Barton, who is currently on loan with Marseille tweeted; “Think he’s decided to stay put mate.  We’re all happy as he’s a big player for us and we’re trying to win the league.”

The France International’s former agent Frederic Guerra has also had his say on the matter, telling French radio station RMCsport that all Remy can hope to do if he joined Newcastle is to earn money – without winning any trophies.

He said; “Over there they’ll take the money and nothing more.  It’s been years since Newcastle have won anything.”

The French club are joint-top of the French league with three clubs on 38 pts.
