City reject Barton transfer request
Manchester City have rejected a written transfer request from their player of the season so far, Joey Barton. The highly-rated midfielder has been discussing a new contract at Eastlands with City boss Stuart Pearce keen to continue tying down his best players to fresh terms. It is believed that Barton has been disappointed with the level of pay being offered by the City of Manchester outfit.
Sources claim the 23-year-old has made his feelings known by officially handing in a request to move away from the club. Pearce was confident his midfield terrier would commit his future to the club this week but it seems as though there is much work to be done before a positive conclusion to the talks is reached.
City have rejected the request and City boss Pearce still wants him at the club. I am a City fan and I am not at all happy. Man City stook by the player after two incidents last year were City could of sacked but instead they stook by him, and I think Barton owes it to the club to stay.

It is a strange move by Barton as it is hardly as though last ditch negotiations failed between him and the club.
Factor in that he had little over 24 hours to negotiate a move (if the club had agreed the request) it strikes as a hasty and ill-timed move by Barton.
