Posle najnovijih Barton-ovih piskaranja na twitter-u, Newcastle United je izdao saopštenje, da je Joey Barton stavljen na transfer listu i da može da ode kao slobodan igrač.

Sa nufc.co.uk:

"Newcastle United can confirm that Joey Barton has been placed on the transfer list today (Monday).

The player has been advised that he can leave the club on a free transfer".

 

Da podsetimo, Joey Barton je u nedelju na twitter-u, napisao sledeće:

"If only we as players could tell the fans exactly how it is, without them above fining us lots of money. There will be a time and a place.

"If it wouldn't effect team morale and cause unrest within the dressing room, am certain Jose's comments would be the tip of the iceberg.....

"And again it would be left to those magnificent fans to pick up the remnants of their once great football club.

"If I wanted to leave, I'd just come out and say 'I want to leave'. Things need addressing as am not prepared to go through a relegation again.

"If I didn't care, I'd say f**k all and pick my money up."

 

Samo nekoliko sati posle klupskog saopštenja za javnost, Joey Barton je na twitter-u postavio sledeće:

"Somewhere in those high echelons of NUFC, they have decided I am persona non grata. I am on a free but the honour of wearing those B+W stripes, surpasses that.

One day the board might realise, what the shirt signifies. HONOUR and PRIDE. Thanks for your continued support.."
