peasepud 59 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Tony Adams wants to rescue Joey Barton from his nightmare at Newcastle United. Portsmouth boss Adams sees the midfield bad-boy as the ideal replacement to fill the gap left by the £20million sale of Lassana Diarra to Real Madrid. People Sport understands that Adams has spoken to Barton's representative and the player is aware of the interest. Barton last year spent a spell in rehab at the Sporting Chance clinic, which was co-founded by Adams after his own successful fight against alcoholism. Adams has taken an interest in helping him overcome his problems ever since. Barton, 26, is currently recovering from a knee ligament injury, which he suffered only weeks after coming back from an FA suspension for a trainingground attack on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo. He had previously been handed a six-month jail sentence for assault and affray following a vicious street attack in Merseyside in 2007. Boss Joe Kinnear said he is already lining up Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson as a potential replacement. http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/tm_...-name_page.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbert Colon 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Newcastle 'Nightmare'?? To be honest I'd be happy for them to have him. If he has any sort of nightmare here it has been of his own creation - decent player but poor PR for the club just don't replace him with barry ferguson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Newcastle 'Nightmare'?? To be honest I'd be happy for them to have him. Off pitch certainly, but purely on pitch Barton for Ferguson? If that's Ashley/Wise/Lambrusco/Kinnear's "plan" then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty84 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 how has it been a newcastle nightmare for him exactly? Keegan did nothing but stand by him where most managers would have ran a mile to be associated with such a player / person these days. And the majority of fans have gave him nothing but support when he's been on the pitch, both cluba dn fans taking a shed load of abuse along the way.
