Joey Barton

[ArcticHoop]

he tweeted few weeks ago something like"things has changed at QPR and i have to talk with them". So maybe he finally understand that he is contracted with QPR and the club MIGHT have some opinion about his future.

Bet he feels like a prize pr*ck now for giving it the big'un about how a deal was agreed!

Personally if I was Tony Fernandes there is no way I'd be subsidising a loan for him again this season, if nobody wants to take him off our wage bill we should have him in the squad. I know many won't like this but he'd be a cracking player in the Championship and whatever you say about him, we missed a few characters like Joey last season!

My thoughts exactly, 100%

Get. Him. Back. In!

Joey Barton + Scott Parker in CM would be as good a CM pair as any championship club and most of the clubs anywhere tbh.

I know some talk about Faurlin but Harry didn't even have him in the squad last year what does that tell you? Can't see he not going to switch to building the team around him next year.
Barton+Parker first choice then Faurlin and Jenas would be the best CM to hope for imo.

People saying he'd be a cracking championship player need to realise hes been challenging for the French title this year. Hes much more than a quality championship player. Hes too good for us

Which may be the case; but he's under contract to us, and therefore he is our player and if our owner decides so, he plays for us in the Championship.

Sad but could be true. Just shows how far backward we have gone in 2 seasons.

He should actually be grateful to the club. They allowed him to go to Marseilles and from what we understand paid his wages. I'm not sure what else he expected being as he was suspended.

comic genius......

I understood from the French press that he was offered half of what he is getting at Rangers (40,000 Euros a week), which he refused. Also everybody in France has to pay 75% tax on earnings over 1,000,000 Euros a year, so even if Marseille were to make a better offer, he would not be much better off because most of it would be going in tax. At the moment I assume he is being paid by QPR from the UK and is paying UK tax.

As for his tweet about not paying in the Championship, he will probably say that he had to put his family first.

I don't understand why would he say that? I'm pretty sure he won't have had a relegation clause so would be on the same money.

Sorry I did not word that very well. What I meant is that if he comes back to the Championship after saying he wasn't going to, he will say that he decided to come back to the Championship because he had to put his family first (as regards money).

Yeah i see what you mean now. Yes i think you're probably right, a good way for him to save face, agree

i'm not so sure he wouldn't have a relegation clause... he's supposed to have had a staying up clause (which allegedly paid for the fine we gave him for getting sent off at man city), so someone was obviously thinking about relegation at the time.
