It’s a revolving door, or a revolting door, depending on whether you are entering or exiting.

Like most Clubs we are both a buying and selling Club. To be successful we need to increase their value by continuing their development. If we can develop youngsters without bringing them in on big costs all the better, but we'll do very well to do many like Eze, we'll do well to do a Furlong the younger or 2.I think the likes of Willock will have seen the effort the club has put into developing Eze and BOS, giving them plenty of game time - and crucially that we've been willing to let them go to bigger clubs for the right price. That last bit is key and we have to remember that when we sell our next decent player for profit, enabling the virtuous circle to continue. Not always fun being a selling club, but it's our only hope of being sustainably good.

We should be looking at defensive help next, surely?
What has surprised me is how vocal the new signings have been about the development and ultimately the move to the Premier league by Eze. They have all said they see QPR as a place to evolve into better players and progress.I think the likes of Willock will have seen the effort the club has put into developing Eze and BOS, giving them plenty of game time - and crucially that we've been willing to let them go to bigger clubs for the right price.

Or perhaps an evolving door?!It’s a revolving door, or a revolting door, depending on whether you are entering or exiting.
Kelman is a youngster.... If we get him it is one for the future ..but a decent short term back up if we need this year.
We are also in ( alledgedly) for Mowsam from Barnsley...
You cannot complain that the board are not splashing the cash..
If we got about 16 million in cash ( probably over 3 years) for Eze...the add-ons don't count yet.
They have/going to spend about 8-10 million of that ( also probably over 3 years too)
I seem to remember that it was rumoured we paid a £1 million for Amos, but that Thomas was a free - out of contract. We also paid for Dickie, £ 1.5 million rumoured?So if these are all correct, doubtful as you say, we have a total cost of about £7.75 million in transfer fees already, and probably not done yet. I included the £2 million Charlton fans reckon they are getting for Bonne.Where do you get that 8-10m figure from, Beth?
Dykes won't have been more than £1.5m (add ons making it up to the reported £2.5m) and Bonne won't be more than £1m plus add ons. Willock a reported £750k, Amos / Thomas I can't remember.
Guesswork on my part, hands up, but I wouldn't believe the reported figures from other clubs who all want to inflate figures for their fans, much as we do! The fees are all undisclosed so no one can properly know but I suspect we've not spent more than £5m, which will be spread over time.
I have
dykes 1.5 ( rising)
Dickie 1.5 million ( rising)
Bonne 1.5 ( rising)
Willock 0.75
Amos 1 million
Thomas free
Adomah free
Carroll free.
About 6 -7 million (...and how much more in salary?)
Add into that Kelman and possibly Mawson.. both will be a fee.
Not sure 8 million is far off.
What you on about Beth with Mawson?I have
dykes 1.5 ( rising)

There is speculation in the click bate press that Cardiff, Boro and ourselves are interested in him, based probably only on him not having signed a new contract yet allegedly.What you on about Beth with Mawson?
Probably a step too far for us, looking at what we’ve spent already. Shame though, I’d like to have seen him here giving our midfield a bit of bite and attack.Yeh, Barnsley captain, midfield player.
