Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Tron, there won't be a replacement regardless of when he leaves.

 

Maybe not, but I think the £3m saved on his wages could go towards upping bids for other players we are in for. In theory anyway, we won't know until next week for sure.

Whatever he's doing, it hasn't quite gone to plan for him.

 

Joey, get your daft little arse back up north, and we can forget all about this.

It was on twitter, so take it how you want but:

 

Barton to QPR has stalled as they wont give him the clause that if they go down he gets released

 

Fucking hell what a cheek he's got. I wouldn't be surprised if QPR don't withdraw the contract offer like we did.

Seriously, the outside of the stadium does look fucking grim and a half. :lol: Blank out 'Loftus Road Stadium' and I'd have thought it was a feature on 'Grimiest Hospitals of 1950s England.'

 

Where do we go from here if he actually decides to stay? Burned his bridges pretty effectively.

 

He's not really burnt them any more than he already had before the season, has he? Can't see there being much of an issue if he did stay with us. I wouldn't be surprised if he had already made up his mind of rejecting before even travelling down there tbh. Cynical I know, but feel this is all some very major ruse on his part.

Why do people insist on title changes? It's a forum people read the threads surely. Not sure about rest of mods but I have better things to do than read all the threads and updating titles as people request lol

 

Couldn't agree more. If you want to find out the latest news, you have to scroll to the back of 500 pages, and work your way back through everyone's posts. If you want to find out what the thread is about, clicking on the first page inevitably leads you to a story from 5 years ago. It's a bit shite IMO. Instead of changing the thread title for something related to a player, why not make a new thread since it's a new story?

If I was Pardew I would experiment with line ups without him in any case as I haven't seen any sign yet that the three man midfield is going to work. I can't see Cabaye or Tiote being dropped so that leaves Joey. Maybe it will click against Fulham but Barton hasn't got up and down the right flank enough in the two games against Arsenal and Sunderland which has given the opposition too much control of the midfield.

Makes the forum look messy.

:thup: It'll get merged like the scummy spin-off thread it is. And rightly so.

He's only played 45 minutes wide right. Spent most of his time playing deep with Tiote.

You'd have thought QPR would want that clause in anyway. Why would they want to be paying him 60k a wk in the Championship?

Unless you have sub-category's like; tabloid rumours, transfers, matches etc. This forum is very good, but the constant changing of title's just makes it too difficult to keep up.

One of the best things about this place, the updated thread titles.

 

Yeah title updates rock. Don't ever change Admin, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

 

 

 

Obviously divided opinion though.

You know what it needs? It's own thread. With a poll. Get on it, ToonTastic!  O0

Like I said no problems with title changes when something major happens but not for every minor change and tabloid rumour requested by people within the thread. Maybe if people just stopped asking for the changes it would be better just seems cheeky to expect it and complain if it doesn't happen instantly. People would think we work full time on here lol
