David28 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't blame him for going. Massive risk for his career mind, less so than Nolan but still the pair of them hardly look like ambitious players. Barton didn't look ambitous? Have a word. How did he look ambitious? He's gone from a team who play in front of 45-50k each week, to one that struggles to fill an 18k stadium. One that has barely made the back pages, despite being owned by two of the world's richest men for the past few seasons. He wasn't wanted here anymore. He still hasn't signed the contract there. We'll see but, if he signs there, it won't be because they're better club than we are, but because they have an owner who isn't totally stupid. if they give him 100k a week then I am going to call him stupid They haven't, have they?

Joey will be 34 by then, so no, not then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 No way Barton can be classed as ambitious in a footballing sense now like. He wanted a payday and he's took it, I cannot blame him for it, but his footballing career at the top is effectively over unless he manages to win another move.

Foluwashola Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Who gives a fuck if he's shown no ambition, man? How exactly could he have shown ambition? He had the choice of staying at a club that didn't want him or moving to a lesser club. The big teams were never going to come in for him, this doesn't mean getting rid is somehow a stroke of genius. Some may take pleasure from watching Joey get relegated this season, but nothing positive has came out of this saga for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely have to go out and spend money on a replacement in the few days we have left. Not going to be easy and leaving business this late guarantees having to pay a premium. Of course we probably won't even be looking for a replacement knowing the dicks who run this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teohgk Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 the money thing again ,i wonder how many 1st team players the club needed to sell to make some finally realize that it's not the player's fault that they leaving the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Seriously though, when people see Barton getting £80k a week for 3-years, and Nolan getting £55k a week for 5 years, can you: a) Blame the club for not matching. b) Blame the player for not turning it down.

Some may take pleasure from watching Joey get relegated this season, but nothing positive has came out of this saga for NUFC. Spot on. Barton's kicking off about a new contract now because he's just come off the back off a good season (just like Nolan did). He talked about being one of the best midfielders in England last season after doing nothing for his first 3 years in Newcastle. If he was genuinely ambitious, he would be confident enough to know that he can continue to perform at the same level this season and be in a MUCH stronger position to renegotiate a new deal with NUFC (by Xmas) or with another team next June. That's how Barton shows his ambition. Not by piddling off to some newly promoted team at the first sign of $$$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyones said it was genius, so you're arguing with no one on that. I'd love him to stay, but I'm not going to cry if he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he bang on about ambition then go to whatever club offers him a silly contract? Shouldn't play the 'salt of the earth, mans man footballer' then act like all the twats he pretends he isn't.
