Joey Barton signed for Newcastle United for £5.8 million in May 2007 after his controversial exit from Manchester City. He is a forward-thinking midfield player who can score important goals and is among a number of new faces brought in by the new manager Sam Allardyce. Joey is often in the news off the pitch due to his bad behaviour.




"The people I am going to work with have the ambitions to match mine and I hope this is the start of a successful era for myself and the club."

"I have always admired Sam from afar. The job he did at Bolton was just phenomenal." - Joey Barton
