Barton offered last chance Marseille move

[Stanley]

QPR could end up with Joey Barton whether they like it or not after Marseille handed the midfielder a take-it-or-leave-it offer that would slash his pay by more than half.

The man on loan to the French giants last season has a permanent deal on the Stade Velodrome table, but would have to accept close to £25,000-a-week rather than almost £70,000, which he negotiated when signing for Rs two years ago.

It's clear Marseille aren't fussed, which is a shame for us. 70k a week. Christ.

Unless it had a wage reduction relegation clause, but knowing the inexperienced Beard I doubt it.

Over a quarter of a million quid a month on just one player...that doesnt want to play for us. I'd stay and keep taking the money!

Was Beard here when he signed.

But a source close to Marseille said the player who arrived back for the start of Rangers’ pre-season training two days late was anything but a priority for them.

“The club has a number of players it wishes to sign ahead of Barton,” added the insider.

“He did well for the club last season, but it must be remembered he is 30, and a two-year contract, which he seeks, has to be reflected in the Marseille budget.”

Lol.

So Joey and his inflated self worth are clearly not in-sync with Marseille's perspective on things.

So. I wonder what Mr "I'm not in it for the money" and his delusions of grandeur will do next........

Yes.

I really hope he decides to stay (he can make up an excuse he wants).

I think he could be an asset in the championship.

Does anybody know if he is training with the Club. We do know that he met Henry at some point.

He would definately be an asset if Harry could get him playing.

Yes, he'd been here for a whole week, so was even more wet behind the ears then.

Cr.ap player on a high wage. He will stay I reckon, and anyone who thinks he'll be putting in 100% if he plays is deluded.

Will be glad when this chump has finally left the club.
