He's made it clear he doesn't believe City can achieve anything, he's playing only to get himself the best move as possible.
There was a cluster in the South Stand who booed him throughout, and as you might have guessed, I'm fully behind them.
After Anelka, Fowler and now Barton, I'm sick of having players who don't want to play for us. Let's get some players in who actually want to wear the blue shirt and believe the club can achieve something.
Georgios Samaras made it clear he wants to be here and was putting it about after coming on. He's just the sort of player we need.
Not Barton, who even if he continues to play that well for the rest of his days in a City shirt, he will only be playing to further his own career.
If you want to go ahead cheering him, go ahead, but don't expect us all to join in.
