cp40 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Newcastle manager Alan Pardew would be reluctant to lose Barton but cash plus his former West Ham charge Reo-Coker may prove persuasive. Nee f***ing chance. Why the f*** would we sell Barton and get him, nowhere near as good as Joey. Obviously bullshit. Why would we sack Chris and replace him with a manager with a worse record. With this club (regime) you never know. This window- could have a huge bearing on where the club is headed. just cant help feelig Ashley is too willing to throw away long term prospects for a fast $$$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd take Reo-Coker like. Not in a swap deal obviously. Former Wimbledon player too, so he'll be best mates with Ashley no doubt! He's had decent industry about him last time I saw him player, which feels like FOREVER ago now, which wouldn't a miss in our midfield at the moment. Just hope the lack of regularly football hasn't totally stalled his development/confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Any CM who can actually use his legs to move faster than a snail is someone we should be looking at. Ideally with one of our shite ones going out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/11/joey-barton-newcastle-aston-villa Aston Villa put off by Joey Barton wage demands and Newcastle price tag • Newcastle thought to want £6m for 29-year-old midfielder • Gérard Houllier keen on player but wage bill a problem * Stuart James * guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 11 January 2011 18.10 GMT Aston Villa appear unlikely to sign Joey Barton after being put off by the player's wage demands and Newcastle United's asking price. Gérard Houllier was keen on bringing Barton to Anfield during his time in charge of Liverpool and has revived his interest in the midfielder since taking over at Villa. Barton, however, is earning £67,000 per week at St James' Park and it is also understood that Newcastle would want £6m for a player who will turn 29 later this year. With Paul Faulkner, Villa's chief executive, eager to reduce the Midlands club's wage bill after it climbed to £71m in the last set of accounts, there appears little prospect of a deal taking place. Barton has previously suggested he would be happy to remain at Newcastle but he has less than 18 months remaining on his contract and there is no chance of Mike Ashley, the club's owner, sanctioning a new deal on similar terms. West Ham expressed interest in the former Manchester City player but they also felt the financial package was beyond them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So the fee have gone from £1.5mill to £6mill in a couple of weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Even if his contract is running down he's worth more than £6m to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Massive importance on him on Sunday now. Going to have to do a disciplined job alongside Nolan no doubt and his set-pieces are going to have to be spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 6m is much more reasonable. Still a def-no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If I could pick one person to score a winner against them it would be Barton just for how much they hate him and how much it would wind them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I wonder what sort of deal he will be offered? Probably worth giving him a few bob extra because he's a genuine leader on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Brilliant. Enrique next and that's us sorted for the next 3-4 seasons in terms of the main core of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Deserves a new deal like, top class this season. Definitely deserves a new deal based on this season, although we've paid him a fortune for doing nothing for a few years so hopefully he'll show some respect and restraint in his dealings over a new contract. Really hope Pardew doesn't ever try to play him on the left wing again like last week, the only reason we would want him out wide is because he's a good crosser of the ball, but on his right foot only.

TRon Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would never have dreamed I would be saying this a year ago but Barton epitomises what you need to be a successful Newcastle player. Big match temperament and talent. Shame he's not a yard quicker but then Gerrard wouldn't be an England player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Will be interested to see how much we're offering. Would be surprised if it's the same as what he's currently on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great news..... He only played well this season out of the past three seasons but still it will save us millions if we lost him for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
