This isn't me trying to prove my point by the way because i actually remember this, it was taken out of context as him saying he was the best when he reckoned he was one of the best on his form at the time. Still wasn't imo.

 

 

“Honestly, I think I’m the best [English midfielder], Luka Modric and Samir Nasri are very good, but in terms of English players… well, Jack Wilshere isn’t bad, but Frank Lampard’s on the way down and Steven Gerrard’s been injured a lot.

 

“I’m English and I love playing for my country. Maybe the people at the top have a problem with me – I don’t know – but the trouble I had was four years ago. They should be able to forgive me, shouldn’t they?”

 

Aye, it's nowt like me giving you a ticking off or owt mate. I was just making the point that he said on form, which he was at the time for about 6 months. At the time he was playing better than a lot of players. Unlucky for him that that now means nothing.

Disgrace if this move is sanctioned. Blatant attempt to circumvent his ban. Absolute joke.

Shouldn't be allowed. Would love it if he gets back and is told that his ban hasn't been served.

 

I can understand peoples frustrations, but if someone finds a loophole in the laws, then you have to make new rules which close the loopholes. There is not much chance that they'll manage to do that before this saga is over, and there's no way they should retroactively punish him. Just have to let this one go I'm afraid boys.

I was only joking about the ticking off mate....;). I know he was in good form at that time but i thought he still gave the ball away far too much for my liking. And it was the short ten yard passes that he used to do it with. It drove me mad and i felt it was covered up a bit with his assists from set pieces.

Fleetwood should loan him but not register him...I'm guessing like with Bowyer here in the UEFA Cup he'd still have a 12 game ban?

You aren't allowed to use loans purely to avoid a ban, if QPR recall him once he's available then the FA will act.

 

Also, chances are Fleetwood are putting up a fair amount of money. Their chairman, Andy Pilley, has already invested over £8m in the club.

surely it doesn't matter if he spends 12 games banned at fleetwood or qpr, he still misses 12 games for qpr.  it should only matter if fleetwood plays 12 games in the same space of time that qpr plays say 10 then he goes back to qpr and then plays in their 11th game

Well that is obviously their plan.

The #FA will surely not sanction any ban dodge for Barton, via loan! My lobbying campaign continues. Fellow journos are supportive of my actions, and not to mention Neymar too.

Are QPR really that desperate to have him back as soon as possible? If he's only coming back for something like the 11th game why not just keep him and avoid being punished if the FA act? Didn't most of their fans want him dropped last season, something the manager eventually did as well?

hope qpr are sending him there to rot. He won't last long in that league before every wanabee hardman has a go at him and he reacts, he'll be fighting and banned again in no time. can't wait

Joey Barton's Fleetwood Town move from QPR collapses

 

Joey Barton's proposed loan move from QPR to Fleetwood has fallen through.

 

BBC Radio Lancashire reported that the 29-year-old England cap had been set to join the Cod Army on a six-month loan deal, which would speed up the time it would take to serve his 12-game ban.

 

However, it is now thought that QPR have opted against loaning the midfielder to a League Two side.

 

Barton said on Twitter:  "Fleetwood adventure is over. I loved every minute of it. Great club."

 

Why was 2011-12 Fleetwood's most successful season? Declared Blue Square Bet Premier champions with two games remaining and reached the third round of the FA Cup after knocking out Football League clubs Wycombe and Yeovil

 

Fleetwood chairman Andy Pilley said: "We're really disappointed not to have landed the loan deal."

 

Had Barton joined the Cod Army he could have returned to action on 6 October or sooner. That would have been around six weeks earlier than if he stayed at QPR, because lower league clubs play more league and early-round cup games than top-flight sides.

 

And BBC Sport learned that the Football Association would not prevent the loan switch - so long as he did not return to QPR before they had played 12 games.

 

Barton agreed to join the Football League newcomers for a week during pre-season, but was not expected to play a match.

 

But he went on to play 45 minutes of their friendly with Kilmarnock at the end of July.

 

He knows several Fleetwood players from his younger days and has a close friendship with Cod Army forward Andy Mangan.

 

Barton was sent off on the final day of last season as QPR lost at Manchester City and was later found guilty of two counts of violent conduct by the Football Association.

 

The midfielder was initially shown a red card for an off-the-ball clash with City striker Carlos Tevez, and incidents with Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany came after Barton had been dismissed.

 

He received a four-match ban for the foul on Tevez and another eight for his further offences.

 

Rangers fined Barton six weeks' wages and stripped him of the club captaincy, as well as leaving him out of the squad for their pre-season tour of Malaysia.

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton

Just come off the golf course so only just heard. A call would of been nice. Ah, well life goes on...

 

someone needed to call him up to tell him he'd lost his number 17?  :lol:  Does it matter?

 

He hasn't been given a number at all! Worded it poorly though.
