when the rumors are that Spurs and Arsenal are in for him, and at this point that's probably 2 of the best 3 midfields in the league, it's saying something
Newcastle aren't in position to give him away for free, even though he was clearly a massive tw@t

It sort of does make sense, Barton isnt all hes cracked up to be. I like him personally, and he was one of their best players last season although I'd probably slot Carroll and Nolan in ahead of him.
Spurs and Arsenal can have him as far as I'm concerned, the guy wastes too many opportunities and too much possession. On those squads he wont be seeing too much first team time, and if he is I think thats more of an indictment of the quality of the rest of the midfield rather than a praise of his skill.
Although, they certainly shouldnt be just letting him walk, you'd think he'd have at least some value.
