. And in the meantime, the owner continues to laugh all of the way to the bank. Oh and if he goes, we are again down another body. And in the meantime, Pardew is hoping to bring in 'one' new face. Fucking wonderful because we will now have a weaker squad in terms of numbers than the one that started last season. We are fucked as things stand - it's as simple as that. :thup: I wanted him sacked too btw. Yup It is rather amusing that the majority on here idolised him last season despite him being a convicted criminal and general anus, however, as soon as he produces a few nasty tweets directed at the owners, who have constantly shit all over the club, the man is the human realisation of satin. announcement will be he's getting married imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The announcement being at 4pm would suggest that whatever hes going to announce is being worked out atm wouldnt it really Otherwise he'd have just said it. So its likely involving a meeting of some form about his future you'd think. He's said he's watching Homes Under the Hammer at the minute.

ToonTastic Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Can we just define "treating certain players badly". Basic management would tell you if you lie to your employees, offer them something which never happens, and renegade on agreements mean your employees moral will reduce, work ethic will become worse and not just with the person directly concerned.

Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Barnetta's a good player if Joey does leave. Wont get Barnetta, Pardew will probably try to sign Routledge from Swansea for £5million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
