Cajun Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 2 years is enough, as brilliant as he has been it's his first consistent run since he arrived, a year ago a lot would have taken anything we could get for him just to get him off the wage bill. 2 years on the speculated £50k a week is a fantastic offer, if he disagrees then we should sell in the summer. Would be very surprised if he got anything near that at a better club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've heard the only two clubs he would play for are us and Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've heard the only two clubs he would play for are us and Everton. What about Manchester City? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 They play 3 workhorses in the middle with 3 mobile forwards, so he won't fit into Mancini's system. I don't think he will fancy a move back to City if all he wants is to 'enjoy playing' and earn a good salary as he is doing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 BTW, Man City resigning Barton is surely mental. They'll be looking at the world's best young midfield talent, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nobody didnt suggest anything of the sort, he was replying to the post regarding the only clubs Barton would play for and included his previous club as it wasnt mentioned.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 No way will he sign for city. His bridges there are burned. I would however have him in instead of Barry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 For some reason I'm fairly confident Barton will sign a new deal. Don't see where all the doom and gloom is coming from. There is absolutely no way we'll let Tiote, Enrique and Barton go in one transfer window. I know Ashley is a cock, but that would be suicidal. love these posts. as if ashley is bothered about anything except money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Man, can't believe we're still having this meta-debate about people's opinions rather than the actual issues. FWIW, I do accept that Ashley cares more about financial results than on the pitch results. I've posted a load of times that 'ambition' we show will have to be within the limits of his financial constraints. All I'm suggesting is that financial results and on the pitch results can't really be separated to that great an extent. So selling all our decent players in one window isn't a good idea financially. And we've never done it before, so I don't see any reason to believe it will happen now. Anyway, fuck it, I'm obviously never going to persuade anyone that Mike Ashley is out to do anything other than asset-strip NUFC and pocket all of his massive profits, before running off cackling and investing it all in Tottenham. I know he's basically incompetent and has made many mistakes. I've never denied that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's basically incompetent and has made many mistakes. I've never denied that. that's all fair enough man. my point though is that your post seems to be based upon reason, football based reason. saying getting rid of enrique, tiote and barton in one window would be suicide has to be based on footballing reason, because those players leaving would generate money in fees and us not paying their future wages. whether that would lead us into a downward spiral ending up in relegation and further loss of money is a separate debate. what i'm saying is, given what ashley's done in his time here, i think its reasonable to expect him to make the decision based on bank balance every single time, whether it be deemed by anyone else as football suicide or not. as far as i can see he's happy to keep us in the league because he nows we'll keep going and we'll keep getting the tv money, its a nice little earner and he gets his sports direct advertising which was the whole point anyway. he just got a little bit carried away with the whole keegan thing but he quickly remembered why he was here.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm pretty sure Ashley didn't buy NUFC to get free advertising for Sports Direct! £300m or whatever he's put in is a lot for a few billboards and a sign on the roof. He could probably have hired every advertising board in the Premier League for that money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
