Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Apparantly he's at QPR now.

 

It was always the plan to meet with QPR today either way. David Craig said he was meeting them at 11.30 this morning. Joey has since said that he needs to make a decision today, so I wouldn't read too much into him being there.

 

Surely if he was about to say them he won't sign a phone call would be enough.

 

Anyway, no when it gets closer to the decision I won't be in the house for 1 hour or so. Hope I'll be back and he's still a player here.

When it comes down to it QPR are the only club that wants him and that's on a free. Would be a massive gamble to let his contract run down and try to get a club on similar wages

Will anyone's opinion of him change if he turns down more money to stay here?

 

Not really. Would just tell me he has no interest in going to QPR. If he signed a shorter, less lucrative deal to stay here for another 2 years or so, then yes.

Blatantly p*ssed off that his only option is QPR. In his mind I'm sure he thought there would be a bigger choice of better clubs. Especially after McKay was slavvering on about Champions League clubs and options in other leagues.

 

Apparently not....Reality bites Joey lad.

 

Probably being offered no more by QPR than we offered him back in January too.

So what's the feeling people, QPR or stay?

 

Personally, I think he'll stay - if he wanted to join them, he wouldn't have waited 2 days to do it.

 

No other offers have seemingly come in (surprised West ham didn't make a move), so I don't think he's sold on QPR.

 

Would still have him back, if he commits to staying the full season.

This basically.

I'm sure he can't be surprised that no other bigger club is in for him. They can get a player of his quality no problem. Why take the risk?

 

He wants to stay here, work his little scouse socks off and be a model proffessional for a year, help make a new team, get in and help the new singings, keep his gob shut and keep twitter for Horsracing and quoting.

I like him a lot, but the best place for him right now is with us, and to stay here he needs to know he has to just stop fighting the battle he is fighting. He's not going to lose out by giving up. We're fighting it already, he'll only make it worse. Get on and play football Joey, we need you to play football. If he has really matured that much and does try and entertain philosophical thought, he should be able to grasp that much.

 

Howay Joey, make the right choice man.
