Barton trying to use brinkmanship

[Norths]

He holds all the cards and the (unt knows it, would probably be more than happy to rot in the reserves doing nothing on the sort of wage he is earning.

i used to be a bit of a barton fan but he's starting to get on my wick , if he doesn't want to stay then sack him for being disloyal . lets have it right he's not even that good

Me too.....apparently the french have told him they'll wait for his contract to run down, so lets test that theory. We paid for him to play there last year one year is enough, if he wants to play for them then tear up
his contract and f**koff, if not, either behave like a professional and play the best you can for QPR, or sit around in the reserves for 2 years

[MYU]

Bring him back and attempt to get him interested in playing for us. If not let him rot in the reserves and make him come in on time etc and then when late fine him until he's had enough and he wants to do a deal to leave

That's right, fine him and others like him for every little thing.

What a donut. Basically they have said they will have him on a free when his wages are lower. I they wanted him i am sure if they offered his current wages QPR would jump at the chance to off load him ,but, obviously they will not pay him and he wont cancel his contract because he is greedy. He even has the audacity to say money is not his motivation.
