Guest firetotheworks Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Can we bring Routledge back btw? It was daft letting him go in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Was told today the delay in the contract is all over the time. Joey wants 3 years, club offering 2. FFS if that's right they should give him the 3 years. Its a no-brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I wouldn't be against giving him 3 years, it doesn't really matter. But TBF he has only been good for us for a small percentage of the time we've been paying his wages, so you could equally argue that he should be grateful for whatever he's offered.

Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 He was a massive miss today, not quite as missed as Tiote is when not playing but close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hope he signs. Losing Enrique will be far less hurtful if don't lose Barton too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 As I understand it, the reduced wage, 2 year contract would come into effect after his current contract ends in Summer 2012 so effectively he would have 3 years from the end of this season. He's 28 now (29 in September) so the new contract will end when he's 31 (3 months off 32). I wouldn't offer him a longer contract than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been brilliant this season, one of our best players but he was a write off before that and there's nothing to say that won't happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I agree with Cajun cause I didn't have a good word to say about him till this season. Don't agree with the hitting 31 nonsense. It's the usual stuff peddled and often by managers as well that players turn s*** at 30. Tell Alex Ferguson that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the usual stuff peddled and often by managers as well that players turn s*** at 30. Tell Alex Ferguson that. My point was that I wouldn't give him a 3, 4 or 5 year contract now. If he's still playing well at 31 (and 9 months) offer him a new contract then. If he goes off the boil we don't want to be stuck with him on a big contract for multiple years.

Guest Chubby Jason Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 3 years is an awful long time to give someone a volatile as Barton. He's been here about 3 years now & has spent most of it injured, suspended or in jail. He's having a good season now but is always capable of doing something thick.

It's the usual stuff peddled and often by managers as well that players turn s*** at 30. Tell Alex Ferguson that. It's not that the players decline that quickly or stop being good at this age. The problem is that players who experience injury or lack of form at this stage of their careers are much less likely to recover. It would be a very different situation if HBA was Barton's age.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Two years is fair IMO. Based on his age and what he has done over the course of his tenure, it is more than fair however He knows that he can get a better contract at the likes of Birmingham, Villa and West Ham (should they stay up) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, the 2 year contract kicks in at the end of his current contract which ends in Summer 2012. Is another club really going to buy him off NUFC this Summer and give him a 3 or more year contract on more money than NUFC pay him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 We should compromise, give him two years with some sort of appearance/fitness/performance clause in for a third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 yeah but Barton probably want three years because he want to be garanteed money even if he isn´t good enough. If he is just half as good as now he would get a new contract after the new two years contract, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I can see joey losing this battle! Nobody knows exactly but the hold up seems to be the contract length. For someone so confident in his ability put why not put his money where his mouth is and play well enough the next 2 years to earn an extension!

80 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The question is why he's chosen to publicise these rumours. Or make them up, if there really weren't any seeing I can't see what he could have been aware of that none of us have known about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
