Man City have finally lost patience with Joey Barton. The club will unload the outspoken, bottom-baring troublemaker because, frankly, he’s more trouble than he’s worth – and right now, purely as a footballing asset, he’s worth quite a lot to City – at least £6m I’d say.
Now the usual mid-table Prem clubs, who prefer to rely on English graft rather than continental skill – Newcastle and Everton spring immediately to mind – will no doubt be making contact with Barton’s agent very soon, if they haven’t already done so. [Photo: Getty Images]
