Well I suppose as qualified as you or anyone else on the forum Terry which is not qualified at all. Just another opinion, which I think we are all equally ‘qualified’ to have. I never said he was old either, just at mid-twenties, maybe a youngER, more robust RB might suit our needs (and pocket) better. I HOPE he works out, brilliant if it does. |

Well the first thing is that it as indeed out of the blue and secondly, I had never heard of him until now as I don’t follow prem players unless there is an Irish connection or they are of the Halland mould. He certainly has (had) the ability to be a top player but just like Ferguson who emerged around the same time, he has been blighted by injuries over the past couple of seasons - Ferguson’s Italian trip didn’t go too well either. Potentially a great signing, but I’m with L Block on this one. A younger, more robust, perhaps less talented RB would be a better option, someone who COULD play 40 games if required - it’s not such a big ask,it just seems that way as we have so few that can actually achieve it. Anyway, he’s here now and I wish him every success. Like Brian says, ‘wait and see’. |

My brother was (is) the Liverpool fan in my family, but watching Keegan and Toshack up front with Highway on the wing was very exciting. They said he was irreplacable when he went to Hamburg ... along came Daglish. I always remember his move to Southampton because it was kept completely under wraps until it was announced. Impossible to do that nowadays of course but even then it caught the media completely by surprise. Great player - RIP |

Disappointing but entirely predictable result. Congrats to Liimerick, far too strong for Galway. I said two weeks ago that Clare were the closest county to Limerick and so it proved |

Exactly this. Edward’s is a fine player, who all things being equal should end up playing in the Prem and potentially playing for England (based on the current defenders that could happen sooner rather than later) But defenders are more replaceable than strikers, so if selling Edward’s for 10M meant we could hold onto Burrell and Kone for at least one more season then we should go for it, no debate. It would also allow us to invest in a proper cdm and maybe a Rb which would free up Mbengue to play CB again. And there is also JCS… On a different note we need to offload a couple of wingers as we are top heavy there. My preferred releases would be Saito and Dembele. That still leaves us with Chair, Smyth, Vale and Poku. Maybe let Bennie (depending on Kolli’s situation) and deffo Lloyd out on loan |

I think his lack of impact was down to lack of motivation rather than his legs not working properly. When we signed him in the immediate aftermath of the Coventry debacle he likely expected to get regular game time. I believe he had a genuine affinity for the club after his previous loan spell. When the game time never really materialised (due to Nourry’s insistence on Varane playing) he (similar to Field) became disillusioned and consequently his performance levels dropped. |

Sounds like what I am always banging on about Brian - attitude. Even against a DIV 4 team in a friendly we have to be bang at it or we end up in bother. Solving our ‘can’t be arsed’ attitude is the key to us having a successful season |

Yeah that looks like our strongest 11 at this point. Positionally I would put Vale beside Madsen, Chair on the left and Smith on the right. If (and it’s a very big IF) we were to get regular game time out of JCS, then moving Edward’s into the centre of the park could be another option. |

This is what we need to do too Brian, stop settling for second (or 16th) best and achieve a winning mentality. Like you say, it will take time (although hopefully not another decade), but green shoots of this is what I am looking for most next season. Sorry all, hijacked the WC thread, but it is a QPR forum after all. |

Lazy fan not a dig at you but a general comment. This notion of a player’s ’legs being gone’ at 30/ 31 is simply absurd. They are barely past their prime at this point. Any player who minds himself reasonably well and doesn’t pick up a series of serious injuries can play at the level they have being playing at until 33/34 at least. What next ‘washed up’ at 28? |
