Barton Set To Become Geordie Legend
Newcastle fans have had to suffer the heartless cowards such as Fereday, Pistone, Andersson, Maric, and Marcelino. Players always willing to skip a step towards a 50-50 tackle. Barton is the type of player who is never frightened to get hurt, and the 24-year-old has the stage to become a legend.
Barton's agent, Willie McKay, was on Tyneside this afternoon to open negotiations over a proposed £5.5m move to St James' Park.
The Magpies are hoping to tie up a deal swiftly with big-spending West Ham having also registered their interest in the player.
