Tonight's headline in the MEN: "Greedy Barton" (Joey). I agree with it. He's already on a fortune a week and now he'll make more. To him £300,000 after tax is peanuts compared to his career earnings. Just shows that "money doesn't matter, I just want to play football" is just a load of bollox.

If his contract states he's due that money, what difference is how much it is? If you went to another job and then you're employer said "right we've cancelled your pension rights" you'd be fecked off. He's got a contract, City are selling him, he's not put in a transfer request, therefore city should pay, it's that simple. If they don't like it they shouldn't have agreed to the clause.
cant they 'blame' that battering that black french player whos name i forget forced them to sell him ? you could get out of any contract doing that , so cant they say he engineered his own transfer by doing that cheating 'loophole' style , instead of writing a transfer request like normal ? loyality is not twatting the shit out of teamates .. is he not breeching his contract in kicking off all the time?communistworkethic wrote:If his contract states he's due that money, what difference is how much it is?

if he is in the 'right' - if i was city i'd let him sue me , if i lose , appeal as many times as possible (whats that? once ?) then pay up just before the 'retrial' ...
if he's in the 'wrong' i'd put him back in the first team sign stig toftig and let him kick off all he wants ..

Ah, but what if City told Dabo to say to Barton "Yo' momma so fat . . ." so Barton would punch him, get transferred, and then they could welch on the fee?a1 wrote:cant they 'blame' that battering that black french player whos name i forget forced them to sell him ? you could get out of any contract doing that , so cant they say he engineered his own transfer by doing that cheating 'loophole' style , instead of writing a transfer request like normal ? loyality is not twatting the shit out of teamates .. is he not breeching his contract in kicking off all the time?

If I was Dabo I wouldn't wind Barton up (and take a punch from him) for a penny less than £300,000.....errrm....H.

Bit of a far fetched conspiracy that one, don't you think?

Dabo wound barton up and had 3 warnings before getting a twatting, I'd say that he'd had his chance.
The fact is Barton didn't ask for the move, so he should get paid. It's citeh's choice to sell him, they could have sold dabo, if the incident was the problem. I know who I'd sooner have in my team and it isn't Mr Punchbaghead

ewcastle boss Sam Allardyce seems to be preparing for life without striker Michael Owen by lining up a move for Fredi Kanoute.
Owen has been linked with a £9million summer move away from St James' Park, despite only joining the Magpies for £16million in August 2005.
The England frontman has endured a troubled time with injuries on Tyneside, and Allardyce may be prepared to cut his losses and instead swoop for a player who has been prolific in La Liga in the last two seasons.
Kanoute moved to Seville from Tottenham for £4.4million in August 2005 and has been a revelation - the Spanish outfit claiming back-to-back UEFA Cup wins and pushing for the title this season during his short time at the club.
Indeed the 29-year-old's agent told the News of the World: "It's true Newcastle are interested. There's no concrete offer yet but Fredi is interested."
The Mali international would certainly strengthen an impressive forward line at St James' should Owen leave, with Obafemi Martins already on the books and the recent arrival of Mark Viduka from Middlesbrough.

Not without sacking him ... which they'd have every right to do.a1 wrote:cant they 'blame' that battering that black french player whos name i forget forced them to sell him ? you could get out of any contract doing that , so cant they say he engineered his own transfer by doing that cheating 'loophole' style , instead of writing a transfer request like normal ? loyality is not twatting the shit out of teamates .. is he not breeching his contract in kicking off all the time?
Unfortunately that would put him on a free transfer ... which would suit him down to the ground.
& No, just because he was wound up by Dabo & he warned Dabo 3 times that does NOT mean he has the right to kick shite out of him.communistworkethic wrote:

Jeez ... some people seem to think pro' footballers live in a separate legal existance (OK, I know pro' footballers think that ... but other people).
They are subject to the same laws all of us are.
What could be interesting is that Barton is being sued by Dabo & Citeh should support that/ Given what he did a jail sentence should follow. Just watch the footballer's omerta (look it up) swing into action.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Oh, I'd say that he'd every justification if that's true. I'd even guess that if Dabo was baiting him, then every time he'd push his luck just a little bit further and a little bit further, just to test Barton's breaking point. And let's be honest here, he'd always have the race card to play, especially in light of Barton's half-brother. You only have to look on here and read the stuff posted by certain contributors that clearly have nothing better to contribute than taunts designed to test the patience of others to realise that. Of course, I haven't the foggiest as to what really went on between Dabo and Barton, but in the interests of balance........bobo the clown wrote:& No, just because he was wound up by Dabo & he warned Dabo 3 times that does NOT mean he has the right to kick shite out of him.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21062007/ ... lause.htmlNewcastle striker Obafemi Martins has a £13million get-out clause in his contract at St James' Park, according to reports.The Nigerian frontman signed for the Magpies just last summer for £10million, but new boss Sam Allardyce was shocked to discover a similar clause in Martins' contract to that of strike partner Michael Owen, according to The Evening Chronicle.
So thats how they get players to sign. Clauses galore

Makes sense to me. Newcastle sign players by twatting on about "potential", but when that potential's not realised (as it never is), the players want out to go to a proper club.bobby5 wrote:http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21062007/ ... lause.htmlNewcastle striker Obafemi Martins has a £13million get-out clause in his contract at St James' Park, according to reports.The Nigerian frontman signed for the Magpies just last summer for £10million, but new boss Sam Allardyce was shocked to discover a similar clause in Martins' contract to that of strike partner Michael Owen, according to The Evening Chronicle.

Ins and outs of Big Sam

Where Is Sam's Bag Of Cash?
Sam Allardyce is well known for building a team out of plastic cups and cornflakes boxes, simply because he had no money to spend at Bolton. But we expected the money to flow this summer ... and guess what?
Former Real Madrid and Middlesbrough Geremi arrived officially on a free transfer (but we can inform you he got £2m himself for signing), after he completed a £7million move to Chelsea from the Bernabeu four summers ago.
Now that represents another bargain acquisition for Allardyce.
Like striker Mark Viduka, who again cost nothing (except another signing on fee), while Joey Barton cost £5.8million from Manchester City and Rozehnal £2.89million.
But, adding up the maths, Scott Parker joined West Ham in a £7million switch, that means Allardyce has so far paid out £1.69million net in transfer fees, with new owner Mike Ashley yet to hand over this alleged £50m he has promised in his 'budget'.
Barcelona duo Edmilson and Eidur Gudjohnsen are still on the shopping list. But Edmilson is out injured for six months, and Gudjohnsen says he wants to stay at Nou Camp.
Nice to see the Geordie's moaning already
