thomas Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Are these comments being overlooked? "We had a good player, Carroll, and we sold him. I told the management that I was worried, that I was scared this might happen every year. But they assured me they don't want to go down that road." Barton, however, was not entirely convinced by the talks and is urging Newcastle to act by tying their leading players to new deals. "I don't know if I believe them," he said. "I told them I might stay this summer because we have some good players and money to spend. But I'm going to wait and see if players like Kevin Nolan, Cheick Tioté and Jose Enrique stay. "If Nolan signs a new deal, I will as well. But I hope the club step things up. I want to be ambitious and I think the club share that desire." Like an assurance from Ronald McDonald on leaving him to look after your pet cow. Clowns aren't farmers sure, but I don't know what you're getting at.

Guest icemanblue Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 It's all complete crap. He doesn't want to play for England and is making sure that he doesn't get picked for any future squads. He'd much rather be a big fish in a small pool and I don't think he'd find it easy to fit into an England squad and handle those relationships. As for the club, he'd rather see out his contract on his current huge wage and then see what his options are. As with Owen in the last year of his contract, he sees no advantage in signing up now to a lower contract. He has every right to make that stand but why the accompanying BS. The problem seems to be changing all the time - now he's not going to sign unless his mate Kevin gets a new contract as well. Ridiculous. Where's that come from? Maybe there's no hidden masterplan in Joey's mind, and I'm doing him an injustice on that point. But I do think he finds decisions difficult, and all this public parading of his dilemma is part of it. When it came to leaving Man City, there were all kinds of histrionics before it all went through. A lot of his statements - and I'm talking about what he was quoted as saying in his talk in as well - are lacking in any consistency or coherence. He's presenting as confident and in control over his own destiny, and then he's saying things that completely run against that. (eg saying you want to play for England and then saying things that will ensure that that doesn't happen) 'I'll sign if Kevin signs' - a complete relinquishing of responsibility for the decision. I can see where you're coming from, mate. But, I think you're looking into things a bit too much. Bear in mind, as well, that these latest comments were made up to a couple of months ago now.

TRon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Barton's right in that there aren't many English midfielders with real creative ability, a lot of them are just runners who score goals. Technique wise Barton is streets ahead of the majority in this country. He's an idiot though, because if there was a chance of him getting called up he's booted it into touch with his slagging of current England stars.

ponsaelius Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Bit of a pointless comparison, they've both played different positions this season. Anyway, you only need to watch the two of them play to realise that Barton is a categorically better footballer than Barry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't. I always knew he was quality and wasnt getting the run in the team, whether it be through injuries or his own fault. His quality has always been there.
