David28 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Same situation as it was when Nolan was about to sign for West Ham, I also hope it would brake down. Not as much as now obviously, though. Always hate those pictures of our players arriving at other clubs for medicals - Milner, Given, Carroll, Nolan and now Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 My gran is class Just been talking to her about this G: "So what is this I hear about Joey Barton? Going or not?" JH: "He's away to QPR. Medical today" G: "So why is he going?" JH: "Because we don't want him anymore" G: "But I thought he was good?" JH: "He is" G: "So what are we getting for him?" JH: "Nothing" G: "And what wage is he on?" JH: "They're offering him 80k, he was like 60k or something here" G: "And who's replacing him here?" JH: "Nobody" G: "So let me get this straight, we're letting a really good player go for nothing and not replacing him? Well that doesn't make much sense..."

Baggio Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So much for only leaving for a top side, Joey. Not too bothered he's off, he's a decent player but not good enough to make up for the complete liability he is, add to that he's had one good season for us in the 4 years he's been here and that the majority of his assists came from dead balls that Cabaye will now take anyway then you're left with a player that is just not worth the hassle. If Pardew is happy with Marveaux and Obertan on the right then put Barton's wages towards signing a new right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 JOEY BARTON would not have played for Newcastle United anyway tonight at Scunthorpe – after losing his boots before the trip to the Stadium of Light. Barton held talks with Queens Park Rangers yesterday in the capital after the Londoners approached the midfielder via his agent Willie McKay. Pardew was looking to include Barton in his squad for Sunday’s game with Fulham. Barton lost his boots before the game with Sunderland and was forced to find some replacements, meaning he was unable to break them in. Speaking on why Barton was always going to be out of the clash at Glanford Park, Pardew told the Chronicle: “Joey’s boots went missing, and he’s got terrible, terrible blisters, so we’re going to give him a rest.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/08/25/barton-would-have-missed-scunthorpe-clash-72703-29298548/#ixzz1W2jNKux7 That's a new one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory he could wait until Wednesday to decide on the deal, leaving us no replacement. MA would be delighted with this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
