Tooj Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wrong choice. All the worst Joey, you complete c***. Have a word with yourself. I suppose I'll sympathise with the lying millionaire football, would that be the level headed thing to do? Or you could stop being so melodramatic. That would do.

ponsaelius Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I don't think he has conducted himself well at all. I like his outspoken personality, his ability to articulate his point of view and the fact he wont hold back what he thinks. I like this side of his character a lot, but I honestly think he's a lot more cynical than people make him out to be. I don't think he loves the club or the fans the way he says he does. This whole Twitter scenario has been manufactured from the start in tandem with his agent, in order to publicise himself and get the fans on side. I don't think he's entirely truthful either. He said he wasn't offered a contract? I'm convinced that he was, and probably one that matched his value as a player too. The whole thing has been about making him the centre of attention, even organising Sky cameras to travel round with him when he was going to talk to QPR? Fucking hell, man. Good luck to him, good player and will be a miss short-term without a doubt. But his reputation far exceeds his actual ability level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Good player, who's on pitch contributions were important, but not irreplacable. Shame he's gone, but whatever. We've lost better and we'll lose better in the future. The biggest concern of mine now is who we'll play on the RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's conducted himself terribly for almost his whole career, no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A good player, but also a fucking nut case..The club stood by him when he had all his injuries and troubles off the pitch..Should have signed the contract he was previously offered, as a sign of gratitude..But as Nolan he chose money.. It would have been fucking lunacy to give those two the terms they're now on in their current clubs.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We thank Joey for his on-field contributions to the team... Sums up the reason why he ended up at QPR. No one else was prepared to gamble on the joey barton show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If he wasn't leave for free, he won 't be on 75k. Aye, if they'd signed him for say £4m and you take that off what their supposed wage package is you get to around £55k... the same as he was on here. He's benefitted massively from us giving him away, and so has his agent. There's little difference to QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say the money overall is about the same, but it seems like a much bigger gamble when you're paying a fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but TBF it's usually overlooked when people leave us for bigger money or more opportunity as well. Then we prefer to say it's because of lack of ambition and all that bollocks.

I think it's more to do with the fact that he has neither moved to a superior league or club. I could care less though. All to much drama tbh. No longer a Newcastle player, so move on.

As you say the money overall is about the same, but it seems like a much bigger gamble when you're paying a fee. If Barton plays well QPR can sell him to make a great profit since the wages unpaid are saved. On the other hand, if he's s***, they could still offload him, say, for free before his contract ends. So in the end it's us who suffer most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
