in the interest of annoying newcastle fans, yes, in the interest of we've already got one nutcase called clattermole, may cause backroom problems so no
Good player, should easily be in the England squad, I'd take him he'd bring steel and quality to a team but as Dorset says no chance.
Barton is nothing but a twat who should have been kicked out of fotball, but somehow signed for the one team who whose twatty fans would except his twatty behaviour.
Sky Sports sources understand Newcastle United have no plans to offload midfield star Joey Barton for £1million. It had been claimed that the Magpies were prepared to listen to cut-price offers for the midfielder, who will see his contract expire next summer. Barton has been prepared to discuss his future over recent weeks, airing his disappointment at not being offered fresh terms on Tyneside. He has made it clear that his preference would be to remain at St James' Park, having thoroughly enjoyed his four years in the North East. The 28-year-old is, however, aware that Newcastle will have the final say when it comes to ushering him towards the exit. It is understood that no bids have been lodged as yet, but reports on Sunday suggested that the Magpies were open to offers. Newcastle have now moved to play down those rumours, insisting that they have no plans to part with Barton. The Magpies are believed to have placed a £4million price tag on Barton to his interested suitors Ok 1m is a joke, but for 4m is he worth it? Still a big yes from me.
Yes ... Definitely worth that price. I can't see him playing for Newcastle next season, be interesting to see how/if he is accepted outside of the North East.
