Marseille have turned down the chance to sign him, anyone think he should be given a clean slate and a chance to strengthen our midfield? |  |

An "asset" that is constantly disruptive in the dressing room and at the training ground.A settled atmos in the squad is paaramount and beyond price.
Thrash out a deal and get rid asap. |  |

I can't be bothered to add my fore penneth. But i will anyway.
If he shut up and did his best for the team, he'd be a great asset and i'd back him all the way.
Can't see any of that coming true though. He's more likely to be detrimental, like usual.

If he's disruptive as Barton was towards Bothroyd and SWP then yes. | |

TF tells us all he's an accountant. In that case, he'll remember the first principle of financial decision-making i.e. sunk costs are not relevant to future decisions. We've locked ourselves into this contract so we're stuck with it: write off the cost. If someone comes in for him then let him go - no payments to him, no subsidising wage costs or anything else. If we can't shift him, too bad. Let the twunt rot. |  | | |

"Hello and welcome back to the Sky Sports Transfer Centre. Here is some of the early newspaper speculation this Wednesday morning. The Sun claims Joey Barton is after a whopping £3.5million to quit Queens Park Rangers. He wants his loan move to Marseille to become permanent but is demanding some of his QPR contract be paid up."
I suspect there is some truth in this. I hope he gets nothing. |
The Sun claims he wants a payoff (no source quoted for the story); Barton claims he hasn't spoken to QPR since February. Would you rather believe Barton or a newspaper that comes from the same stable that gave us Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks.
I think I prefer Joey's version. |  |

I believe him based on his "They know where I am if they want to talk." - that kind of arrogance seems quite believable - he wants the move, has his wages paid by QPR but thinks they should come crawling to him.
His only option therefore was to have an agent/advisor get something in the papers. |  | | |

So has Barton become a sort of wandering bandit that clubs simply pay to get rid of? |  |

Are you comparing them like for like? really?
OK. | |

Get us to pay him off, pocket a wedge of cash and save Marseille a transfer fee when he signs on a free - i can see how in Barton and his agents view that is a great idea...
However, we know he has no intention of coming back and playing for us in the Championship, so no way should we cave to his demands.

Stick him in the reserves, maybe even train with the youth team. He won't have the nous that Bogarde did, his ego is too big for that.
He'll be whining to be released 'by mutual consent' very soon after.

Agree its free transfer / no pay off, or back to LR, and having already been through internal disciplinary it wont take much (social media rules etc) for him to throw a wobbly unless of course he wants to stay.
All the cards in our hands and he should not get a pay off |  | | |
