As with any player like Barton, the question was asked as soon as he came to the club "Is he worth putting up with?". Unfortunately for us that never looked like being close to the case. Maybe this will give Joey the chance to retire from football and prove himself as one of the greatest minds of the 21st century. Or he might move to Marseille and prove that language is no barrier in proving what an arse he is. I know what my money's on!
