some promise here.

 

I read the title as the article isn't loading and just imagined that Joey has a limited edition shirt covered in glitter

 

here you are fella...

ALAN PARDEW is confident Joey Barton can produce another sparkling season in the Premier League – and in a Newcastle shirt.

Barton does not feel he will be offered a new deal with the Magpies and that much was confirmed by his agent Willy McKay at the end of the season.

The Scouse midfielder dismissed talk on Twitter that he is in talks over a new contract, and Pardew has confirmed to the Chronicle that nothing has been arranged on that score.

No side have made a bid or a single enquiry about Barton’s availability, but United rate the former Manchester City man at the £4m mark.

And, given Barton’s fantastic displays in black-and-white last season, Pardew revealed today he is enthusiastic about the part the 28-year-old can play next season.

He said: “I have spoken to Joey over the summer. Unfortunately at the moment there is no new contract for him.

“He has a year remaining and I think he will stay for that year.


“My view of it is quite open-ended.

“I think, like a lot of players, that yearly term contracts in the Premier League are going to be the norm.

“But who is to say that in a year’s time that Joey gets a contract that he finds acceptable?”

Barton will link up with his Toon team-mates on Monday for the first day of pre-season training.

And Pardew feels he can not only match the form that won him the Chronicle’s player of the season award – as voted by the supporters – but go one better.

“I am hoping he will play better than last year, I don’t see why he shouldn’t,” he added.

“He really had a fantastic season last year.”

 

keep it quiet lads n lasses but he is going to liverpool next year on a free... this comes from good info

 

cwarr07?

 

surely not that reliable mate.

 

Why would an evertonian goto liverpool?

 

Cara did look at him now

 

A lot can happen in a year or even a season, so why hang around and go on a free when it can so easily colapse around his ears????

Not saying it's not feasible, just a bit risky don't you think?

 

what i was told its to link up with andy carrol again

 

True, but doubtful with Barton. Also didn't Carragher get grabbed by liverpool early on?

 

it happens a lot in football. to be fair if i was a footballer, i wouldnt be so narrow minded. if a club as big as liverpool wanted my services and i was an evertonian as a kid, i would take it seriously. at the end of the day its a big club on the rise again. probably a big wage coming my way and the grand possibilities of silverware and european football.

only a mug would think otherwise.

 

But why wait a season to see out a contract? Liverpool have the cash so why hang on?

Just seems an odd thing to do.

 

Joey likes Boyzone...

 

True, Fowler, Owen and Rush were evertonians too and they went, but then again Owen would play for anyone if they offered him enough money. I just don't see Barton going to liverpool.

Massive signing on fee if he's a free agent.

Ahh so it's a huge signing on fee and a boyzone ticket, makes sense now

 

it's nonsense.

barton will probably play out his contract. he might still be offered another. if not, he'll leave on a free. no reason beyond the questionably motivated musing of our mackem friend to think that he has any particular destiantion in mind
