Barton trying to use brinkmanship

[cocneycowboy]

Joey Barton says that he is happy to wait 2 years for the contract to run out with us before he signs for Marseilles

Yeah right what a load of old codswallop who does he think hes kidding?

You and me both mate.

I'm assuming he thinks he can continue his loan for two years while we subsidise his wages? If so, he should be recalled immediately and put in the reserves unless he agrees to cancel his contract.

I reckon Marseille will not pay any money for him. Its only him who says that he wants to stay there - they are being very quiet. We are in a win win situation here and he cannot deal with it.

Said it before & will say it again. If Barton walks away or agrees to sign for 50% of his current wage he will get his almighty wish. What's the problem Joey? Not rocket science.

Wants his cake.

this.
no way should we subsidise a player in the champions league.

[acricketer]

If they really want him OM will get a deal done. While we are subsidising his wages they are happy to have him.

He wants to move.

If he really loves OM and will take a pay cut, happy days.

If they won't pay and he is professional he'll play for us. If he is unprofessional he'll ponce a living.

Don't think we should keep paying his wages while he's playing for a different team.

How he can say we didn't treat him well after the meltdown he had at Maine Road (One of the worst instances of violent conduct in the history of the game), potentially sending us down and then getting banned for a third of a season?

I hope he has an accident.

Maine Road? It wasn't that long ago!

Anyway, I don't think they're that fussed on him. Probably figured out what everyone else in the game has - more trouble than he's worth.

So it's the money after all...

Donerkebab? Habibhabiba? Oh yeah Etihad!

[West Acton]

His interview just showed how deluded he is. Does he really think a team is going to stand still for two years and hold tight and wait for him to finish his contract at another club then sign him???? Joey they may have said that too you but there is no way there going too do it.

You will be two years old possibly having played in the 2nd tier of English football for a second season you wont be an attractive proposition you fool

[Shepherds Mush]

Get him to buy himself out of his contract if he wants to go so badly !

[Rich]

Bring him back and attempt to get him interested in playing for us. If not let him rot in the reserves and make him come in on time etc and then when late fine him until he's had enough and he wants to do a deal to leave
