He's a good player, but no longer worth the hassle.

 

Glad your not manager, you'd have got shot of Cantona and Romario cause they were no longer worth the hassle.

 

I know Cantona had a bit of a punch at a fan but i dont ever remember him or Romario duffing up some teenager and going to prison.

 

That's not really what's being talked about now, lets be honest it's because he's tweeting some home truths. I was all for getting shot of Barton back when everything came out but that's in the past now, he's progressed to be a first team player and better than most of what we have.

 

All well and good, and i agree with you but Barton is an employee not the boss, his tweets are dragging the club through the mud again.

 

I have no argument with what he says but how he is doing it, its childish in the extreme, and for me it shows he hasn't matured as much as he thinks, he some ways he has but in others he hasn't.

 

What happens if his new club whoever they are have things going on that aren't to his liking once he's been there a while, as has been noted on here a lot of the clubs have strange things going on, chuck Joey in it will be interesting to watch i've no doubt.

Barton was increasingly looking like he was on a bit of a sabotage mission.

 

Didn't look like he could be trusted to be focused on giving 100% and playing his best.

 

Therefore he wouldn't be of any use to the team, as long as he didn't have that new deal.

Ashley has clearly had enough of him slagging him off while paying him £50k + per week.

 

Many people would be the same. I still think a punishment/fine/time in the reserves would have been better.

 

And there is no doubt whatsoever he'd have kept stirring the shit. #pointless

This club! Always a drama, I really hope the rumours aren't true.

 

Barton has been silly with his comments against the club but surely it will be easier for the club to ban twitter than releasing Joey on a free. We're really in a position to release players for sod all aren't we. We are short of bodies anyway and letting go one of our more talented players is no way to go about things.

People defending this decision.  :facepalm:

 

Don't understand it at all  :lol: The only thing that matters is what happens on the pitch, this can only negatively effect us.

 

I haven't seen anyone defending the decision based on the effect.

 

But isn't having a player mouthing off every couple of days an untenable situation?

This is all part of a power struggle, everyone who was the "team" that kept Newcastle in the league, everyone of Hughton's soldiers are being fucked off in order go give Pardew full control.

 

 

 

Part of the reason Hughton was sacked/Pardew was brought in was that Hughton was supposedly too close to the players

p*ss off Joey and take Enrique with you.

 

Aye. We don't want players with any genuine talent at the club.

 

The players who are whining most about the bad morale are those on cushy contracts and want them renewed. I've got no beef with them trying to get better deals but to be creating a rift with the new lads because they are replacing their mates is going too far.
