Going for a medical now, still no contract offer from NUFC.......think that just about makes my mind up Don't want to leave Newcastle........I've made that clear but my hands are tied.

Our previous write up on the Joey Barton transfer to QPR can be read HERE. And my thoughts about Barton as a player HERE. What do Newcastle fans make of this?
