Sun running the story that Joey Barton has signed a two year deal.

 

I'd be pleased with that.

No pen to paper yet. He will be here within 48 hours for a medical. Not a done deal in my mind until he does sign the dotted line. He will be courted by other suitors over the next 48 hours.

I agree. Though I do get the impression with Barton that once he decides on something he isn't easily swayed away.

My cynical self whispered something this afternoon, saying that he might be looking for a better deal from Burnley and thus gives us some good feedback. Naughty cynical self of mine!

Tough decision but it's now made. Onwards and upwards from here.

SAF used to say before signing a player to check his 'attendance record' & Barton seems fine in that respect

Midfielder Joey Barton verbally agrees two-year deal with Rangers

The 33-year-old will join Mark Warburton's side in the next 48 hours.

 

 

Joey Barton has verbally agreed a two-year deal which will see the former Manchester City and England midfielder join Rangers.

 

The 33-year-old will put pen to paper on a contract with the Ibrox club in the next 48 hours, joining as a free agent from English Championship side Burnley.

 

Barton will join up with Rangers head of recruitment Frank McParland, who signed the midfielder whilst sporting director at Burnley.

 

The former Newcastle United and Queens Park Rangers man was in Glasgow earlier this month, visiting Murray Park and Ibrox ahead of the switch, with Mark Warburton looking to strengthen his squad before next season's Scottish Premiership campaign.

 

He strongly hinted at the move on Monday tweeting lyrics from Penny Arcade, a song closely associated with the Rangers support.

 

Barton will leave Burnley as a free agent despite helping the Turf Moor club secure promotion to the Premier League this season.

 

The former England international has also played for Newcastle United, Queens Park Rangers and Marseille.

 

Earlier on Monday, Rangers released Nicky Clark as they started their summer squad reshuffle.
