At £5k a week. He'll be off to the first Prem team to make him an offer (probably Watford if any) unless we make him manager.Barton gave his all to the end. I hope he is given a new contract.

He might have to stay with us then, on vastly reduced dosh and in a brand new team. Do we really think Barton is the role model we want for young players?I wonder about that. Joey's great when he's leading but he's not the type to fit in low down the pecking order. He may not be what a newly promoted and settled team wants to buy.

His behaviour this season has improved (less of the red mist, just one red card that I remember) and no one can question his application. If there's been any problem in the dressing room this season, it doesn't stem from Joey - more our French speaking contingent is my guess

Yeah you're right. Better just kick him out, rather than make him sad. I am paid a lot more than the national average, yet Barton has 'earned' about £14m from us over 4 years, including a year spent slagging us off fom France, multiple times what I will earn in my lifetime. I really couldn't give a **** about his motivation. I'll settle for £5k a week too.Imagine the great motivation for the player: going from 70 to 5k a week.....
Why do you write it at all if you don't know for sure. How many of our Squad speak do you guess speak French? Joey probably does a bit for one.I didn't feel I needed to put it in capitals!
