Caulker to Saints on 16:18 - Jul 29 by QPR1882 | Did we not get rid of Danny Simpson at the start of last season ? seems we have history in shooting ourselves in the foot defensively. |
We got rid of Damion Stewart under Warnock and the board here had an absolute meltdown, that turned out to be a good move as well. As long as the players going are replaced we'll be ok | | | |

Danny Simpson's replacement did a cracking job last season...oh wait... Caulker going was clearly inevitable if came down to wages, so why on earth did we not get ahead of it and get someone in? Also the Harriman decision is still a real head scratcher for me. Seems pretty shambolic at the moment, here's hoping a few swift transfers in prove me wrong. | | | |

Isla did ok last season but any sale looks bad if the replacement is poor. Still not sure on Harriman, if he had stayed plenty would be saying we still need a right back so don't think him going has made much of a difference. It's a bit of chicken and egg at the moment, the club couldn't be sure someone was going to take Caulker or the others so probably waiting until they go and we have the money before we sign the replacements rather than signing the replacements then the players don't actually go and we are left with a bloated squad again. | | | |

Les saying on the offish that they're working to a proper budget - it may well be that we weren't allowed to get someone until Caulker was off the bill. I'm clutching there, but it could be part of it. Let's see where we are in a week. | |

True , that's all we can do. But i'm pretty sure part of our new philosophy included better preparation and they mentioned having lists of targets whether we stayed up or went down. Then they talked about getting targets in early. This week TF says no fire sale, when two days later Les says basically we have to get players off the books. Just very disappointing that the new era is very much like the old era i guess. | | | |

My guess is they assumed Charlie and or Phillips would have been sold by now freeing up money - that's not happened and we need to bring players in. It might be that to get any other business done we had to give this the green light. | |

They did get 6 players in early, I don't think there is a club in this country who has a settled squad at the moment, everyone looking to add players in and will do until September 1st. Only way to stop that is to have the window shut a week before the season starts so the football season is about the football rather than transfer speculation. | | | |

Caulker to Saints on 16:33 - Jul 29 by Northernr | Well I'm sure we can agree it would be better than ned and nobody which is what we're shaping up for at this precise moment. |
I first read that as...Ned and Noddy...0bviously the defence or lack of it, is not shaping up.. Next week or so will hopefully see the obvious gaps filled. | | | |

To be fair - they got a lot of targets in early. they were never going to get 10 new players in by the start of July - that's just not possible. But totally agree, we should have seen at least one defender by now and what Les says does fly in the face of what TF said. | |

Fernandes said no fire sale but if clubs meet our valuations then we should sell them | | | |

F@ck me, are you angling for a job at the club? Maybe you work for the club already? But if QPR sold Austen for £2m on the day before the season started you'd put some nauseating positive spin on it!! | |

When you are a coach with limited experience and are given a chance like he has been given, you don't go around asking for a sizeable transfer budget. You won't hear him complain about the situation. | | | |

don't work at the club and don't want to either. Not putting any spin on it all but this is a long term plan so going to take a while. If we're only going to give it three games to work then it won't work. | | | |

Isn't it about time we had a decent scouting system that were aware of all the quality players in the lower leagues? | | | |

The no fire sale comment is to make sure we get a good price for players. The new era seems nothing like the old to me. We need to get rid of a load of the inherited players before we can do some of things under the new philosophy. | | | |
