He showed at Burnley what he can do but more often than not he'll cost you & I'm not sure if he's liked by the dressing rooms he's been in, is he actually respected in a positive way by team-mates? I don't know..
He's not having a good week... An investigation's begun into claims Joey Barton has gambled on football matches: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37416523
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/19/joey-barton-interview-conflict-rangers Beyond parody. Hilarious pictures. Full of self-importance.
Celtic chairman denies this, say Barton agent called them to say Barton preferred to join Celtic rather than Rangers, but was told Celtis weren't interested.
I cant imagine Joseph would be that stupid to say this in the current circumstances if he didnt at least think it was true. Therefore, I smell an agent rat here and he probably called Celtic himself without Barton's knowledge or instruction and then told his client that Celtic were interested.
Well, it is probably the normal media/football scenario lies and more lies, so we will probably never know the truth.
