Calm down Attitude fitness and goals make him a very attractive proposition regardless of who he plays against Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Pre-season won't change the opinion of other teams about him. If they were to bid 5 mio for him than it won't be because of pre-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begbie Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sign up Joey Barton ffs. He is 28(29 in sept) and imo he will last another 3-4 good years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I find it crazy, its not like he will be a donkey by then and also we could get a mill or so for him from a say newly promoted club when he has a year or so left on his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All reports have them on the same wages, god only knows how you can try and add £20K to Smith's. By your logic if Barton stays to pick up the last 2 years of his next deal while not being picked will he become a greedy bastard as well by default?

Both have 1 year left, my point was if Joey signed a 5 year deal now and he sat in the stands taking our money for the final 2 would you call him a greedy bastard? No way on earth is Smith on 80k man, theres a massive diference between the club wanting Smiths deal to end and Joey getting an extension, you reckon he would take a lower wage without extra years on top as thats the only way you can use it in this case?

Smith has been told to find a club we all know he won't he has no interest is leaving... I would not give Joey 5 years, 4 yes.. then we have him for 3 and maybe can get a little cash back. I think as a player Joey would rather be playing than do a Smith and just hang around not getting games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as a player Joey would rather be playing than do a Smith and just hang around not getting games. Smith is doing nothing different to Barton in this case, he knows he is backup as he has been for about 18 months(when fit) so is simply doing the job asked of him. As for getting cash for Barton when he is 32, how many offers have we actually had now never mind in 3 years? Barton isnt daft, he knows he wouldnt get anywhere near the wages he is on now(and possibly even with his wage cut) anywhere else unless he is a free transfer. He should have took the 3 years and proven he deserves more if he really cared after the amount of wasted money in him most of his time here. He even refused to take a paycut in prison according to reports at the time yet Smith is a greedy bastard for daring to (wrongly) think he is still a PL footballer. Good professional but a poor player, thats it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 You may be right, but I just see Joey as a more straight forward want to play football kind of lad... Not many players would stay at a club after being told they are not wanted, Smith has no interest in playing football any more he just wants his wages. You think if we told Joey to find another club he would just be happy to stay and not play ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must know that his decision could have left him in limbo(especially after his little outbursts) so yes he probably would for 12 months if it happened. It wont as we are shorthanded as it is.

Barton will plat lots of games for us this season, Smith will be lucky to make the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
