    Joey Barton issue...

    What do you guys think the plan is now?

    Do you think we will buy a new player or promote youth from within?

    Vuckic, Abeid?

    I know we have a thread already this one is just to attempt to filter out the doom merchants and complete idiots who we see to have on this board who think its the end of the world.

  2. Lets just remain hopeful. I'm going to wait for the club to announce this officially.

    SSN have been known to spout some complete **** based of rumours.

    Club say (via agent and not club) that they will not renew contract.

    I don't actually trust agents.

    I think they are worse than Sun journalists.

    Still retain hope.

    Do you think this could be linked to the mystery midfielder we have apparently nearly got wrapped up?

    I wouldn't class accepting Barton is gone now and wanting to replace him with 18 year olds without much/any first team experience reasonable.

    According to their twitter page Real Radio claimed that at 2pm they had some breaking news on Joey Barton, a bit more than SSN, hope he does stay as he's one of our best players.

    There will be a replacement if he's leaving, maybe they plan to blood Vuckic next season

    Vuckic looked the stand out player in the Youth Cup Semi Final at SJP last year, think a year out at a Championship club would be good.

    Well maybe this is the chance for that first team experience.

    throughout europe how many of these top players come through at a very young age? over here we seem to have this mentality that a player only comes good when hes closing on 25. we write off our youths way too easily.

    look at the likes of fabregas.. i wonder if arsenal fans complaing hes replacing Vieira are still complaining now?

    I think the club club hold the cards here! let him stay and hope he re-adjusts his financial demands over the next year or let him go!

    Who knows who we may bring in in the meantime???

    Bearing in mind how long this contract saga has been going on, the club have had plenty of time to line up a suitable replacement if Joey Barton does not agree to thier terms. If we were talking about a sensible owner and chairman you would assume that a replacement has now agreed to come in. However, we are talking about Mike and Derek!!

    Posted this on the other thread but it got lost amongst the crap.

    It smacks of the agent trying to put pressure on the club to increase their contract offer which is pretty dangerous after the whole Carroll saga. HOWEVER there is no-one offering £35m for Barton and from what has been quoted on this site by people who've seen him speak at these dinners/presentations etc he seems to love playing for the club and the fans and would love to stay here, despite not liking MA and Lambsarse.

    If he doesn't get a new contract then it's silly but also way too stubborn from both parties but it is our strongest department except maybe 'keepers (CM, not RW) and I reckon it wouldn't be the end of the world if he had to go. Personally I don't think it will get to that though.

    Reserving judgement until anything is official, remember we were certain Steven Taylor was going, transfer listed and agent reportedly tried to get him 60k p/w. Nothing official has come from the club or Barton.

    Although I dont see why we dont tie down Nolan first, which would make Barton far easier.
