Barton ready to fire for NewcastleNewcastle United bound midfielder Joey Barton has promised to deliver for his new club.
Barton said: “I am not proud of some of the things I have done. I have brought a lot of my problems on myself.
“Now I want to be a winner not only for myself but for the fans.
“I have heard it said that footballers are all about flash cars and expensive watches.
"But for me it’s all about winning medals and it hurts me that I haven’t any.”
Asked if he had considered any rival bids, Barton added: “I’ve given my word to Newcastle United and that’s where I hope I will be going.
“Everybody knows they are a club of great history and tradition and this is great.
"But what has also been great is they’ve pushed the boat out for me and both Freddy Shepherd and Sam Allardyce have made me feel so wanted.”
