Provocative thread this but in my eyes Buz has ceased to have any real bearing on the QPR squad these days. When he does play he looks lost and I don't think Warnock rates him so much now. Time to cash him in (granted probably for not much) and look elsewhere? I think we should, we need more creativity with Taararraabat and Traore off to the ACN we're dependant on Faurlin & SWP for any game make or breaking skill....
Yes, unfortuantely his time is up. He needs to drop down a division. Could certainly still do a job in the championship!
Don't shoot the messenger - Guy who sits behind me in V block says he's a mate of Buz. Reckons he's had an offer from China at £600k PA net and also MK Dons are showing strong interest. I like Buzz, was never blessed with paced but seems even slower after his injuries, still think he would cut it in the championship.
Whilst I'm on a (slightly negative) roll here, can I add Perone (Why??????) and Hall (better than Gorkss???) to my January sales list...?
Yes. Also time is up for: Derry Hill Hall Orr Smith ****tu, Hulse and the other 'experienced pros' not in the 25. And probably a few others I can't think of at the moment (jury's out on Connolly, I can't figure out what his best position is meant to be) Don't get me wrong, these have been great servants of the club, and are capable ( even One Size) of premiership standard performances - but not consistently, or even often. I suspect if any of them were really up to this level, they would have played more of their careers in the top flight. If we aim ( survival permitting) to be an established prem team, none of these will feature next year, and a couple may go this window.... Don't expect everyone to agree with me!
SB - Derry Smith & Hill still have much to offer though granted Derry lacks pace at Prem level. Bradders is a good kid but not up to standard and Hall for me has always been an injury prone liability. If he was that good Newcastle would have taken him up with them when they won promotion. I still reckon Hulse will surprise us with a few goals in January
To be fair to Buz, he was helping us quite a bit at the beginning of the season, before the takeover. We've only seen him once since then I don't even think he was that bad. He came into a highly charged game and, although he didn't provide much going forward in that short space of time, didn't lose the ball more than once or possibly twice. Apart from that, he held the ball and made passes, even if they were backwards. With that said, he is down in the pecking order and shouldn't play in his position since we have better players to do the job. But is he a useful backup incase of injuries? I think he could be.
Don't really miss him in open play but his free kicks were good. Apart from the Taarabt one against Norwich i can't think of any good ones this season
No doubt but that he has no future at Loftus Road. Too slow for a Premiership player. Championship is his level.
