Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Sign a decent defensive midfielder and maybe get an attacking one of good quality on loan to play on the right and we will be comfortably mid-table.

I agree, if not I think we'll finish in a similar position to last season or only slightly higher at best.

It's easier said than done considering R.L's wallet is welded tightly shut.
Who or where you gonna find such a player who ain't gonna cost loads or is on a free?

[PaulWinch again]

Defensive and attacking midfielders of some quality are vital for us.

I think a defensive one is a must. In fact keep Vlaar and sign a genuine holding mid and I would just about settle for that this window. Attacking mid Richardson and Cole can both play, plus Grealish and NZogbia coming back, and Gardner in the mix. Defensively Westwood is really the only option.

Defensively Westwood is NOT an option.

Well yes. Like asking butter to prevent a hot knife reaching the bottom of the tub.

how can QPR keep on buying all these players and spending millions all the time with new the fair play rules
I mean I don't really agree with the new rules but QPR cant have a very big turnover to be able to spend this much

clue: their shirt sponsor is also their owner.

So it's just that easy to get round the new rules then,
sponser your own shirt for a billion pounds and spend what you like

It's exactly what Citeh did (even though they still fell foul of the FFP) and is the way forward for rich owners to continue to plough money in ... As long as it is not completely flagrant.
I don't think the FFP are so stringent as to piss off the people pumping money into the game; despite the hype.
Depending who Lerner finally sells to, we might be happy that there are loopholes.

Manu pulling out of Vermaelen signing is not good news. They could possibly turn their attention to Ronnie?

Who did Arsenal ask for in exchange?

Smalling I believe.

Just as long as we don't get bought out by the owner of Anusol and have that written on our shirts.

Cambiasso looks like he's on his way to ...Leicester?

Hehe. We'd have to have the sponsor's name on the back of the shirts.

I reckon Ki will end up at Villa by the end of the month. 4mill sounds about right. I also think that we haven't heard the last of the Holtby thing either. Lambert said he was the sort of player he wanted this summer. A loan, maybe?

Interesting that Southampton have named their new captain today. I would have thought they'd use the armband to entice Vlaar!
