Joey Barton admits he is yet to hold direct talks with the possible free agent signing for Bristol Rovers he alluded to a week ago, and the Gas manager does not believe a deal will go through.
Barton has confirmed several times since the end of the transfer window that he is open to adding a free agent forward to his squad, with several places available in his group under the EFL's 22-man squad limit rule.
A week ago, Barton revealed he had been made aware of the possibility of a signing and he intended to hold talks to explore it further, but no progress has been made since.
