Allardyce, who is also attempting to take Liverpool winger Stewart Downing to Upton Park, would love to reunite Barton with his former Newcastle team-mates Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan.
The trio were together when Big Sam was in charge at St James’ Park, Barton joining from Manchester City for £5.8million.
And misfit Barton, who spent last season on loan with Marseille in France, would jump at the chance of a return to the Premier League.
He is back at Loftus Road under manager Harry Redknapp, and played in yesterday’s draw at Huddersfield, but the 30-year-old believes he can still succeed in the top flight.
On his last Premier League appearance in May 2012, Barton was sent off at Manchester City and earned a 12-match ban.
WE TELL IT AS IT IS - NO BULLSHIT!
