midds Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think Barton's better than going to a club like that for the money tbh. Me too but if the offer comes in... Realistically it'll be his last 'big' contract before he drops down the leagues/retires so a bigger wage just might come into the equation for him? Can't see him being in demand at 33/34 so he needs to get his next contract right from every aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 So you'd imagine staying here where he's loved and wanted by the fans on £50k a week until he's 32, where if he does well he'd be more likely to be given a contract extension even on less than that after giving 8 years service would appeal to him.

Aye, I've already said I think he'll sign his extension. But if he gets the impression that things aren't quite right then he could well see his contract out and chase the money. It's not beyond the realms of possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility. i really can't see anyone topping what he's currently on for a 30yr old joey barton., hence why the stories of the pay cut came out. he may well leave for footballing reasons of for better pay than he's offered here but not more than he's currently on. i'm also lead to believe that he'd still get a signing on payment if he re-signs with us.

Guest Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If Barton wants to go because he doesn't feel we're ambitious enough or whatever then that's fine and his perrogative. If he's squabbling over a year though it's shitty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed we never find out because he'll have signed on for another 2 or 3 years with us. He's a good player and we need to go the extra mile to keep him. I've just got very little faith with the people running the club atm. The know the price of everything and the value of nothing and their priorities are skewed to say the least. I hope he signs, I really do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there are limits. If we offer a decent contract and he turns it down then I hope we don't spit the dummy and flog him. He's worth negotiating with to tie him down.

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If Barton goes then he will just be following the pattern set by Carroll. This is the future folks, any footballer we get a decent offer for will go. Enrique - Ben Arfur - Totti ? Newcastle are a selling club and never mind Chelsea or Man U then Liverpool Villa or Spurs(all clubs we should compete with) will cherry pick our best talent. Mediocrity is the best we can hope for as long as the FCB owns United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 2 years is enough, as brilliant as he has been it's his first consistent run since he arrived, a year ago a lot would have taken anything we could get for him just to get him off the wage bill. 2 years on the speculated £50k a week is a fantastic offer, if he disagrees then we should sell in the summer. Would be very surprised if he got anything near that at a better club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've heard the only two clubs he would play for are us and Everton. What about Manchester City? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 They play 3 workhorses in the middle with 3 mobile forwards, so he won't fit into Mancini's system. I don't think he will fancy a move back to City if all he wants is to 'enjoy playing' and earn a good salary as he is doing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 For some reason I'm fairly confident Barton will sign a new deal. Don't see where all the doom and gloom is coming from. There is absolutely no way we'll let Tiote, Enrique and Barton go in one transfer window. I know Ashley is a cock, but that would be suicidal. love these posts. as if ashley is bothered about anything except money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
