Marseille coach Elie Baup is weighing up where to play new QPR loan signing Joey Barton.

He's keeping his personal focus on how best to eventually use Barton, with the Liverpudlian likely to partner Benoit Cheyrou in a deep-lying central midfield pair.

Baup said: "I am only concerned with his playing time, how he sees the game and in what position he will be most useful.

"I think he will be have most to offer in a role like Cheyrou in the right-sided central position."
