Barton had been rumoured to be joining the team on a six-month loan deal.

The 29-year-old was left at home by boss Mark Hughes from Rangers’ pre-season tour of Asia because of a 12-match ban he picked up at the end of last season.
He will instead join up with Fleetwood on Thursday for their trip to Scotland to keep fit during his exclusion from the squad.
He tweeted: 'Looking forward to training with Fleetwood Town for the week. Will get a much needed sweat on.
'Still have 3 years left at QPR. Exciting times for the club, which I intended to be part of. Need to get some fitness in the meantime.
'Fleetwood are a young club going places. 5 promotions already in the last few years. If I help some of their young players, great.'
