Joey Barton to sign new QPR contract

[Rangers77]

I cant see anyone signing Sandro - fitness concerns, high fee, high salary, deportation risk. Saying that though, Sandro in the Championship blimey, aint no one getting past him

In the treatment room....

If we can negotiate much reduced wages I would 100% keep him. He would be a fantastic asset in the Championship.

With all youngsters in the squad next season we are going to need a few old lags to help them through games. Barton is no world beater in my view but at Championships level and on "realistic" wages I would definitely look to retain him, may be on a 1 year deal with an incentive based renewal similar to the Dunne deal last season. Thoughts?

Definitely need some leaders in there if we are going to promote the youth into the squad. Barton and Hill are about the only ones I ever see talking on the pitch.

I agree, but will he be willing to take a big pay cut to stay, given that he wouldn't do so to join Marseille?

Not sure mate but I think he probably would. More time has moved on since then, I think he realises that very few (if any) PL clubs will take him, I believe Marseille have also ruled out having him back, and that the fans (majority) like him at Loftus Road (something I believe he acknowledges in the OP linked article). I think that he would quite like to stay, I really do.

If he clicks this poll he wont resign as he said it will be how the fans react whether he signs up again and helps us get back up.

Let's not get confused here. JB only listens to one person and that's JB. No-one close to him or any outside influences will change his mind, EVER. If Barton re-signs for us, it's because he hasn't got a better offer elsewhere, not to do with the fans reaction or the 35man poll on here.

[Hertford Hoop]

JB signs not for us now

[californiahoop]

Ramsey and Les have gone up in my estimation.

[MYU]

I was starting to think that maybe Joey was part of the problem.

[Ablockhoop]

Gutted joey is not re signing for next season. Perfect player for us in the championship.. Will cost a good few quid to replace

[bakes8]

Adieux Monsieur Barton, and merde.

[Ginger Ninja]

He's been all over Twitter saying his goodbyes. Reckon thats it.

Glad he has FINALLY gone. Happy days.
