Wow.

Wasn't expecting that. I suspect the Newcastle fans are not happy with Mike Ashley at the moment. Newcastle need the new players they brought to gel or they could have a difficult season coming up.

I'm really surprised by this.

 

Nile Ranger has just layed into them as well, check his tweets. Seems it is very unstable there at the moment. Enrique also livened up a week or so back.

 

Man United? You're having a laugh right?

He was rejected by Newcastle, why would Man U want him?

 

United.! because since the time of Roy Keane they have not have hard man, so they need Joey Barton.

 

From what I've heard, NUFC fans are annoyed that he made a whole lot of drama seemingly out of nowhere by bashing the owners through twitter. He apparently was trying to get the fans on his side with his contract.

 

Because you took Michael Owen and Barton's more useful?

 

Joey Barton and Man United would be a perfect match...scum player at a scum club.They should also put in a bid for El Hadji Diouf,he's also scum.

 

Strange move.

Must of had another bust up. Will be a steel if someone like QPR/Norwich got him.

 

You do realize you responded to ze liverbird... Right? But Barton also said earlier that it was an honor to have interest from man u, but he wants to finish out his contract at Newcastle... Of course, now that he has no contract...

 

its reported hes going to everton if newcastle agree to being paid in instalments

 

I missed the joke the first time at me

 

I here KD has offer Newcastle £20M for him, even thought he is in a free

 

lol. He'd do well at United. Fit in with the other c....

 

Are you posting on an Iphone or are you african?

 

Having a blonde day

Cant be African, as KPR says we are all from China

 

.....And those of you who missed the boat.

 

Id sign him, cos hes a very good player,and free..regardless of earned reputation

Dont be surprised if Arsenal,Liverpool,United and Spurs all show interest

 

I love his die hard attitude. His not scum, I disagree. Chris Hughton seemed to get the best out of him and with Nolan and Carroll he worked well and was an asset to Newcastle.

I wouldn't mind him as a backup to Lucas, then we could loan out Jay Spearing with no worries.

KK would get the best out of him and his commitment stands out for me. Yes he has problems off the field but its something I mentioned before, character. Suarez has it, Carroll has it and so does Barton.

I haven't lost any respect for him because of his Newcastle 'outburst' because so did Enrique critize the Newcastle board, and we can't blame them. They're letting players like Barton, Enrique, Carroll and Nolan leave and its ruining the club.
