He attacks like Glen Johnson but has much better defensive qualities.

You said he was better than Glen Johnson who is the current England right back
Better defensive qualities that i've seen in 2 QPR games and one for us.
Then again, most right backs can defend better than Johnson, Johnson's excellent overlapping  makes him number 1. To my eyes, Johnson has always essentialy been a winger that does a bit of defending.
Should he be selected ahead of Johnson for England?
Obviously not, but there is great potential there
I agree with all of that and im sorry for getting stroppy, if you have seen him 3 times then thats enough games in order
to get a perspective and as u said earlier if Warnock rates him

I will if he plays like that  for the next 5 premiership games he plays, lets see how good he is v Man City, etc  shall we before "proclaiming" he is the best right back in England
Who said he was the best right back in England?

Mark, sorry Rip, you know how it works. Houllier signed him and it is now against the law to say anything that might reflect positively on him.

Although if he had a shocker today, I'm betting there would have been plenty of "told you so" quotes on here today. 
Instead we have a lot of people looking like idiots for dismissing a player they'd never seen play or bothered to read the views of (top of the table) QPR fans who to a man rated him highly and were gutted to see him leave.

I just hope there is a facility to sign him on a long term deal, as I fear SPurs will be waching and thinking he is better than what they have there by the look of him. Should have just bloomin bought him when he was at Sheffield.

With respect, no-one's proclaiming that.

Better than Luke Young by a mile on today's showing though.

How often does Young play against a team looking likely to get relegated from the league below us?

I'm not writing Walker off, I hope he's as good on here seem to think he is, but Sheffield United are shit, him doing well against them isn't proof of anything.

I've just seen his goal and it was a very good goal, great run with a nice composed finish and he had an assist for Petrov's goal. I agree that he has to be seen against PL opposition but it was a great start and I hope he kicks on and makes the shirt his own.

If there is a chance of signing this lad, the right side of our team for the next number years would be very talented indeed.

Good debut, but we need to remember it was against opposition who play at the same level that he has been playing against week-in, week-out for QPR.  Let's judge him after he's had the Man City forward line running at him in a few weeks time...

He seems a good player, but what does upset me is that he is on loan from Tottenham, that means that Spurs don't consider us as competitors for them but as a small team. . .

To be honest at the moment we aren't competitors to them, but then again two years ago they weren't to us. So things change quickly if we do things right, one thing would be signing Kyle Walker if we can.

so a bloke scores on his debut and makes a great run to set up another and from all reports has a decent game which helps us avoid a potential banana skin, we are through to the next round of the FA cup.
and we seem unable to feel good about this FCOL

One of the best Villa debuts I've seen, looked very composed, confident going forward and knows how to tackle. Let's hope he signs permanently.

Seems when Spurs bought him and Naughton they only id it to stop anyone else buying them.

In a season of unrelenting shitness and largely justified misery, it'd be nice to take this as it was for now - a very promising debut from a young full back.

All this boo hoo we're developing Spurs' players for them is nonsense. We're 18th in the league for fuck's sake. I'd develop Small Heath's players for them if it meant we got out of the relegation places.

And as for the person who posted OMG IT WASNT EVEN HOULLIER WHO SIGNED HIM, THE SCOUTS MADE HIM TAKE HIM - that's the most idiotic, fuckwitted comment I've seen on here for a very long time.
