da winzada777： Kevin Nolan has urged former Newcastle United teammate Joey Barton to join him at West Ham, the Mirror reports.
da esoccer bet： The former Magpies captain moved to Upton Park in June after a falling out with the clubs hierarchy over a new contract.
Barton has also quarrelled with owner Mike Ashley after his outbursts on Twitter and is available to leave St James Park on a free transfer.
Nolan believes Barton needs to escape the tyranny on Tyneside and insists he’ll be appreciated more in East London.
“Would Joey Barton come here? Well, I came here, so I can’t see why Joey Barton would not come,” Nolan said.
“It is a massive club. The way he has been treated over the last couple of years, he is probably looking for an escape.
“He knows I’m here, he knows Sam [who signed Barton for Newcastle in June 2007] is here and what we are about – I can look after him and he can look after me!”
With a year left on his contract Barton could leave Newcastle before the transfer window closes.
It was current Hammers boss Sam Allardyce who signed him during his brief tenure on Tyneside but whether Barton would be prepared to drop down a division remains to be seen.
