AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If he wanted security and to be settled, why would he uproot himself to London after 4 years in the North East? Because as it stands he isn't getting a new contract so he will have to do that anyway after 5 years, his two choices are move now on a 5 year contract with someone else, or stay and hope for a new contract here, with Ashley in charge that isn't happening, he doesn't really have a choice tbf. Or stay for that year on his current generous contract (something he is contracted to do), then get that 5 year contract with someone else. That's my point though, he can only get a contract with someone else next season if he doesn't have a career-ending injury before then. Why should he wait? He has the chance to secure his future now.

True but if the Q.P.R contract is there he has to weigh it up doesn't he, like someone pointed out what if he gets injured between now and the end of the season if he stayed with us, i think he would get a club easily if he stayed but if the Q.P.R offer is silly money, he just has to take it, he would be daft not to, another club showing more ambition than us money wise is how it be played out, i can see that reason coming a mile off.

Memphis Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 At this stage, seems to me that it's quite likely he's going to take the money at QPR. He's a free agent, he's looking for security, he's going to be offered ludicrous wages, why not do as his mate Kevin Nolan did and go to a smaller London club? Both of them have gotten to the stage of their careers where they know this is likely the last major deal either will sign and they want to make it count. Fair play to them. The lack of foresight from the club, however, is unforgivable. The lack of awareness that the price of doing business has gone up substantially since clubs know we now desperately need replacements and we have money is criminal, however. Letting Barton and Nolan go is understandable if there's a plan. Since there isn't, it's insanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dover Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Problem is that Barton does all the talking on the pitch (aswell as off it), cant see a leader anywhere else in the squad. Doubt we will replace him either at this stage. All round doesnt make sense, at least keep him until the end of his contract, and I would think Joey would want to do that aswell.

LionOfGosforth Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Urghh, I hate these owners. Amazing how it seems like after every good result on the pitch, there's some crappy news just waiting to break in the background. They never seem to follow up with something good in the offing, like a deal agreed with a good player in a position of need. Nah, we'll just give away another one. Just once, it would be nice.

Fine, you've justified his reason for breaking his contract and buggering off. Don't expect me to be happy with him for that though. QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given my reasons in this thread and others countless times but they aren't very popular.
