Sheff Utd want to move RND on permanently. I don't think they'll be too interested in loaning him out again and certainly not while part funding his wages as they did last season, now that their parachute payments have finished. |
I look forward to being informed by Football League World that we are “winning the race” to sign him. |  | | |

No one is paying that silly money for him, they may no option but to loan him cut price to us again. |
How do we know how much they want for him?? |  | | |

Accept others saw more in him that I did but just didnt see all that much in RND.
One goal and one assist was it? | | | |

If we are getting Kemper, why do we need RND? Use the money more wisely.
If RND is avaialble ona free maybe, but i would rather splash the cash on Tickle | |

What AI thinks of the Boy…
If QPR complete the move, I would classify Boy Kemper as a sensible Championship signing rather than a high-upside star signing.
Recent reports indicate QPR have agreed a three-year deal for the 26-year-old Dutch left-back after his season with NAC Breda in the Eredivisie.
What kind of player is he?
Kemper is an old-school left-back:
* Physically strong (1.85m)
* Aggressive in duels
* Good work rate and leadership qualities (NAC captain)
* Decent crosser and set-piece contributor
* Not especially quick
* Not particularly elegant in possession compared with modern attacking full-backs
Dutch supporters frequently describe him as hard-working, combative and annoying to play against—in a positive sense if he’s on your team. Several Eredivisie fans specifically suggested his style could translate reasonably well to Championship football.
How good was he in the Eredivisie?
His 2025-26 season was surprisingly productive for a defender:
* 32 league appearances
* 2,800+ minutes
* 5 goals
* 3 assists
* NAC’s captain and regular starter
For a left-back on a lower-table side, those attacking numbers are strong.
Statistically, Kemper’s output (5 goals, 3 assists) was above average for Eredivisie left-backs, but scouts generally don’t view him as one of the league’s most technically gifted or dynamic full-backs. His reputation is built more on reliability, physicality and mentality than elite attacking creation.
My estimate is that he was probably somewhere around the top 8-12 left-backs in the Eredivisie last season, rather than top 3-5. The attacking returns flatter him somewhat because they don’t fully capture technical limitations that have kept bigger Dutch clubs from moving for him earlier.
Will he be good for QPR?
I’d lean yes, provided expectations are realistic.
Reasons it could work:
* Championship suits physical, aggressive defenders.
* QPR need stability at left-back.
* He arrives at 26, so he’s in his prime.
* Leadership experience as club captain.
* Comes with hundreds of senior appearances in Dutch football.
Potential concerns:
* Pace against quick Championship wingers.
* Adaptation to the intensity and schedule.
* Limited upside compared with younger, more athletic prospects.
* May not provide the progressive ball-carrying modern managers often want.
Overall verdict
For a club targeting the Championship play-off places, I’d rate the signing around 7/10.
He’s unlikely to become one of the division’s best full-backs, but he looks like the type of experienced, competitive player who can give QPR 40+ solid games. If QPR supporters are expecting a future Premier League star, they’ll probably be disappointed. If they’re expecting a dependable starter who improves the squad immediately, there’s a good chance he’ll deliver. | | | |

They want his wages off the books, and no one is paying that in the Champ, we didn't even on loan. |  |

I’ve no idea what he’s on but if someone is offering a bit less but 2-3 years rather than the one he has left then he’d be wise to take it at 27. I’d rather that wasn’t us and that we take a chance on the boy Boy but RND feels very Preston/Bolton. | | | |

For me it’s simply that we will not be trying to have a season with Lakerche and Esqerdinha at left back. This does show club recognised the issue and seems to have addressed it cheaply. Now onto goalie! | | | |

If this is accurate, I would be happy enough. Any player who can do 40 odd games is a bonus. Gives some physicality and strength which we lack generally. Maybe not the quickest but if deployed sensibly - for example with Smyth in front of him- he looks okay to me. | | | |

Even with 'The Boy', there would still be a lack of experience and championship nouse in the place. |  |

I'd be happy with the Boy too, but I think it's worth pointing out that clubs in the Eredivisie league play 34 games a season, in which he played 32 matches. Whether he can do 40 league games plus the cups (I know, I know) remains to be seen. |  | | |
| Summer transfer rumours 2026 on 10:08 - Jun 16 with 3956 views | BazzaInTheLoft |
Seems like a sensible signing to me, but I also liked Bidwell/Paal/RND and they got plenty of criticism.
I think we need to be realistic sometimes about what sort of fullback we are capable of attracting. | | | |

Stands a lot better chance than Trippier who's on 10x his salary and 10 years older in Sept. |  | | |

We had all of the ‘can’t play most of the season’ with RND and he played most of the season. Surely we need two decent first team options for every position anyhow so they can be rotated. |  | | |

On the topic - I think Boy Kemper on a free looks like a really clever signing. Decent attacking output (he can cross, shock horror) but also physically imposing and an experienced grown up with leadership credentials.
We need a few 'men' (c) McLaren to go with our boys, and Boy could be The Man. |  |

If we do sign Kemper it'll be him and Larkeche on the left and another player to go with Mbengue on the right.
Who knows what we'll do with Esquerdinha and Adamson who are nowhere near cutting it in the Championship yet. | | | |

Boy Kemper signing looks good, 6ft 1inch, need big fxxkers in this division, especially at the back. Hopefully at last our management etc. are seeing that midget united don't get anywhere. Time and again at LR have watched these giants of teams just snuff us out. |  | | |

AI - Yes many on here are very very anti it and see it as from the devil Himself !!!
It very often guesses in the free versions of its systems.
But for the paid versions it can analyse and assess things quite accurately and dependent on how you prompt it, determines the actual validity of its output.
It still relies on humans using their intuition, but it will become more human in its assessments and have a greater ability to use its own intuitions that become more and more based on human emotions also.
The rate of progress is amazing, dangerous and frightening all at the same time.
When it can turn Queens Park Rangers into Champions League winners, thats the day i completely lose all my faculties, although some may say, that has happened already.
But i personally not totally against people posting it sometimes as added analysis or as a general viewpoint on players etc. People can read it or ignore, if they dont want to read it.
Simple solution.
Anyhow i asked AI to come up with good targets up front and it came up with Katie Price - and i thought thats AI slop - not for me !!!! |  |

D) AI searches use 10x the energy of a standard Google search. (other search engines are available, like Ecosia, which plants trees based on your usage). |  |
