wormy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I can't work out what this means. Are they going to resist offers for him non-stop? Or will they give in? Dreading January... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Losing Barton and not finding a suitable replacement means relegation. His wages obviously we could do without and he's still clearly a liability, but there's no way we could get someone with his talent for whatever fee we get for him IMO. It's not like we'll be spending additional money on a superior replacement. It's just typical to think of him being here all this time doing fuck all and then as soon as he starts earning his wages, we sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If we are clever we should be able to replace him at half cost in wages. But smith must go before any offer for Barton is considered. Bogof? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We need to keep every player this season. Yes, even Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If we lose Barton and Carroll in January that's me finished. my guess is it'll be in the summer when they can get maximum fees for them+the hughton/pardew anger's died down a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looking at Pardews West Ham signings/sales its clear he was mostly bringing in short term fixes and selling anything worth a few quid. Hardly a shock to see why Ashley found him a perfect choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The rumours about Hughton being too close to the high earners looks like it could be true. Smith, Nolan, Barton & Colo could be out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Jesus christ. We may as well accept that we are doomed. I would just love to know how, in the mind of Mike Ashley, relegation and selling our best players is good business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with jose, guti and possibly Carrol FYP TBF, only Jose Enrique and Andy Carroll are irreplaceable, the rest of them can go at the right price. Obviously there are some you'd like to keep but for example rumours suggest Liverpool are after Jonas for £8m... ..who wouldn't take that? Now could be a good time for a fire-sale.

Ash Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Some seriously funny over-reactions on here. We turn down an enquiry, so that means we're going to sell him? I know people are generally a little down at the moment but everyone seems to be looking for things that aren't there. Start worrying if we accept an offer.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 To replace Barton you in effect need a new central midfielder and a new right sided midfielder. The thought of going half a season knowing Routledge, Guthrie and/or Smith will get plenty of game time is depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Guthrie is finished here either while Routledge could shine again for a bit under a new manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake your heed man, we wouldn't be where we are without these players they have got us here not ashley or pardrew. We have a super thin squad and people are happy to see ?millions feed into ashley and not the squad from outgoing sales Do you think we will spend 50% of the money we get from sales ?

So do I and I think we'd be right to sell him for the right price. Troubled lad with massive amounts of baggage, has had one half of a decent season since joining us, nearing the end of his contract while his age not being great and being on a reported £3m a year, makes sense to me. We need him right now but long term I think we could do better for what we pay him in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
