Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has shrugged off losing fullback Jose Enrique to Liverpool.
Enrique completed his move to Liverpool yesterday.
Asked about the Enrique situation, Pardew said: "He was in the last year of his contract and he made it clear he didn't really have any motivation to re-sign here.
"He's got the move he wanted and we have to move on, and we will."
PSV Eindhoven's Erik Pieters is understood to be among a series of targets, although Pardew, who has also been linked with strikers Eren Derdiyok and Nicklas Bendtner, was refusing to name names.
He will also make a late decision on Barton ahead of Saturday's opening day Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal after seeking assurances over the player's commitment.
Pardew said: "I have said to Joey that he won't play for me and I won't include him unless I think he is pulling for us.
"I know if Joey turns round to me and says that is what he is going to do, then he will do that. He is in the process of weighing up what he feels he needs to do."
