Appearently Joey Barton is looking to moving to Europe with supposedly Roma and Athletico Madrid among other European powerhouses looking at him.
According to the Sun, the idea of heading overseas appeals to Barton
because it would take him away from the media microscope and potentially help
him to resurrect his international career Sources close to the player claim he has been inspired by Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves as an example of how playing in Europe is not a hindrance to getting into England boss Steve McClaren's plans.
Right.
So, Number of current England Squad currently playing in Europe: 1.
Number of current England Squad currently playing in England: 22
Number of current England Squad who are currently shit: 22
Joe--might want to rethink your strategy.
