Kid Dynamite 5968 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Its obvious he doesn't want to go. Probably an attempt at forcing a contract out of MA. I think he's misjudged the fat man though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Sounds like he's holding out for a contract extension that he won't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's misjudged the fat man though He's a very stubborn man. People said he wouldn't finish that 9th big mac - but true to his word he did.

PaddockLad 14667 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Blatantly playing to the crowd ie us. Theres no way hes having medical as a free transfer and not signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Don't agree with the 'my hands are tied' comment from him like, that's a load of shite. Should of just stuck with I'm not wanted so I'm going, which is true. I think the naivety of what it takes to run a football club is starting to show from the glorified Casino managers...

I think there are a lot of strings attached to him leaving for free. Like QPR pay his loyalty bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 6 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's as plain as the smile on Pardews face that he'd like Barton to stay. This is the main problem with Barton leaving. Forget the debate over his ability, attitude and influence. If the board are calling the shots on contracted players it underminds the manager.

Forget the debate over his ability, attitude and influence. If the board are calling the shots on contracted players it underminds the manager. Pardoo tried to play it like it was his decision, dropping him from training, weighing up the pros and cons of whether or not to play him and then deciding he should play for the first team.....now he just looks like a dick all over again because he has no control over any of it whatsoever. He'd have been better off leaving barton out altogether, at least it would give the appearance of him having some control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6441 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Heart on his sleeve isn't it? The sort of thing we love until it's not in our favour. He obviously doesn't want to go and what's wrong with hoping it'll work out even to the very end, like my last 12 relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either tell them to fuck off, or do one. Stop with the attention whoring. Exactly the quotes yesterday as well were tragic as well. "i'm having a medical now...look honestly i'm going go, see i'm on a train...better stop me, i'm i'm going sign for them if you don't stop me soon" was like a bairn pretending to run away from home Even though I agree I can't help but feel that this is a big aspect of his personality, both on and off the pitch, and somewhat likeable. Or entertaining, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to stay he would turn round and say, "No,I'm not off to the Medical, Im staying" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
