We won’t buy a keeper, we have three of our own. Nandi and Hamer will move on. Walsh will start as first choice with Cooper as back up. Both are now getting Championship experience. That position may rotate depending on form. We do need to buy a LB and a back-up RB. If Field gets sold, we need a quality CDM. If Madsen gets sold we need a quality ball-playing midfielder. If we retain both, Varane should be sold. Well stocked with forwards/wingers. Bennie needs to go out on loan |
I also think they’ll keep Walsh next season. Keep Hamer on another loan or a very cheap buy and promote Salamon as No3. Cooper to be sold. You heard it here first. |  |

I wonder if Wednesday will put in a bid for Cooper. The fans seemed to really take to him. Shame he got injured and needed surgery. |  | | |

Hamer's ours, Beckenham. He joined us as he was out of contract. |  |

Highly likely with Walsh.
They will think, we have put a season into him now, let's hope for an improvement in his second season.
My issue is, he has an injury in him once a season and he has some issues which I just don't see improving (Footwork, kicking and he should catch alot more than he does). His kicking puts us on the backfoot so much and for a team that doesn't want the football, it's sometimes fatal. |  | | |

If they keep Joe Walsh as our number 1 they're blind and know nothing about goalkeepers.
Can someone please name one stand out talent or attribute he is supposed to have?
I think you'll struggle.
Lovely chap, loves his mum, bad goalkeeper. Sorry. |  |

I’d be surprised if Pierce Charles stays at Wednesday next season so there could be an opening. No idea if they’ll have money to spend. Mind you, who wants to join a club with a possible 18 point penalty incoming? | |

Both Walsh and Cooper signed long-term new contracts last summer. Neither goes without being bought and QPR will not be signing a number one keeper unless Walsh leaves, on loan or otherwise.
They keep telling you that they are running a development club. They have two keepers they are way into developing to be number ones. I think people have to listen to them. If they sign a keeper now to play ahead of Walsh after his first full season, the whole artifice crumbles. (regardless if I think he's not up to it or not). | | | |

The only doubt I have is that they did sign Hayden, RND and Edwards as well, so the plan has changed in the past. | |

SUMMER TRANSFER DEALINGS ACCORDING TO AI
In the summer of 2026, QPR’s transfer strategy will be defined by the "Sell to Reinvest" model. Under Christian Nourry, the club has moved away from letting assets depreciate, meaning players nearing the final year of their contracts or those whose "data" has peaked will be marketed aggressively.
Based on current contract statuses and the regime's tactical evolution, here are the likely departures for the Summer 2026 window.
1. The Big Fee Departures
These are the players who have performed well but reached a valuation ceiling where the club feels they can maximize profit to fund multiple arrivals.
Player Position Reason for Leaving Likely Fee Received
ILIAS CHAIR AM After years of service, 2026 feels like the "now or never" window for a move to a top-flight European league or a promotion-chasing rival. £6m – £8m
Valuation more like £2m - £3m...
JONATHAN VARANE DM Heavily linked with moves to Ligue 1 (St. Etienne) in Jan '26. If his form is consistent, the club will look to capitalize on his high reputation in France. £4.5m – £5.5m
Would hope £6m to £7m..
NICOLAS MADSEN CM A data-driven success story. If he hits double-digit goal contributions, a move to the bottom half of the Premier League or Bundesliga is likely.£5m - £6m
Would keep myself
2. Contract Expiries (Free Agents)
The regime is comfortable letting older players walk to clear the wage bill for younger, high-intensity profiles.
PAUL NARDI (GK): With his contract expiring in June 2026 and rumors of a "goalkeeping refresh," Nardi is expected to depart on a Free Transfer, likely returning to France.
STEVE COOK (CB): At 34/35, the club will likely transition to a younger, faster defensive line. Expected to leave on a Free Transfer or take a coaching-hybrid role elsewhere.
Offer that to him here.
ISAAC HAYDEN (DM): Following his permanent stay, his high wages and age make a contract renewal unlikely. Expected to leave on a Free Transfer.
Cheerio Sir
PAUL SMYTH (RW): A useful squad player, but as QPR targets high-ceiling wingers like Kwame Poku, Smyth may move to a League One side for more starts. Free Transfer.
Madness to sell him but also dont agree he would leave on a free...
3. Strategic "Flipping" of Assets
Under the Belk/Nourry model, players bought for low fees from secondary markets are moved on quickly if they show high growth.
Player Position Reason for Leaving Likely Fee Received
JAKE CLARKE SALTER CB - Entering the final year of his deal in 2026. Given his injury history vs. his high technical floor, QPR will likely sell to avoid losing him for free in 2027. £1.5m – £2.5m
ZIYAD LARKECHE LB
If he hasn't claimed the starting spot over new signings, his profile (young, French-trained) remains highly sellable to Ligue 2 or Belgian clubs. £800k – £1.2m
SAM FIELD DM - Following his loan move to Norwich in early 2026, a permanent departure is the most logical conclusion to clear space for the "Varane-style" athletic pivots. £2m – £3m
4. Loan Return
While not "sales," these departures significantly impact squad depth:
Rhys Norrington-Davies (LB): Expected to return to his parent club or seek a permanent move elsewhere if QPR doesn't trigger a buy option.
Summary of Potential Revenue
If QPR executes this "refresh," they could reasonably expect to generate £18m – £25m in total sales. This capital is essential for Nourry to pursue the "Project 2026" targets: younger, faster players with significantly lower wage demands but higher resale ceilings. [Post edited 8 Apr 14:21]

Ok.
So I forgot Jake Clarke-Salter existed.
I literally just forgot.
Is he injured again?
If so, his injury record is the worst I've ever known of any QPR player and that includes Matt Rose. It's ludicrous. | |

Agreed. There is so much utter bollix in that assessment. Just a few, below, IMHO
The expected valuations of sales are highly ambitious. Inconsistent Varane and currently injured Madsen? Seriously?
Is JCS going to be in the last year of his contract?
Is Chair going to be worth that much when he's been out for much of the season, and remains out currently.
Nardi going - almost certainly. On a free.
Cook going - seems likely
Hayden - not so sure
Field - going but not for £2m+
And the total coming in is dependent on all those outgoings achieving top valuations. [Post edited 8 Apr 16:02]

Our company put us through two days of it and one of the guys that took a session taught us how to bully it into changing it's answer.
Ask it how many goals Paul Smyth has scored this season and assuming it gets it right to start with (which sometimes it won't) then with the right prompts you can harangue it into changing its mind and giving you another, wrong, answer.
It's largely slop, and it's scary/depressing how many sensible, grown up, intelligent people are just asking it to do their thinking/research/writing for them. | | | |

Lovely chap, loves his mum, bad goalkeeper. Sorry. |
I can think of only one attrubite.... he's young for a Goalkeeper.
My gut feeling is he'll remain as number one next season.
I also think Mbengue will keep the number 3 / RB slot as first choice.
That's a minimum of 15 points lost there.... I'd possibly push it to 21 points but the sun is shining and I'm in a good mood.
In terms of stand out Championship GK's - the one's that get you promoted, to the play offs or keep you away from 16th and below - they need to be one's you look bang on at the end of May and say "he earned us nine points on his own this season". Those are rarely one's straight out of Dev Squads and have earned their stripes elsewhere at lower levels. |  |

I won't derail the thread any further but I've just tried ChatGPT for myself on this.
Here's how it went...
How many goals has Paul Smyth got for QPR this season?
For Paul Smyth at Queens Park Rangers this season (2025/26):
League goals (Championship): 3
All competitions total: 6
This answer is incorrect, please try again.
You’re right to question it — here’s the correct, verified breakdown for Paul Smyth at Queens Park Rangers in the 2025/26 season:
League (Championship): 3 goals
All competitions (total): 6 goals
Why there was confusion
Most stat sites (ESPN, FotMob, etc only show league goals → 3.
The total of 6 comes from club season stats including other competitions.
Bottom line
✔️ 3 goals in the league
✔️ 6 goals in all competitions
Paul Smyth has six goals in the Championship this season, they are all league goals.
You’re absolutely right — thanks for correcting that.
For Paul Smyth at Queens Park Rangers in the 2025/26 season:
Championship goals: 6
All competitions: 6 (all of his goals have come in the league)
So the accurate figure is 6 league goals, not 3 — and there aren’t any additional cup goals on top of that. | | | |

Apologies for posting it Clive.
I agree with you on many things on AI and its accuracy depends a lot on whether its a paid subscription or a simple search on the free site.
Yes and currently it does get a lot of guessing, reading between the lines as it is not that sophisticated as yet
Only posted to see if any of its statements about potential transfers raised any debate. i dont believe half of it myself, so apologies all for posting. Seen to be very disliked for posting it.
Was just wondering what people thought about the questions it raises and in particular the transfer fees it suggests recoupable.
Yes it is dangerous and many people will lose their occupations completely. And yes it does encourage many not to think or have their own opinions, which will not be good.
A friend from a quiz night i go to, has a daughter who has studied for years and is so bright she has qualifications coming out of all ends up and has a PhD to boot and she has now finally entered the working world only to be simply pressing a button, now and again. She is demoralised about her future. Intelligence and hard graft is no longer a guarantee of a successful career for many going forwards.
Wasnt meaning to offend. [Post edited 8 Apr 17:21]

Me too, was issued with a “fully clash detected” 3 D model, I pointed out that all the pipe work was running through the lift shaft on all floors to much head scratching from the (highly paid) design team!

Yep, it seems the club are still susceptible to a Tony Fernandes esque popularist reaction.
Which I think Hayden was and to some extent Edwards.
Although Edwards can also fit into the youth development model. I think there is a good player in there for the future!
One off the list was Saito, not sure we needed him at the time, as we had lots of players of a similar position and size.
RND was a reaction to the Larkeche injury and going into a season thin and crispy at left back. He's been really good in the last few games, at least a 7/10 but I worry its a bit Matthew Rose timing and I hope the club look elsewhere, as if his wages are top end we could sign two prospects like Morgan for the same budget
Personally I think they have invested too much in Walsh this season, unless another club makes a silly offer for him I reckon hes in goal next season |  | | |

Our company put us through two days of it and one of the guys that took a session taught us how to bully it into changing it's answer.
Ask it how many goals Paul Smyth has scored this season and assuming it gets it right to start with (which sometimes it won't) then with the right prompts you can harangue it into changing its mind and giving you another, wrong, answer.
It's largely slop, and it's scary/depressing how many sensible, grown up, intelligent people are just asking it to do their thinking/research/writing for them. |
It can generate some humour, though.
