It seems odd that two such highly-rated players should jump straight in to the basket case that is QPR without seeing what else is on offer.

Who will be playing in the Championship next season. Still, money talks. Always has,always will. We offered 3.5 mil for the two of them so it was reported. That's about our level I'm afraid.

Very weird. They will have been aware of our interest so not a clue why you would choose to go there.

I still don't see where this is confirmed. Who are SBS?

Yes, we offered it in £. The article is in $. Before slagging the club you might want to consider there are no facts and the currency is different.

No it isn't, but if you want to believe spurious stories in order to think the worst, feel free.

SBS is one of the main media networks down here, they've pretty much carried the flag up until recently in terms of providing football coverage. So you could maybe speculate that they might have good sources close to Luongo, but who knows, could be worth absolutely nothing.

Both players sound like good prospects, but don't seem like a big miss. Re-signing Cleverley now becomes more important though, obviously.

Well alright but it is on the BBC website and that is usually reliable. We shall have to wait and see. I hope they are wrong.

Whoever he goes to, we'll never know what, if anything, we offered.

I'd rather see Gardner get a chance than us fork out on a couple of unproven players from League One.

Could be that whilst we looked at them we were never that interested but attaching our name gave Swindon a nice shopping window for the players..

The Swindon charimen said he had prem league offers for the players ..and they end up at QPR..I'd suggest if the 2 players had a genuine chance of going to the prem league they wouldn't have ended up at QPR who could well yet be fined heavily which could stifle their chances to get promoted straight away.

Luongo I understand is a CM where currently inc Cleverly we are not too bad with Gardner who performed at decent level for Forrest to come back into as well.I would think should be sign Cleverly spending £3mil or so on yet another CM might not be the best use of our funds ..whatever they may be.

Could be a number of factors.

As ex Spurs yout, they might have a better relationship with Chris Ramsey than TS.

Going to a Championship side about to rebuild might give them more opportunity to play.

Or they might be the kind of twats whereby the Landan Life outweighs any other professional considerations.

Or the Aussie fella could still do his shifts in the pubs of Earl's Court.
Joking aside, he is very highly rated down under but it does seem odd if that wasn't their only choice.

Sounds like a modern re-make of Trumpton.

That would be one use for them, I suppose. If they are at a loose end.
