TicTacWoe 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 We really need him at least for the rest of this season, it's all about the wages though if this is true and he should never have been given such a ludicrous contract in the first place.

Phil 6 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 This storey doesn't add up on every level. Ashley doesn't sell anyone cheap. He buys cheap. Also, Ashley was at the Liverpool game, so wont care about his 60k wages. fwiw, 60k a week is peanuts, we can easily afford 15 players on this salary.

Aren't you the geezer that has problems with his tax returns? Rip off Britain... in debt, thanks "New" Labour... 15 players on 60k a week would give us a wage bill of 46.8m, which seems fine to me.

Closer to 6 million in actuality from the most filthy rich club in history for what would then have been their no.1 keeper in his prime, who by most peoples standards was one of the best shot stoppers in the world.

Aye, good deal that. When you think Craig Gordon had not long gone for what, £10M? to Sunderland? So what price would you expect Man city to pay for one of the most consistent shot stoppers? Mental deal that was. Even Given came out and said they didnt put up a fight to keep him. As for Barton, not sure if he's on about the same thing, but Simpson said on twitter "don't believe everything you read in the papers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, good deal that. Man City only pay over the odds for players they actually want. He wasn't on their radar until his agent touted him out. The club that initiates the transfer always comes off worse. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...-Newcastle.html Some people have a very short memory on how many of our former cr*p players forced a move. 80k a week for an overrated stroppy leprechaun and we have people saying Barton is over paid!

Monkeys Fist 42436 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Interesting little snippet at the end of the Daily Hate article above Mike Ashley's astonishing reign at Newcastle United certainly has more than enough material for a Panorama documentary — especially when you consider Terry Venables’ battles with Alan Sugar at Tottenham were deemed worthy of two Panorama specials. And it’s claimed that Beeb investigators have been asking Newcastle watchers about all aspects of the Ashley regime and whether they’re prepared to be interviewed. But a Panorama spokesman said yesterday there are no plans for a programme on Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) You guys realise Sky Sports football pages used to be known as Planet Football, right? Watch what this link redirects you to... www.planetfootball.com Planet Football was known for always playing host to rumours and skysports.com follow in this tradition. As far as I know SSN and skysports.com use different journos and sources, that's why a lot of these rumours don't get a mention on SSN. Really don't put much trust in what skysports.com have to say to be honest. Teamtalk, Goal, even F365... they're all not adverse to the odd rumour if it gets them extra hits.

Kitman 2207 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 If we must sell him (and I don't want them to), do it in the summer. Selling in Jan would be madness imo. We saw how much weaker the team was when he was suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Can't see him being sold, Pardew has already come out saying he wants to keep him. Nothing here is impossible, but there's not even any financial sense in trying to sell him to reduce wages because we don't really have anything to replace him with, and bringing someone in of that level would cost much more than the rumoured amount that Barton will go for, which will effectively negate the lower wages.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 NEWCASTLE United have absolutely no interest in trying to sell Joey Barton in the January transfer window despite wild reports yesterday he will be available for just £1.5m. Barton only has 18 months left on his contract and is yet to open talks with the club about extending a deal which already earns the midfielder a basic wage well in excess of £50,000 a week. Given the new parsimonious financial climate at St James’ Park, Barton’s wage demands are likely to be a significant stumbling block in future negotiations and this story may well have been an attempt by the player’s advisors to exert early pressure on the club. By drumming up artificial interest in the player from rival top-flight clubs with claims he can be sold in January in a cut-price deal, Barton’s advisors will hope they have a powerful bargaining chip when they meet managing director Derek Llambias in the New Year. Club sources were quick to rubbish the story yesterday following a report on Sky Sports News that he was set to leave and there was also an assurance that the former Manchester City star – who has been a key figure this season – is not for sale at any price next month. These tactics are unlikely to make much of an impact given the stance the Newcastle board have taken over Steven Taylor’s contract demands. An improved offer was made to the centre-back earlier this month, but the talks have broken down for a second time and it seems increasingly likely the homegrown defender will leave on a free transfer in the summer or for a reduced fee in January.

PaddockLad 17257 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Sounds like Mckay wants Barton to move....it'll have been him planting that story on sky yesterday. Bartons probably cool with the situation too. I'd like to know who'd pay a 29 year old injury and suspension prone nutter 60k a week....apart from us like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
