Barton refusing to sign for QPR Said thanks but no thanks On his way back up north Peter Ramage is my mate( on loan at palace) just been the phone to let me know

If this is true, he's given up financial security for the next 3 to 4yrs and shows how much he wants to stay.
Agree0
Disagree0
Rubbish at £3.3M a year dont make me laugh talking aboutgiving up financial security.
Agree0
Disagree0
So you're telling me if you could earn 60k a week for 10 months, or 50-60k a week for 4 years guarenteed, you would turn down the latter, don't talk wet son, he'l be off
Agree0
Disagree0
That wud actually be hilarious, 'cheers for the medical, turns out I'm fit afterall, ta' haha aye but seriously, think common sense will prevail and he'll sign for them
Agree0
Disagree0
Financial security? That makes no sense whatsoever, he dosnt really have anything to lose as he will have a big role to play for NUFC should he stay. And then when his contract is up, there will be plenty of bidders, perhaps even one or two big ones if he had another great season... At the end of the day, JB will do whats best for JB tho
Agree0
Disagree0
I personally wont begrudge him if he does leave hes got a baby on the way what he needs is a stable contract but if he does go to QPR then hes kinda likely to shine and move again next season he is a top 5 to 8 team player
Agree0
Disagree0
Just got of the phone to my dad, he is neil warnock, he said barton wont be signing, and that peter ramage dont have any friends
Agree0
Disagree0
Finacial security my a**, JB is already a multi-millionaire who never needs to work again thanks to the NUFC cointract he signed 4 years ago, have no sympathy for this 'security' b********
Agree0
Disagree0
The fact remains if he stays and gets injured he's only paid until his contract is up. What if its a career threatening /ending injury ,what then , hes taking a big gamble if he stays with toon .
Agree0
Disagree0
£1 million signing on fee higher wages club looking to make more signings and showing potential he will be on his way

Need a forward.. Is it me but is Ba just a slow ameobi.... Is that possible
Agree0

Can't tell the difference either mate Give Sammy Ameobi a chance second half

Slower than shola

No He is a poor man's Marlon harewood

Yes, unfortunately it is possible, cos Ba proves it
Agree0

Slower m8
Agree0

Worst game. completely wrong tactics. and the most painful part is league one side is playing like Barcelona and we are playing like bolton.
Agree0
Disagree0
Totally agree with all the above comments, we are being outplayed by a league1 side. as for ba it looks like west ham have ripped us off, bring back shola all is forgiven. on a brighter note marveux looks decent, wish i could say the same for gosling, his passing has been appauling
Agree0
Disagree0
Marveux got better as the game went on. his passing early on..jesus was over hitting everything. Ba, what a waste of space. Gosling needs time. Sammy looked like our only threat. I forgot about Best.. so far from his surnames meaning its untrue. Sell him asap, before anymore games show up how rubbish he really is
Agree0
Disagree0
Who said Sammy
Agree0
Disagree0
You have got to remember that he is just getting his fitness back and is getting used to the british game
Agree0
Disagree0
Best won everything that was hit up to him and caused problems all game long.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ba is fasting for ramadan, therefore one can assume he is lacking the energy to perform at the highest level. we should start to see a different Ba after the international break.

Reports coming in that we've lodged a 10 million pound bid for Davide Santon. Hard to believe but would seem we're serious about getting him.
Believable7
Unbelievable11
Really....Source?
Agree0

Reports coming in from where?
Agree0

There us somthing about it on NUFC blog .com I dont believe it i think it's smoke screen so psv drop asking prcie
Agree0
Disagree0
Ladbrokes the main source can't see it happening though
Agree0
Disagree0
Think its more likely MA is taking a flyer or using it as a negotiating tactic with first choice FB. Don't mind as long as we bring one in.
Agree0
Disagree0
Pieters will be the signing, this was a shot accross the PSV bows to get them to agree the fee etc..
Agree0

Ashley will have a heart attack if he spent 10m on one player, 6m possibly for someone yes

Simpson has denied any rumours that he is moving and declared he wants to stay at NUFC.
Joey barton is looking for fresh talks with the NUFC hierachy before he decides on his future as he has a desire to stay at the club.
Also pieters agent is confident that the deal to bring him to NUFC will be done in next 2-3 days.....JKM,Spenny
Believable18
Unbelievable4
Getting your hopes up for nothing. Barton is going doesn't matter how much you try and kid yourslef
Agree0

The thing that worries me about simpson is, he still hasn't signed a contract which has been on his table for a few months now.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why does worry you, Simpson is terrible and the sooner we get a few million for him the better
Geo
Agree0
Disagree0
I totally agree - Simpson is a donkey. Can't defend, can't pass, can't cross, can't beat a player. He's actually so poor, he'd probably finish last in a Donkey Derby.
Agree0
Disagree0
You are all right but if he does go who we going to stick RB cos Cashly wont buy any one to fill the void?
Agree0
Disagree0
Aint got my hopes up Want him gone
Agree0
Disagree0
Tbh if ashley doesnt replace simpson and we play nobody at right back we'd probably still be better off. the lad doesnt even look a league1 player
Agree0

Mackem here lads, check bartons twitter, says he will make a decision today on QPR

old friend of joey barton here. just spoke to the lad and he says he has no intention of joining qpr, was talked into going down for talks by his agent but he will not sign. He wants to stay and fight for a new contract
Believable14
Unbelievable13
Everyone involved in this situation has made mistakes Ashley, Llambias, Pardew, Barton, Bartons agent(Willie Mckay).
I hope u are being genuine with this post because it would be nice to see this situation sorted. I think Barton has been poorly advised probably by his agent, but he is a key member of our team so i hope everyone finds a compromise and we get him signed to a new deal.
Agree0
Disagree0
BS why would he have a medical?
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah right, he is going QPR, money talks
Agree0
Disagree0
Hope your right mate
Agree0
Disagree0
Please tell him to leave then, we do not want him. He's a madman screwing up our club from the inside. Get him OUT
Agree0
Disagree0
From what he said to SSN it looks like he doesn't want to leave, but we aren't offering him a contract.
Agree0
Disagree0
He needs to do what is best for him. He wants to stay, but if someone will offer him the security of a longer contract then he may choose to take a step down career wise. If he has enough money, then he may as well stay.
Agree0
Disagree0
Screwing the club from the inside out ,,,, give me a break what Tabloid did you get that Gem from.... he is our midfield general and i hope to god he stays.. twitter aside (and really has he said anything remotely untrue) all the younger players cannot say anything bad about the bloke and tell the press that he always helps them out.. so ease up with your vast understanding of what damage he is doing to our club, there is a cancer in our club but i believe it resides in our boardroom,
SAGEORDIE OUT
Agree0
Disagree0
Its a big old gamble by Joey if it doesn't work though. I don't think this has anything to do with the money at QPR. He just wants length in his contract. I hope he stays. I also hope he is given 3-4 years room
Agree0
Disagree0
Think the comments our out of order about tell him to leave He is a top class player who wants to play for our club. He was one of the most consistent english players in the country last year if not the most consistent in his position. True newcastle fans know who he is, what he has done and where he wants to be. Sometimes it is out of your hands. If Joey signs for QPR we all know he that this could have been prevented from MA. All this because of TWITTER, seems like a good old MA excuse to get him off the wage bill. I for one would be gutted if he left. He has been loyal to us as fans regardless what he has done in his personal life in the past.
Agree0
Disagree0
Joey Barton is playing a busted flush.Warnock has seen his hand and offerred much less.Hence the kiss and make up with MA is underway
Agree0
Disagree0
I really hope he stays.
Easily the most consistent english midfield player for me last year.Wouldn't blame him if he left either.Its obvious he wont be getting a new contract from fat boy anytime soon.
Agree0
Disagree0
Qpr offered him 20k a week plus bonuses for appearances for 4 years, also offered 100k bonus for the higher qpr finish in the table if they stay up-100k if the finish 17th, 200k if they finish 16th etc. his old friend speaking again here
Agree0
Disagree0
Joey got into trouble cos he tweeted that he did not want to get into another relegation battle, if thats the case why go to QPR.
Agree0
Disagree0
Your an OLD friend and he thought he'd call you up to to tell you what he's doing in confidence and you come and splash it on here...?
so he is gonna be on £20k per/week...
Why is £80k a week being reported?
Anyone can see he is doing this to try and manufacture a new contract from us.
QPR wouldnt be a step backwards with their new chairman by the way.
Dont see how Barton has had his 'hands tied' either. He is in a better situation now, (being in the first team playing) Rather than a couple of weeks ago (being forced to train alone). Then he was tweeting PRIDE & HONOUR & i'm not going anywhere... Doesnt add up
Agree0
Disagree0
There is no way qpr will pay him 80k a week
Agree0
Disagree0
If he wants new contract with Newcastle, then he must shut the f*** up and play...
Agree0
Disagree0
Why is there no way QPR will pay £80k p/w?
Their new chairman is giving the season ticket holders down there money back. To make it cheaper for real fans to go. Doubt their current wage bill will be radge either.
New chairman, with big plans & willing to splash the cash. Do you know anything about other clubs situation's...?
Agree0
Disagree0
OMG barton had 1 good season with us and no whes the next bloody messi, it really frustrates me that yes he did a an exceptional season with us but before that can you name a game where he played well, all he done was get sent off, cause disruption in the team until nolan came along, and how was he loyal to the fans, when he was in prison he done nothing except pick up wages what he shouldnt have, he don eabsolutely nothing until last season and suddenly hes our saviour, the man is a thug and shouldnt be in football, btw im not an ashley fan far from it but this should have been done earilier, I.E sack him when he was in prison i wish you would all open your eyes and see what he has really done to our club.

Ed what have u heard on the transfer front?
Ive heard we are looking to complete deals for Pieters, Roux and Situ?
{Ed042's Note - Have it in a nutshell lad.. also negotiations with Inter over Santon and less so Lyon with Cissokho}
Believable8
Unbelievable3
Cheers Ed.
Ive heard we arent interested in Santon but there seems to be reports saying otherwise.
Wouldnt he cost around 10 million euros? No way we'd spend that on a right back.
{Ed042's Note - Dont think it would be quite that, more around the 7 to 8 mark because he is surplus to requirements, were going to use him as exchange plus cash with other Italian club for a player they wanted but fell through so dont think he is has a future at Inter, lowers his value}
Agree0
Disagree0
I thought he was very highly rated? Been impressed whenever ive seen him. Surprised they'd want to let him go permanently.
Id just be very surprised if we'd spend that much on a right back when its not a priority, or is this one of Santon/Pieters/Cissokho for left back rather than Pieters/Cissokho for left back and Santon for right back?
Agree0
Disagree0
ED i got a sneaky feeling Santon is aswell as pieters as he can cover at LB or RB and Pieters can play CB or LB which means if pietrs is needed in the centre Santon can play LB and simmo RB but if we got either of Santon or Pieters + Roux i will be a happy Chappy
:Pedro:
{Ed042's Note - Would myself mate, be chuffed with our summer business if we secured one of them for LB and Roux for up front}
Agree0
Disagree0
Explain how all these people on here get all this info but SSN no sweet FA? I get a feeling someone is telling porkies
Ed, how come you are so much ITK with transfers, is this not just a rumour site?
{Dont claim to be massively ITK mate, get decent info through a lot of digging and some good contacts, site editors and others, and definitely avoid journos ha}

Santon is real quality, I live in milan and have seen him play many times.. would be an amazing signing

Hope so both fantastic footballers. Santon I believe is out of price range though

The rumours are gathering pace precisely because dithering Derek and vampire Mike will sell any of the players

This would def be a massive step forward if it happens. that a big IF thou. Simpson wud easily be replaced in my view
Agree0
Disagree0
Bye bye Simpson Hopefully theres loads of nandos in London.lol
Agree0
Disagree0
Pardew can want all he wants dosent mean Ashley is going to part with any cash although we do have 45million + from transfers alone
Agree0
Disagree0
There is news on SSN that Erik Pieters agent claims that the deal will be done within the next couple of days
Agree0
Disagree0
Hope this is true and we sell simpson cause he is utter crap
Agree0
Disagree0
Anyone elso see the strong possibility we sign santon and pieters and it paves the way for Colo to leave on deadline day with all the santon cash recouped as santon can play LB and Pieters CB we will have outlayed 6 mil and have a younger defence on long contracts with lower wages and high resale value
Just saying that is Ashleys Blueprint in a Nutshell wt u reckon ED?
{Ed042's Note - Not beyond the realms of possibility mate. Give Ashley a good money offer to sell a 29 year old on 90K a week and he`ll take it.. think Colo & Gutierrez will be sold next summer regardless tbh, it fits the long term plan}
Agree0
Disagree0
We will sign pieters and santon. pieters will be playing center back if needed but most of time left back. santon will be for the reserves and create competition for pieters. pieters will sign for 5m with add onns of 1.5m and santon will be 3m with 20% sell on clause.
Agree0
Disagree0
How do you know all these money deals,I have read listened and never been off the computer and I havent heard nowt like that.
Agree0

3 mil for santon?? ur dreamin mate wat planet u livin on? and y would santon leave to play in are reserves hed push simmo straight out the squad

Looks like the Santon rumours are picking up pace with the Mirror reporting that Newcastle have lodged a bid and Inter are ready to negotiate with us. Would be a fantastic signing as comfortable in both FB positions and will only get better.

Sounds like another pistone to me

Nah, watched him play a couple of times in CL a few years back and he looked the real deal - went out on loan to Cesena last year (as still only 19/20) and got rave reviews. Only not in Inter team due to Maicon and Chivu, which is no great shame to be honest.

Hope its true, need some good news on the transfer front finally..

Would be our signing of the summer if we were to pull it off. I can't see us even having bid for him though, seems way out of our league.
Agree0

Well lets hope
Agree0

Really hope this true.
If we had a decent right back Simpson wouldn't get a game.I would sell Simpson to qpr no problem.
Agree0

Yeah simpson has never really stepped up to the plate as it were. If we can pull of this signing it would be class...
