ian1964 10,625 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Joey Barton is set to re-sign for Burnley on a short-term deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance. The 34-year-old has been training with the Clarets to build up his fitness after leaving Scottish Premiership club Rangers in mid-November. He left Burnley in May after helping them win the Championship title. Barton joined Rangers on a free transfer in the summer but only made seven appearances for the club. The former Manchester City, Newcastle and Queens Park Rangers had his contract with the Ibrox outfit terminated following a training-ground altercation in September. Barton was given a one-match suspension for breaking Scottish Football Association rules on gambling during his time north of the border. The ban will apply in the Premier League because of an agreement between the home nations. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38385688 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,460 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Can't see him getting much game time there. Burnley brought in a few players in the summer & have done reasonably well this season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'd have thought he had served the ban 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,299 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Maybe this will bring closure to hearing about him on the forum. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 We obviously spent a bit of money from a tight budget to get hold of the guy. He was a complete waste of money. I couldn't care less where he went to or how he's doing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,460 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Only in special circumstances should we be signing players over 30 years old. We need to have a squad of players with each with resale values 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Only in special circumstances should we be signing players over 30 years old.We need to have a squad of players with each with resale values Especially when we were fed on the promise of youngsters being grazed, fed and sold leading to club income when sold. Then again, maybe that was the media touching our erses up yet again. I for one was disappointed when Barton appeared on our radar. There was absolutely no need for a challenge this season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Barton should be embarrassed. He yapped away and didn't walk the talk. Does anyone thing he will play well in the Premier League? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
