Still through Twitter, Barton had claimed that the club fined two week's worth of salary. Both Barton and Newcastle did not explain the reasons for fines imposed.
"Joey is a great player and you definitely want to have great players on the team," said Pardew, whose team will serve in the first game Arsenal English Premier League, 13 August.
"It is important for a football club to move together toward one goal. At this time, Joey did not move to one common goal," said Pardew.
