'It was the first time in my life that I had taken a decision for money - but I did not feel good about it' says Hoops bad boy http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/joey-barton-reveals-he-only-joined-1455809 Joey Barton last night admitted he only joined QPR for the money â and there will be no way back for the bad-boy midfielder under new boss Harry Redknapp, writes the Sunday People. The Hoopsâ manager has a reputation for kick-starting the careers of footballâs troubled souls â but Barton has burnt all of his bridges at Loftus Road and his year-long loan to Marseille contains no call-back option. Click here to read more stories from the Sunday People Adel Taarabt is now likely to join Barton out of the exit door, after being frozen out by Redknapp during his Spurs days. But keeper Rob Green will now be handed an unlikely lifeline by Redknapp â who tried to sign him on three occasions at White Hart Lane. Yet there is no chance of Barton playing for QPR again after his admission that he only left Newcastle for the Hoops last year for the cash. Barton, who will make his league debut for Marseille against Lille tonight after a 12-match ban, said: âWhen I went to QPR it was a choice dictated by money. I didnât like what I had done, and I swore Iâd never do that again. âIt was the first time in my life that I had taken a decision for money. I did it because my partner was due to give birth â but I did not feel good about it. Bad-boy Barton said: âThe more money you have, the more problems you have. When I was in prison I got £7 a week, and that was simpler â youâd use the £7 to buy food and that was it.â Taarabt has told pals he is seeking a return to French football, believing he has no chance of figuring regularly under his former Spurs boss. The talented, but inconsistent, midfielder had scored some important goals under sacked boss Mark Hughes and is popular with most fans â but days could now be numbered. Yet keeper Green is likely to return before long â after last summerâs free transfer from West Ham to Loftus Road had turned into a nightmare. Green agreed a deal only for Hughes to sign Brazilian keeper Julio Cesar from Inter Milan just weeks later and freeze out the England man.
Pretty presumptuous to think that Adel will be frozen out. Rubbish. How long ago was that?? Redknapp will wipe the slate clean for everyone, he said so himself and he even said Adel had matured a lot.
how many of the long range shots or close up ones would green save cesar is way above green in class the only thing he can hope for is cesar being injured
Complete and utter bs. Green is only going to get back in the line up if cesar gets injured and Harry been a pundit this season so will have seen taarabts performances and he got the pleasure last year of watching taarabt beat him single handedly at loftus road
