He surely isn't on that much, he wasn't a bosman, and you signed him when few clubs would touch him. Wasn't he supposedly after 50k a week? Considering how influential he is to the team, he's worth that. ã8-10 million plus wages to even think about a replacement. I'd take him in a blink.
You seriously think fat Mike won't take the cash if someone comes in mate? He will, you know he will.
I think you'll look at a young unpolished player who you can utilise for the next five years. Ashley seems to love these five year contracts he's throwing around. I couldn't name a winger who's had a better season in Europe who'd be cheaper but then I'm not one of your scouts. I'm sure you'll have someone in mind to replace him. You wouldn't just get rid without replacing your star man. You're not Steve Bruce.
Don't want him, Barton's tash would have to convert macken. I could not handle his 20 article's of ****e a day.
Nothing will happen, he's on his way. You know the club will not give him what he wants so time to say bye bye Joey.
He still has another season left though but you would still have to question his committment for the coming season, although he may play out of his skin to get a move in January. Bad move by the Toon hierachy though, unless they have a replacement in mind??
I expected someone to post it on your board. Could be worse but where the **** have you got those names from. Enrique looks like he's going but nothings confirmed, Barton we still don't really know anything about, Collo was linked with someone once and nothing about Tiote lol. Still, don't mind the laughs, i just had to think what we'd be like if you lost someone that good
Not a lot you can do about agents using the media to up the ante. I suspect even fatty may make some more effort to keep him.Players wage demands are a ****ing ticking time-bomb.
It's only been 'stated' by his agent with no confirmation from the club. I have a very low opinion on agents as they tend to be devious lying scum bags.
Most clubs are sick of players not being loyal. I think Barton has given everything for the Toon. Cant understand this.
Not re-signing Barton would be stupid, even by Fat Mike's standards, which are pretty bad TBH. He's settled, he's playing well and he's on a good screw. What's there for him and NUFC not to like?
