Joey Barton- QPR to Marseille
Barton has had an incredibility controversial career, often being in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Following his sending off on the last day of the 2011/2012 season, Barton was sent on loan to Marseille in disgrace but enjoyed his time in France. However, his loan move has now finished meaning he is back with QPR, who are no longer in the Premier League following their relegation.
It appears that Barton’s return to QPR will be short lived, with the club looking to get Barton off their books in a bid to trim their wage bill. A move back to Marseille appears to be the best option for Barton and the French club are reportedly interested in having the midfielder back on a permanent basis. The midfielder himself has said that he would rather move to Everton, who he supported as a boy. However, that seems unlikely, with many at the Toffees reluctant to bring Barton due to his reputation for causing trouble. Not even his willingness to take a pay cut will see him at Goodison Park next season, meaning a move to Marseille is much more likely.
