GuyP Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 We all know the history and character of Barton etc. but, in a way, isnt it nice seeing an English player go abroad? I'd rather it someone better, but its just refreshing to see him go abroad rather than to another QPR type (and we all know that he would have probably got a half-decent club despite his most recent problems) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 One less arsehole living the UK now at least. Probably contributed more to the public purse in a week than you and I will all year. That's true. Wonder how much the premiership pays in wages goes into the public purse. Has to be 100's billions (erm millions) I'd be surprised if they pay their fair share. Lots of tax engineering at work, for sure. Joey Barton is a good footballer, but a terrible human being. Sad thing that the first can so easily trump the second and he still gets paid millions. Much harder to do here (I suspect it's more rife in Spain where your players pay under 30% still I believe?), the tax schemes arsenal and rangers used were illegal and arsenal had to pay a good amount to stop court action. That tax break got abolished years ago, but since it wasn't retroactive some players still enjoy it (Kaká and Cronaldo, for example). It only applied to foreign players. But yeah, lots of cheating at work. Eto'o got done recently for tax evasion during his years in Spain, for example. And I'm sure there would be loads more if they really investigated it. Regarding Barton, do OM know who are they signing? I'd be a bit more hesitant to sign a lucrative contract with a player with his history of issues everywhere he's been. The fact he's a racist violent thug notwithstanding. They should investigate more players, could help to beef up the dry pit that is your countries public finances.

Didn't realise you could drive while banned, possessing cocaine, and end up with a fine and caution. One of the worst people in football for sure.

I'd rather it someone better, but its just refreshing to see him go abroad rather than to another QPR type (and we all know that he would have probably got a half-decent club despite his most recent problems) I think more players should do it. Matt Derbyshire did ok in Greece didn't he and got to play Champions League football, that wouldn't have happened if he stayed home. Ok, I don't think its worked out for him since his return but still. Joe Cole has come out of his French experience on a positive note, he has had playing time and there was even a suggestion he could have made the England squad. But over my life time of watching football too few British players have gone abroad. There have been some real success stories as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
