Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

You know, now that he's left and the black-and-white-tinted glasses are off, I'm starting to realize that he really is a despicable, pathetic sort of human being.

 

And that's completely independent from his transfer and how he was screwed over by Team Ashley. Just no longer feel the need to legitimize all the shit that he's done in my head anymore.

I must say Barton has done a brilliant job getting the fans on his side via twitter, PR genius by Wullie McKay

 

Barton is as much to blame on him not getting a new contract as Ashley IMO

 

Nah, that's a failure.  Yes he got a new contract with higher paid, but it is from a shit club which is hotly tipped for relegation. Who knows what will happen if they relegate?  His career has "ended" because there's money left, no achievement nor trophies.  Barton definitely has the quality to get those money in any club, say Villa and Everton.  He didn't.  That's a complete failure. 

 

I bet back in June what Barton think was his performance last season could warrant him a place in any clubs in EPL, and thus by doing so many PR things he could either force the club to give him lucrative contracts, or force the club to sell him on a cheap.  He nearly did it, if Ashley is not that "hardcore", or other clubs didn't share the same view as Ashley.  The fact that only QPR made an offer for Barton is a great, great blow to him, and probably to Willie as well.  Think, even those clubs like Bolton, Blackburn or Wolves didn't inquire him when he is available for free.  This is "unbelievable" to him and to some of us, but that's the truth and it indicates what the people inside the football industry rate him.

 

 

 

That's an interesting way to think about it. Be interesting to see how much he's on at QPR, considering they're pretty flush with their cash at the moment.

This transfer window needs to close quickly or we'll lose Colo as Valencia now definitely have the money to buy him having sold Mata to the Russians. I think we overrate Tiote and there is not that much interest at the moment in buying him. Another good season, where he doesn't get booked every other game, he'll be gone as well.

 

I'll always support the players wearing the shirt, but the club I just hate it and will continue to do so until Ashley sells up.

 

Woah there sausage, hate Ashley not the club, the club was here before and will be here long after Fatty implodes.

 

I love this club more than the wife and kids, more than breathing and more than chocolate hob nobs.

 

Wife I can understand, but kids?!

 

He lost me after Chocolate Hob Nobs.

 

A dastardly chocolate delight, lovely crumbly biscuit with chocolate on top, i'd bum that inventor.

 

:snod:

Joey Barton is moving because QPR is offering him a contract and NUFC isn't. Simple as.

 

But if people want to bury their heads in the sand and blame it on the money AGAIN then go ahead.

 

:sadnod:

 

This is the sad truth :(

 

Gutted that he's going but I guess this situation was inevitable as soon as he was transfer listed. Well done to those c***s, Ashley and Llambias for forcing another one of our key players out :angry: :rant:

 

Ignoring his own words(and McKays) that he had all but agreed a deal hinging on him wanting an extra year, then deciding to call off talks til the summer(and twittergate) aye it was all their doing.........

 

Was going to edit my post saying that Barton should share some of the blame too for his Twitter ramblings, obviously I'm too late to do so :razz:

 

Deciding to free transfer one of your better players because of his twitter ramblings is akin to me killing your wife and kids because you stepped on my toe.

I do wonder how much the other players like/dislike him, or what the general feeling about him is in the squad.

 

Pretty sure Cabaye came out recently and named only Barton when referencing how the other lads had been since he'd arrived. He was only positive about him.

 

Simpson named him and Tavernier said he was his mentor.

Don't want to leave Newcastle........I've made that clear but my hands are tied.

Hmmmm....

 

:undecided: :(

 

For someone with tied hands, he's doing pretty well at picking up a pen and signing a contract.

Can someone explain why this is all the boards fault? Not being funny or anything, just not sure what they should have done?

Stop being a bunch of cunts maybe?

Barton is hardly blameless though. His Twitter touched Ashley's nerve - it's the whole "don't post stuff about your employer" argument again really.

 

To clarify I do mainly blame the c***s from above.

Such a moronic stance to take. Imagine yourself in his position. He's clearly not wanted here and has received a decent offer from QPR.

 

Is it not possible that he does want to stay, but realises he needs to do what is best for him in the long-term?

Have to say, even though weve been braced for this for a good while now, its still upsetting. genuinely thought we would hold out and keep him for the season.

 

What a shit move for him though, like. suppose he can continue to he the big man, leading his 'inferiors' into battle. No denying that ego will get a good shining from that perspective.

How long before he comes out trying to take the captain's armband away from Taarabt?

 

And how awesome would a fight between those two be :lol:

I thought it was pretty impressive that he still wanted to stay and wanted to play in the games and did attent training despite he not even had to.

 

Despite the club not wanting him anymore.

I blame the c***s too, but Joey and his agent shoulder some of the blame too, not too much but enough to make it significant.

When has he ever stated that he wanted to be captain in his time here?
