I see Joey Barton only had a one Year Contract at Burnley! As he has done a great Job for Burnley is he worth another Contract at QPR. That's if Burnley don't offer him another Year extension?

Think Burnley will keep him and don't think we can afford him.

Really?
"There are few better personifications of the differences between the two clubs than Burnley’s Player of the Year elect, one Joey Barton. Everybody’s favourite political commentator spent four years at QPR during which time he, in no particular order: appeared on an indie music show denouncing the performance of a team mate who’d been outstanding before he arrived; was sent off in a crucial relegation six pointer at Hull for grabbing the testicles of an opponent; was sent off in a crucial promotion six pointer with Leicester for a combination of dissent and fighting with Gary Taylor Fletcher; was sent off in one of the most important games the club has ever faced for punching Carlos Tevez in the head after which he then started attacking other Manchester City players on his way off the field; was sent off in a crucial relegation six pointer at home to Norwich for aiming some sort of headbutt at Bradley Johnson; spent 20 minutes of an appearance on the unofficial QPR podcast moaning about the bonus structure he was expected to adhere to at Newcastle United; openly gloated about how much better training was under Mark Hughes immediately after the harsh sacking of Neil Warnock, one of only two managers to promote QPR to the top division in the last three decades; used his social media account to attack Rodney Marsh, one of QPR’s greatest ever players, while playing in a team that was bottom of the league; appeared on Question Time where he compared the choice of political parties at the general election to the choice of ugly women in a poor nightclub; said prior to QPR’s relegation, which occurred while he was on loan in the South of France, that he absolutely would not be going to the Championship with his parent club only to end up there because nobody else wanted him; openly touted for a move to Everton when it became clear Marseille didn’t want him permanently; set a club record for yellow cards in consecutive games (seven) and received 24 yellow cards across his final two seasons for the club resulting in three separate suspensions; appeared on Sky Sports after relegation was confirmed once again denouncing team mates and claiming there were bad apples in the changing room, prompting Graeme Souness to wonder aloud what on earth the captain had been doing all season and why he’d only felt the need to speak up once the club had already gone down…
Most importantly, having insisted on taking every single corner and free kick awarded to QPR while he was on the field for three years he succeeded in scoring just seven times (only one from a direct free kick, at Reading) and picking up 11 assists.
And yet still, despite all this, QPR made him their captain, and there are still supporters of the club now who’ll give it the “well at least he tried” bollocks. That’s how low our standards have been over the past few years."
Many thanks to Clive Whittingham for the summary of Barton's career at QPR.

Would I want Joey back at QPR, no not for me.
However, would he improve our team, 100 % yes and probably sort our meek and mild defence/midfield out, the one that squandered a lead more than any other team. Note- Burnley the complete opposite to QPR, they go in the lead and dont lose from that position.

Worst thing Barton done was have a say in the clubs running and appointments. Which he did.
