Barton transfer listed !

Newcastle United have made Joey Barton available on a free transfer after placing the midfielder on the transfer list. 

The 28-year-old has just a year left on his current deal, and he has been unable to agree fresh terms with the club.

Barton has also been left disappointed by the Magpies' transfer policy and has criticised them heavily on his Twitter account.

Now Newcastle have decided that his future does lie away from Tyneside and have made him available on a free transfer.
