Joey Barton- QPR to Crystal Palace
Barton has been a frustrating figure for many in English football. He possesses some excellent qualities, such as a good work rate and the ability to make others play to their potential. However, Barton has a history of disciplinary problems and this has blighted his career. Barton spent last season on loan at French club Marseille after burning several bridges during his time at QPR. The midfielder is now back at Loftus Road but he looks set to leave before the transfer window closes. The Hoops desperately want to cut their wage bill and feel that selling Barton would be a good opportunity to do that.
Barton also looks like he wants to leave Loftus Road as he isn’t content with life in the Championship. Several Premier League clubs have been linked with Barton, most recently Crystal Palace. The Eagles have lost their opening two Premier League games and manager Ian Holloway is desperate to bring in some quality players before the transfer window closes. Barton has plenty of experience in the Premier League and could be a huge asset to a club fighting for its survival in the top flight.
