AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Sounds a little bit like Barton is whinging about his own wages as well, I know what he's saying is true but I don't like to hear that stuff from players... does nobody any favours.

Nobody Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think it's brilliant to have a player, who isn't even from the area, that cares so much about the club. He clearly wants us to move forward, just like any of us do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Everyone doubts he will invest the Carroll money back into the squad.. would be great if he would and even add some to it.. show our top players they are not wasting their time here. Sad fact is though, they are wasting their time whilst MA owns this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah, Joey putting putting people like Smith, Owen, Viduka and Martins on ridiculous high wages has helped us to get us into Europe in the past. Also you've only barely started to actually earn your own wages after 3 years on 65k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 We don't know what he's calling 'peanuts' as no one knows what the players are earning. Could be that Williamson and Tiote are on something daft like £10k each. He isn't advocating splashing out on shit like Viduka and Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Are people just stopping reading after the peanuts sentence? Clearly not talking wages ffs It's not clear but it scarcely matters. He has team-mates like Williamson, Simpson, Tiote and Best who were bought for low fees and earn less than him. Whether or not they're as good as him, they've given their best and have each made their contributions. Barton has consistently let the club, his team mates and the fans down by his behaviour on and off the pitch. As a result, we haven't had a particularly good return from all the money that we've invested in him over the last three years. Who the hell is he to be delivering lectures to the owner about how he should spend the club's money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell is he to be delivering lectures to the owner about how he should spend the club's money? Have to say I agree with this. While I agree with Barton that the club should be spending a bit more, he's a highly-privileged employee who has been cut more slack by his employers than could reasonably be expected. He's only just starting to earn his wages, I would hope he would keep these sorts of comments in house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I very much doubt there is players unrest with regards to what Barton has said Williamson will know he was bought cheaply beacause of the Pompey farce. Simpson will know he was picked up cheaply because his deal at MUFC has 6 months left. Bestie will know he was bought cheaply because he came from Coventry. Sol & Loven will know they were cheap because they were out of contract. Tiote will know more than likely will not being reading the paper or the online version of the Daily Star Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It is so blatant from everything we've seen that neither he meant a slight against the likes of Williamson nor that the likes of Williamson will take offence at these comments. Can't believe some of the sentiments. It's obvious he's referring as much to contract renegotiations with the Tiotes and Enriques as anything else. I think it's established that Barton himself is prepared to take a wage cut himself, indeed I think the contract is virtually there to be signed - it's just that recent events have thrown things into a little doubt, as he explained. It's fine to take an unproven, grateful player in on the cheap, but when he's given good service and proven himself to all and sundry, he's due more. It's the culture, it's the way of things, it's the market in action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Strangely enough... Some French Guy, utterly lost in Forest Hall, asked for my help today. Bit confused, I stopped and listened. Apparently he was a reporter for a French Football Magazine, and was looking for Darsley Park! Ah, well, since I'm heading in that generally direction, I'll show you where it is, I replied. So we walked and talked, and I think he did his best to understand me, and he was all set to interview Joey Barton at 1pm. Joey's first interview with a french football magazine! He asked if I liked Barton, I said 'aye'. Asked if I agreed with Barton's comments that he (Barton) was the best English Midfielder. Said, perhaps. Talked a bit about how people perceived Barton and his reputation, mentioned the Diaby tackle as an example. Really interesting. Asked him if he was nervous, he said 'Yes, maybe because he won't understand me, or I won't understand him. Does he have an accent?'. 'Yes. But not as bad as mine." Showed him where the Training Ground was, and wished him good luck. Pretty sure he said the magazine was called 'On Foot', but I can't seem to find anything about it on Google. Ah well.

I know, I don't see any of what he's said can be seen negatively or as if he's insulting anyone. Did you not hear what Nolan said to LFC Tv or whatever it's called? I think he did, but is unsure of the relevance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
