Joey Barton - new club speculation, summer 2015

[MattyRangers]

I don't think he was exactly signing our praises when he left for Marseille.

Good point! But we hadn't thrown a bottle of coke at him like Burnley fans have

[Ramsey is god]

He'd be a very good signing for any chpionship team on a years deal.

Would of done a job for us this year and we should of negotiated hard and signed him back up. His experience alongside faurlin and his tanacity for the game would of been priceless.

I think there is a reason he hasnt found a club yet. will be demanding too high wages

[West London is Rss]

He got hit with a bottle at their place didn't he?

If Burnley do pull off signing Barton then i would put them down as being in the Automatics for promotion.
What with Gray now as well.

Burnley using their parachute money wisely! We seem to be saving all of ours!

No chance.

To him that's almost like a handshake

Would have been good if we could have kept him but you never know what was going on in the club and how much he wanted salary wise.

I would guess we have spent more then them overall

You may be right there... Think they've only signed Andre Gray this season?

[West London is Rss]

Dyche confirmed they are in talks this afternoon apparently... He's said deal is possibility and talks have been going on for 8 weeks

[West Acton]

He lives local and can't be paying him huge sum I would wait for them to do deal then match it

According to one site, with the Gray signing Burnley have spent about 10mil. QPR have spent about 8M. Add in Sterling, Mutch and McCarthy cash and QPR are about 8M up right now. It doesn't appear we're going to use that surplus to bring anyone in. Of course we still have Sandro, Fer, Green, Toilet all supposedly on big money.

If we keep Fer, Austin and Phillips until at least January we have strong team while making 8M profit in the market and also cut the wage bill massively which is good business all around.

It's taken this long as secret negotiations have been taking place on Twitter between #bigmouthjoe and #derderdyche

Done and dusted

Great signing by them.

Like Ramsey but should of kept barton in the championship. Will be amassovely asset to them in this league and with us letting him go has now strengthened a rival.
