Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Think he will turn it down tbh.

 

I would find a pay raise, long-term contract, and the chance to get far, far away from Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias very attractive.

 

Exactly.

 

Please don't agree with me. I'm already depressed enough as it is.

He's no longer following any NUFC player on twitter?

 

Thought him and Simpson were getting along nicely.

 

Guess that's another sign of him properly going - severing ties with anyone from NUFC.

Oh well, at least we can look forward to him telling all about things behind the scenes at NUFC soon, then.  :happy1:

Why would he? He already knows a big club won't come in.

 

He is perfectly happy here by his own admission, ball is in his court. Why leave for a club like QPR now when he can pick up a bigger signing on fee next summer. He isn't be frozen out here, infact It's clear he is a starter for pardew. Another season playing like last years and a bigger club than QPR will be in for him.

Cruciate knee

Fracture

 

any number of reasons that could end his career at 29 with no further earning capacity

Gutted to lose him but at least midfield is an area we're relatively strong in. Also, he was at times too much of a distraction and you go into every game worried he's going to be targeted by the other team and get sent off or do something stupid.

If Barton went out in an area where we were relatively strong and it allowed us to get Cissokho and Maiga through the door

 

would it make people happy

Also, he won us shitloads of points with his performances and took away focus from players of other teams by just being on the field. He will be a HUGE miss.

How will it allow us to get them through the door?

Only at this club can we win a derby and talk about capitalising on the positive vibes flowing by bringing in a couple of players only to turn around and sell one of our best.

Bigger than QPR? Can see anyone outside the top 4 taking him for nothing if he has another season as good as the last. Big ask for him to do that and stay trouble free though.

I'm getting absolutely sick to fucking death of shit like this, i've been supporting this club & attending matches since the late 70's & i am so disilutioned by the whole game its untrue.

Do the paying supporters even come into the reckoning at all now......not at all !!

The whole game is absolutely ruined & is full of money grabbing individuals who could'nt give a flying fuck for the game.

I'm definately not the only one of my age group thinking this way i know that for sure.

 

R.I.P. football, we had some laughs !!

 

How does it does it compare to the past mate? Genuinely interested to know, I've only been supporting since KK era number one, and it doesn't seem to have changed much since then.

 

I guess one difference was that we used to pay the silly money to make players choose us, and now we're on the other side of the fence.

 

A good deal of the pain these days I'd put down to the sheer overload of press nonsense, claim, counterclaim, and every single minutiae being discussed.

 

Can't help myself now, but don't think I was any worse off getting the general gist from the chronicle and the odd radio show.

 

Ignorance is bliss they say.

there's two sides to that coin, i also go into every match knowing he'll give 100% and more often than not perform solidly, keep his head and wind up the other team (with a few recent exceptions)

 

say what you like about the arsenal incident but i'd sooner have someone in the team who cares enough to pick a cheat up off the floor by his neck and rattle the whole team than someone who's willing to let it go.
