| Why it's time for Joey to go... on 12:31 - Feb 27 with 3823 views | PeterHucker |
the ideal time for him to go would've been just before he signed in the first place.
still can't understand why we didn't just sack him after the Man City debacle. If behaviour like that and then telling lies about other players telling him to do it isn't gross misconduct / bringing the club into disrepute then I don't know what is!
He's been ineffective in 80% of the games he's played and I hate the fact whenever you tell anyone you're a QPR fan the first comment they make is usually something about Barton. |  | |  |

Allegedly, the club were open to discussing a new contract for Barton. Although, they may be having a rethink after the dismissal at Hull.
When you consider that, at the end of this season, we should be losing Murphy, Rio, Clint, SWP and Zamora. If we get relegated we won't keep Isla, Vargas, Niko nor Zarate. We'll probably lose Charlie as well. And there are doubts whether Caulker and Fer would be prepared to play in the Championship.
How many more players can we afford to lose out of the 25 man squad, before we're left with 5/6 senior players and a bunch of kids?
Barton, at his best, offers commitment and drive. But his disciplinary record often makes him a libility. I certainly wouldn't rule out a contract extension but, only for 12 months, and certainly not on anywhere near his current wages. If his wage can be tied to a clean disciplinary record, all the better. |  |

No way. There's a lot more reasons than his suspect (nice word) disciplinary record for fúcking him off. |  |

Just tell him we'll talk at the end of the season and then get rid. |  | | |

He is hardly going to accept 20k a week or thereabouts so for his seasons wages alone we can surely pick up a younger version without all the bad habits our Joey brings or give a youth teamer a go. Time to move on, no discussion required. |  | | |

If the club don't get rid of him at the end of the season then they're even more clueless than Barton himself.
Plenty of other players out there who can do as good a job as Barton without all the additional grief he inevitably brings. | | | |

Before he goes can we all hit him with a shark, inflatable or otherwise?! |  |

Something has always struck me as fishy about that - Barton claims he offered to resign, we declined, then spent two off seasons trying to bomb him out for free. If that was the plan surely we would have just binned him?
Personally I wish we had. I have detested him ever since that day, still can't bring myself to cheer his name when it's called out pre match |  | | |

Assuming we go with 2 in the middle and if Sandro not fit, who do you think CR will go with to partner Henry?
Have a horrible feeling Doughty not fit the way CR was saying on offy that we have a few injuries and that centre mid was a "problem" |  | | |

Excellent choice of Madman Diakite montage pics there Simmo. :)
I don't think we should renew his contract, but I also think he's been one of the many players let down by HR's lack of effort. Purely in the sense of what CR has said about Joey - he shouldn't be running all over the pitch like a blue-arsed fly because it makes him less effective. He'd been playing well under CR except for the Hull game. I'd like to get what we can out of him after the ban and then move him on. |  | | |

We will probably need him again before the season is out, but after that it's a simple decision. There are more talented, professional and financially viable options out there. To keep him would be lazy, as well as foolish. |  |

Daft stupid thing he did against Hull. Petulant and ill advised. Have we missed him when he's been out of the team? Yup. Will we need him back to see out the season and try and avoid the drop. Yes. |  |

Shame he didnt make the 25, would certainly liven up the arsenal game seeing him chop Ozil, Cazorla etc off at the knee before the inevitable 28th minute red card.
Wengers post match meltdown would be epic too. | | | |

Exactly why football is going so downhill, virtually talentless, gets a massive salary and deigns for us to regard him as 'unmissable' when not playing.
Pressure is going to get even more intense as the last few games roll on, showed enough times he cannot be trusted one iota, and having a man short is almost like handing the three points on a plate.
Will disagree with you bosh67, it's extremley risky this man even being on the pitch at any time, give me more hope if a supporter was plucked from the crowd who happened to have his plimsols with him.... |  | | |

Remember when we played a few games with a CM partnership of Henry/Sandro and how much better we looked as a team? Yeah, i miss that partnership. |  | | |

Yeah, the daylight robbery vs Liverpool and City plus the 2-0 win v Villa. How we only got 4 points instead of 9 is beyond me. We made all 3 teams midfield look ordinary. | | | |

Not wrong, then sadly it became the Barton show once more due to Sandro picking up an injury. | | | |

I knew my original thread would be provocative so it's no surprise at the number who just want Barton to go. However, nobody has attempted to address my points about why he may be offered an extension.
If we have to start preparing for the Championship with Green, McCarthy, onouha, Dunne, Yun, Phillips, Henry, Adel and a bunch of kids how would we do? There's a lesson about over reliance on kids from Craven Cottage (back me up, Konk). | |
