Deano 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Its lookin that way craig....not good at all. Some can call me up on wantin to be positive, its just the way i am. In all honesty though this has really fucked me off though. I dont get it at all. I just hope that all this streamlining and getting wages brought down as well as not spending much is lining us up to be sold in the near future. Probably clutching at straws now though. Kitman...Fuck off man....Just saying what looks likely to be our midfield for our first game. That said....I fully expect Tiote and Jose to put transfer requests in now. Possibly even Jonas, Coloccini and Barfa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I know what you're saying but in previous situations such as this, it's always been a 'mutual decision' between player and club and therefore in everyone's interests to strike a deal. Barton clearly didn't want to go and as a result, I cannot see him accepting a penny less than he'd have earned if he was still here. I honestly wouldn't put it past Ashley to be absolutely short-sighted and think "well, it'll not cost me any more and I don't want the wanker connected with the club any more". As Stevie put it he's a fucking megalomaniac. It's his club and he's making damned sure he's proving that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Llambias are peas in a pod. Smirking egomaniacal twats. We should be looking to get value for Barton at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartons tweeted that he wouldn't go for a fee, but was willing to see out his contract or go for free now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ...so surely it was in the club's best interests to get another season out of a player who was a class apart last season? It still makes no sense whatsoever to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 There's just no need for half the debacles they've caused. Keegan didn't have to be misled. Hughton didn't have to be sacked. Carroll didn't have to be sold if we weren't ever going to spend even half the money we made on him. Nolan didn't have to be lied to. Barton didn't have to be forced out. Their incompetence is limitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 We really have got fucking up down to a fine art now haven't we. Why any of us are surprised by this any more is completely beyond me. The one result we know in all of this is that we now don't have a right midfielder so that's another signing we need but won't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The underlying issue here is that it's between being sold and being given a free. Why the fuck is the removal of Joey Barton from the NUFC payroll even been under discussion? Seriously?

Players either have balance sheet value, or they are a drain on resources. Football doesn't come into it.

bawan 0 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 What a load of bollocks they have turned this football club into. I hope Barton goes to Arsenal, but I can see him ending up at Villa or even West Ham. I hope when/if he plays against us he shows the owners what they really gave away. No one can say he doesn't have an attitude problem etc but what he gives on the pitch is not something you can replace. Just got a season ticket, seriously considering addressing it to Mike Ashley and telling him were to shove it. 35million to spend, and as far as am concerned we haven't spent a penny of it yet.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Pissed me right off this has. Fuckin idiots. They really had a chance to build on last season, summer started well with a few promising signings and now its slipping back into the fuckin same old shit. Its gonna take a pretty BIG QUALITY signing to make up for this shit. Barton is no angel though, i do like him and i like his honesty but if you openly go about criticising your employer no matter how shit they are you are gonna get fuckin pedalled like. From the clubs point of view though....FREE TRANSFER?!? What the fuck!? I can only think the club want his 75k pw wage off the book and his outspoken attitude out the dressing room. Midfield for Arsenal now then... Marveaux---Tiote---Cabaye---Jonas Wheres there options off the bench now then? Of course you are. How anyone could think they would keep Barton for another year while he is slagging them off on twitter is ridiculous. Re Arsenal midfield I would guess at... Gosling Tiote Cbaye Marveaux Although at the end of the day its the strikers we need sorting and from all accounts, Ba isnt setting pre season alight just yet.

Because he's on high wages. No-one over 27 will get a contract for 50k+ a week. Total stupidity as a football decision. In line with all his other 'business' decisions at the club though.

Craig 6682 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The longer his steadfast backing of Ashley goes on, the more I reckon CT is either employed by the club or Thomson House. There's no fucking way on earth a cabbie could post as much as he does and still earn a crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
