Always expecting something like this to happen when you read that a player has had a medical but they're "looking to wrap up the deal by the end of the weekend".
Why would that even be announced? Surely it just invites outside interest.
Surprising he didn't hi-jack the Brown deal, seeing as he can have the pick of the Man U youngsters on loan. Unless Brown's shite...good job he's been a rock in our preseason games, otherwise I'd have my suspicions. Oh, wait..
This came out on Thurs evening that Posh might be in the race but during this time Barton was at Ryton. Ferguson is his old boss and is bit of a stupid story.
Barton was at the game yesterday so deal will be wrapped up.
