Latest reports say they have completely released him from the club.

Unreal

The guy is a **** let's not mince words about it but I cannot understand why you would release last years best player on a free transfer. Yes he criticised the club but Thet know he's a **** let him get on with it and help keep us up.

I can sort of understand where the club is coming from saving money (he's apparently on 55k a week and the club are rightly trying to operate within their means but it doesn't help tossing one of your best players for nothing. Let's face it as well Cashley won't put his hand in his pocket to replace him and now expect Enrique to scream even more with another top player leaving.

I can see where Cashley is coming from in a way, he wants the club to be sustainable but god knows how he got where he is being so ham fisted and having no back up plan.

I'm just miffed to be honest

Sounds like Ashley was looking for a reason to offload his wages and got it. Can see a few more casualties and a very difficult season ahead for you.

Same.

Small squad, a lot of unproven cheese eating surrender monkeys,best players are very injury prone, no money being spent. Only reason I am not completely writing us off is Blackburn, Wigan, Norwich, QPR and Swansea are worse.

lol I thought he had changed and had morals but he is nothing but the same person he was years ago when he attacked about 3-4 men.

You should have heard his agent on talksport. What a goon he sounded as well, about at Bartons level to be honest. I'll try and get my hands on a recording.

Is Ashley still looking to sell? I don't know how NUFC finances look, but it strikes me that he is trying to get them as far into the black as he can, whilst simultaneously driving down the wage bill, so he can sell a (for now) Premiership team as a going concern. With reduced debts, lower out-goings and their huge fan base investors might be more tempted to buy.

Yeah he is. But still asking for absurd money, his thinking seems to be more in black = bigger price. True to an extent but he needs a team to keep them up as well which he is really running it close to the wire.

We still need another striker, a right winger, another CM and probably a LB when Enrique leaves. There are some decent youth players there but you need experience like Nolan/Barton to bring youth through.

As I say I respect what Cashley is trying to do with balancing the books but to my mind he's going far too overboard selling/cutting wage bill that it's hurting the squad and rooting them in the bottom half of the table.

The OP is talking about the reports that have come out since the statement earlier, suggesting he's been completely released now following his latest tweets.

This. It may well prove false but there are rumours going round the net and Newcastke that he has been conpletely released. Sure I heard talksport saying that as well but I may have misheard.

Latest reports say they have completely released him from the club.

Not that I like self quoting

Barton now saying he will only leave if it suits him.

So he betrays his true colours and shows what everyone knew, it's all about money. If someone wont give him the stupid money Newcastke are (even heard reports saying 80k a week ) he'll stay just to fill his pockets.

Shown his true colours once again. Not that we should be surprised.

He's a narcassistic **** who has too much spare time on his hands if he can spend it trawling google for quotes from people that troglodyte has never heard never mind read.

After the support he got in the ba d times from Newcastle his attitude in return is disgusting (if indicative of himself and most modern footballers)
