Joey Barton losing it?

[Felt]

10 more games to go.....9 after tonight. It's a long time so if he doesn't sign for anyone else, there's always a chance to reconcile differences. Footballers and managers (despite what they claim) don't give a toss about fans or any club they play for. Paddy Kenny being a prime example, one minute milking the crowd and the next we're a tin pot club. Barton wants to play football and he's in our best 25 footballers. If after 10 games, he's still here...he'll want to play and we'll need him. Can see him playing for us again.

Ha... no chance! Do you really think Tony Fernandes and Mark Hughes will have him back after his conduct, from the sending off to bashing the club on a very public forum? Bridges are well and truly burned. Good riddance. Can't believe he still has his defenders here. Average player, repulsive man.

Look at the spat between Tevez and Mancinni... the rest is history!

The difference is Tevez is a decent footballer.

Whereas Joey is hopeless and wouldnt improve our currently solid midfield that are stopping the oppo getting through at every opportunity....

He's not hopeless, but he's not worth the baggage he brings. Faurlin will be back soon and if we are still in for M'bia, Barton will be surplus to requirements anyway.

[klonk]

fairly obvious that hughes will never take him back. after the latest bit of the soap opera, doubt tf would have him back either.

what disappoints me about the whole thing is how public the whole thing has been from both sides. someone must have been leaking stories to the press over the summer about wanting to sack barton, the squad number thing felt unnecessary (even more so to the less outspoken players not gioven numbers), barton's remarks about newcastle being a proper club, his heart being in marseille etc.

now he's tweeting links to articles about how highly paid footballers aren't really greedy and should have their contracts paid up in full when they're no longer wanted after a season or two - it's hardly subtle stuff (and, if it reflects his own view) presumably means that he's going nowhere).

[Rsonist]

Laughed hard at this move falling through after the ***** tried to convince Mbia not to come to us on his way out.

Anyone with a good word to say about Joey is a disgrace quite frankly. Vastly overpaid, hasn't justified a penny of it and has treated our club with nothing but contempt to boot.

Bore Off

[QPRDave]

Didn't really understand why they would want him anyway. Too much baggage. Pleased it's fallen through for him out of spite, gutted the club is still going to have to pay his wages though.

Yeah?? Well it's us that has to continue to pay his wages while touchy spiteful fans like you don't want him in the team...............makes real sense to the club that does don't it?

You not go to the home games against Spurs/Arsenal and Swansea then? The guy is a tool and had some average/very poor games i agree but he was awesome in these games and as Captain led by example. So to say he has done nothing is ridiculous.

People who have good words to say to him are not as you put it a "disgrace". They just don't conform the the bandwagon of Barton bashing like you do and can actually appreciate that at times he was very good in a QPR shirt.

Same as I said to felt so you happy for him not to play for us or anyone else but continue to take money out of our club??? Think you are the disgrace at least I would make him earn his money

"Maybe this is time to dumb down"

There's irony for you. Boy in a man's body.. dont forget to pick up your dummy as you leave Joseph.

So Im a disgrace for not condeming Joey as being the worst human on the planet? ****ing hell Ive heard it all now, what a precious little soul you are. Get your toys back in the pram.

Exactly.

Joey is not losing his mind if anything he is the exact opposite he knows exaclty what he is doing.

He manouvered Newcastle into to allowing him a free transfer, this meant he could negotiate a hugh sigining on fee, large weekly wages and a big staying up bonus and add that to the fact as he didnt put in a transfer request i bet Newcastle had to pay up a big "bonus fee" for him to walk away.

The man is now doing exactly the same to us, having a fight in front of millions, getting a 12 match ban and therefore making him useless for this season. Add that to the tweets and press coverage he is clearly trying to burn his bridges so we do exactly the same as Newcastle, that way he gets another big fat pay day, not only from the team he signs for but us, as we will need to come to some financal arrangement as he didnt put in a transfer request.

Yes he says he offered to resign after the incident and i believe him, but I bet with a big finiancal settlement condition that would have made him millions. I fear the reason why all his loans are fallin through is that we are not agreeing to pay him any compensation and in return he is trying to make life as difficult as he can so we will buckle and just say, here you go Joey just leave, like Newcastle.

Anyone who thinks differently to me is short sighted, Joey actions are the same a Tevez were, MONEY.

When we signed him i told my freinds QPR sold there sole.......... Guess what we are now dancing with the devil

[hal9thou]

It's clear that Hughes and the board got totally out of their depth with JB. And now he's going (possibly ;) ) when we need a fit (mind and body) Joey more than ever. They had loan options, blew them by making Joey hostage to other bits of business which then collapsed. They had the option of integrating back into the club with community work, schools work, I'm sorry I've been an idiot work, and sessions with our highly paid sports psychologist (unless he too has got the boot). If anyone running the club had even GCSE psychology they would know how to handle him. Now that Marseilles is blown - surprise surprise - and not a class defender in sight, let's hope that they have the intelligence to re-integrate him ASAP, because at this rate we're gonna need him, whether you like him or not.

For me he is still QPR and as deserving of our support as the people allegedly running the show.
