QPR players have welcomed the arrival of Joey Barton from Newcastle United.
There are certainly enough "characters" in the ranks to keep Barton company although one of them, the colourful goalkeeper Paddy Kenny, certainly sounded a welcoming note in the direction of the Merseysider.
"I just think he's a good player," Kenny said. "You have to have good players in the Premier League and he wouldn't be signing for us if he hadn't got some baggage, if he hadn't got any baggage then he would be in the England team and at a top-four club. But I don't worry about that at my stage of my career.
"I don't think he's got any problems on the field. I think we've all done things when we were younger that we regret."
