The Future of Joey Barton

The Future of Joey Barton

After his latest act of thuggery, do you think Man city will let him go??

Someone will buy him - he's available for 5.5 m and he's a solid premiership midfielder. Not quite England class, but he'd add something to most EPL sides. He's obviously a bit of a nutcase, but a good mananger - which Stuart Pearce clearly is not - should be able to handle him.

I reckon seeing as Reading are probably going to lose Sidwell that Reading should target Barton as there 1 big signing. I hope Reading keep there squad cause Wigan got rid of most of there good players thinking they could get better ones which didn't happen.

If I was Steve Coppell, which I probably won't ever be, I really would move heaven and earth to keep Sidwell. Class act and can't be far off an England call. Silly me, for a second there I forgot who's in charge of England. Titus Bramble has a better chance...

Hes been trying to get him to stay all season but it doesn't look good thats why a good replacement would be Barton. Titus Bramble my friend thinks hes better than Nemanja Vidic and he thinks Jean Alain Bousong is better aswel. I nearly fell off my seat when he said that to me.

we've all made a few mistakes...Joeys made his share, maybe now it'll be easy riding for the club which ends up with him now (i think City has had enough)

i think those who have been speculating he'll end up at everton (seems like most of the media) are forgetting a few things, 1) he grew up as a l-pool supporter 2) he nearly beat up a child in a hotel [an everton supporter] 3) didnt he lose 8 weeks wages for dropping his shorts at the everton crowd?

im sure he'd be looking at trying to get into ANY other prem club than everton...he is quality, yes he's an angry guy who f***s up alot but he has talent, someone will buy him.




i hope the stuff about him joing Chelsea is wrong, it would ruin his career IMO, as he'd be a bench warmer, lets face it Abromovich aint gunna be forking out millions to lampard and ballack for one of them to sit on the bench while Sids starts...maybe city & reading will do a swap

Barton is a talent; needs to hold the temper in check though.

how about sending over to the nix as punishment! gets payed �1000 a week form the nix, and if hes out of line then just set alosi on him.. 

 

 he was an everton youth team member  peter reid is one of his idols  why wouldn't he want to come back to play  for us

could be all the more reason why he doesnt want to...he WAS a youth member...


i think points 2 & 3 i made may stick with the everton board, then again, if a quality player is a free agent or his club is after a quick, cheap sale............


i guess stranger things have happened

He will come to Everton this summer. Mark my words.

don't think they'll pay 12 million euros for manny somehow

We would never have had him on loan if we couldnt have maid to permanent. I think the media speculation on the price is blown out of proportion. I think we'll get him

i hope we get him  he'll help mikel out in the mid we've been in need of a couple of playmakers
for a while now

somehow this has turned into an Everton transfer discussion BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Manny has been thrown around as another loan season on some websites i would be happy with that... Barton not sure yeah good player and Moyes would be able to control but not forgetting we have Cahill to come back from injury a bit of dept would not go a miss considering were going on a european tour in August!!

 we still have to replace kevin kilbane and simon davies  plus with the rumor beattie is off to fulham  we'll need to get another striker   although  he could be making way for nugent to come in from preston 
 i see there talking about signing paddy kenny from sheffield to replace richard wright also

 time will tell  or maybe money, come on bill get that cheque book out again

Nugent will come also, Cant wait! Havnt seen him play but he sounds outstanding!!

Be interesting to see Barton play under Keano at Sunderland - he'd certainly be the man to tame Bartons wild side - either that or one will be doing 15 - 20 for murder.

i think it would be the best thing for his career to end up with Keano, the man is a nutter who wouldn't take any sh*t from Barton, and probably turn him into a regular england squad member (or as PROAK said a murderer)

although money could prevent that move me thinks  

maybe somewhere other than england would do him better  get away from all the grief and media ?

away from the media could be bad for him aswell...atleast in England he's in the spotlight weekly through the EPL thus he is in the national selectors minds. if he was to go overseas germany would be good for him, look at Hargreaves at Bayern, he's doing alright there...maybe Man city can negotiate a part trade between the two


Scotland could be a goer for Joey...its close enough to England and still would get all the BBC coverage etc. And the lifestyle wouldnt change as drasticly as say Italy or Germany

COME TO THE NIX JOEY

looks like a done deal

This is coming from the Sun now I'm not saying the deal isn't going to happen but i like to stay away from anything the Sun says interms of player movement. they for me are the worst source for transfer rumours.

Check theworldgame.com.au - it looks like Scott Parker will head to West Ham to replace Reo Coker.  In turn, Magpies replace Parker with Barton.

Phew! There was talk of Barton coming to West Ham but the Barcodes can have him. I'd prefer to have Parker playing with us next season. Was supposed to be a done deal by yesterday so hopefully no hiccups there.

Oops, I meant Darren. Always get those two names mixed up.

missing out on Tal Ben Haim is abit of a blow for Newcastle as i think there defence is far below par. I think look for a couple of centre backs to strengthen that area before they look to buy anyone else.

Apparently City sold him with a " Get out of Jail Free " card to anyone who will have him.Probably won't have to vist his brother as much which should help him, by not having to go " inside " every week . Overall another average Newcastle signing which should see them clear of bottom 3,but Big Sam maybe able to control this lunatic ????????

I think  will won't hear any more C### from barton when he is a Geordie

Barton is an idiot.

That was fucken ridiculous.

Off with his head. 

But of irony at the beginning of this thread, and where it will go now. 

QPR should be ripping his contract up as we speak.

For some strange reason his Wikipedia page has been locked...

Barton is really going off on Twitter at the moment.

There's some excellent stuff about Alan Shearer!
