No great surprise to hear such a story after the comment made by Joey about Man City last week? Rumours are of an incident in training. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/6612933.stm
it is ovbious that Barton wants to leave City after criticising them recently, this is another way of engineering a way out of the club. The bloke has serious issues, I thought he was just a bit naive at times but over the last few months he has confirmed himself to be a prise muppet. The thing is, will anybody want to take a risk on him (I am sure they will though), he is fast becoming another lee Bowyer.
Does look like the police will get invovled so will anyone want to buy Barton with a potential police investigation on the way? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6627567.stm
