I hate the Chel*** with a passion that is religious at times but we've played them 10 times since this kid has been playing football and won - twice? Most of them consider spurs or liverpool bigger rivals than us.

Yeah, all true. But from our side of the grass it's still very much real. Don't realistically expect the lad to care and good luck to him.
Anyway, you never know - three years from now FFP could have perished in the high courts and, under our diligent tutelage, Kane-o will be raking his studs down Ruben Loftus-Cheek's shin.

hoopdog, where did you read he was offered a new deal but chose to leave?
I read that some...plus read this from another QPR site.
Former Chelsea youth captain Todd Kane signs with QPR
After 17 years, countless loans, multiple accolades, a few key injuries, and one Champions League final trip, former Chelsea youth prospect and captain Todd Kane ended his association with the club earlier this summer by opting to not sign a new contract. Instead, the 25-year-old decided to test the market and today, has landed himself a three-year contract with nearby QPR.
The R’s confirmed the move on their website, with new manager Mark Warburton, formerly of also nearby Brentford and one of the key men behind the NextGen Series, which prompted UEFA to create the U19 Youth League, expressing his delight at the arrival of the marauding full back.
“Todd is a player who I’ve watched right throughout the academy system. He joined Chelsea at a young age and I watched his performances for Hull last season, where he showed his qualities as an attack-minded and technically-gifted full-back. He has a real desire to play the game with intensity, so we’re delighted to see him join us.”
-Mark Warburton; source: QPR FC Like many of our favorite youth prospects, Kane joined Chelsea at the under-8 level just after the turn of the millennium, but despite excelling and impressing at every level and even joining the traveling squad for the 2012 Champions League final in Munich as reward for winning the FA Youth Cup, he never quite managed to get over the hurdle of the Chelsea first-team.

But Kane suffered a torn ACL on the final day of the Eredivisie season, spent the next season on the sidelines and was still feeling the effects two seasons later, as it often tends to be the case with that terrible injury. (Meanwhile, Conte repurposed Victor Moses as a marauding right wing-back. One can only speculate how well Kane could’ve fit that role at least as a backup or rotational option.)
A True Blue through and through, Kane once would’ve been happy to sign a 10-year contract with Chelsea. Alas, football is a harsh business sometimes.
Kane will be turning 26 in September and is coming off of a solid season on loan at Hull City in the Championship. He previously spent time at Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City, Nottingham Forest, NEC Nijmegen, Groningen, and Oxford United.
At QPR, he will be expected to replace Darnell Furlong, who moved to Championship promotion hopefuls West Brom earlier in the week. QPR finished towards the other end of the second division table last season and will be looking to improve on that.
Think it was originally reported here as an aside. Hard to say whether it was because Lampard thought he might actually play him or if the club just wanted to milk him for loan fees until he retired.
" A True Blue through and through.." dread phrase.
I suggest he comes in on his day off for intense deprogramming sessions.

I'm worried. Todd Kane I'm sure is a high school jock/bully who treats his beautiful, sensitive girlfriend like crap and pushes nerds around. His Dad is also uber-strict, so there's that side to him. The coach of the gridiron team bullies him a bit too. He'll break down in tears at the QPR prom, his girlfriend will leave him for lovely lad Amos, but another girl will see beyond it all and help rehabilitate him.

Under the careful tutelage of his new squeeze, Daphne, Todd will blossom emotionally, including a moving scene at a local diving hole where he tearfully admits that he is dyslexic, and therefore is indeed the individual responsible for various mis-spelled epithets strewn around White City.
Daphne, she of heaving bosom and excessive do-goodery, will persuade Todd to confide in Coach Banfield who, being of the old school, will immediately cut Todd from the team-squad roster.
This will prompt another moving scene wherein each of his fellow seniors, led by team captain and All-American JimBob Cameroon, lines up to lay their soccer-field jersey on Coach Banfield's desk requesting that Todd be allowed to suit up for the final game of the schedule-season against the West Bromwich Bald Brunmies. Banfield will give in, all seething with cigar smoke and big-bellied good naturedness, and the Toddster will make the game tying block that secures a world record 14th place for The Rangers that season-year.
