Joey Barton's agent takes the blame for midfielder's late arrival at training with Queens Park Rangers Barton is on a contract worth around £70,000 a week at QPR and Redknapp believes that the 30-year-old wants to be compensated if he does join Marseille. "He wants to go to Marseille and he did very well there last year, but he's got two years left of his deal here," said Redknapp. I think he's looking for the club to give him a payday here and then he'll go. I don't know how it's all going to end. He was sent the same information as every other player - that was to report for training on Monday. Barton said that he had enjoyed his double training session at QPR on Wednesday and wrote that he was "surprised" by his own level of fitness. "Still a machine," he said on Twitter. With Barton's future still uncertain, Redknapp has made an ambitious move to add Scott Parker, who he signed for Tottenham, to his central midfield. Although it is thought that Tottenham would accept an offer of around £2 million, there would be doubts over whether Parker would want to drop down into the Championship, especially as he is still in contention for the England squad ahead of next summer's World Cup. Redknapp also admitted that he would evaluate his own future if he does not take QPR straight back to the Premier League. "If we don't make it I really won't be happy with what I've done and will have to look at what I do in the future," he said. For my own satisfaction, I have really got to get them up this year, that's where I'm at. I think we have a big chance.
