    I think its obvious our 1st teams defence is **** , after last night our stand ins are bollocks so what would you do ?
    If QPR's business model keeps them up , fair play , if not , fair play as they put their money where their mouth is .

    They are currently bottom just so you know. It is clear our defence is awful and yes we need another CB and possibly LB. I say possibly as Shaw or Reeves may fill that hole. So far Yoshida hasn't fulfilled potential but may step it up next to a no nonsense CB.

    What would I do? Buy/Loan another CB- not 7 though!!!

    Are you serious ? wasted money ? you can see the guy is quality, so if a player gets injured then he is crap, what the hell are you going to do with 6or7 defenders? build a new driveway. We need 2or3 new players not a new team. It was not an either we buy Ramirez or we buy a defender- no players were on the market or deals fell through.

    Goalkeepers - Not good enough
    Right Back - Need another older head with experience , who covers Clyne ?
    CentreBacks - All not good enough , need at least 3 with premiership or highest level European League experience .
    Left Back - 1 experienced permiership class left back , Wayne Bridge should of been sought at the very least because he as sure at **** is better than Fox .

    sorry I did not read that you adjusted your comment to 11 defenders with premiership experience-- are you off your trolly? keep taking the meds. 11 defenders, 3 keepers that means we are allowed another 11 players so who should we get rid of Spider? Lallana? Rickie?

    To be fair to GMI he didn't make the 11 defenders comment, that was the party guy.

    Goalkeepers - Not good enough in your opinion Gazza has promise and Boruc has shed loads of experience
    Right Back - Young , need another older head with experience , who covers Clyne ? maybe Richardson
    CentreBacks - All not good enough , need at least 3 with premiership or highest level European League experience . none were available, give us your little list
    Left Back - 1 experienced permiership class left back , Wayne Bridge should of been sought at the very least because he as sure at **** is better than Fox . Bridge is doing sooooo well with Brighton, we have two youngsters that can cover
    the one player that you have come up is struggling in the championship, thankfully you are not scouting for us

    Goalkeeper - Butland
    Right Back - Not too sure but surely we could of found someone available with top flight experience ?
    CentreBacks - Bassong/Dawson for a start .
    Left Back - Buttner/Bridge

    Thats of the top of my head and that back four and back is far better than what we have ?

    Butland. 8 million and is shipping goals for Brum
    Bassong Spurs reject. Dawson fair enough but he was going to sign for QPR
    Buttner has not showed anything, Bridge has ****ed his career away is on a downward slide

    Butland/Davis/Gazzaniga is a good prospect
    Bassong/Dawson could be a good partnership .
    Bridge is better than Fox and Buttner and him would be battling for the 1st team spot .

    To me thats planning for the future as you have experience and youth .

    can not agree with Butland, he has played 37 games and you would spend 8 million on him? obviously Bassong and Dawson could not form a good partnership or they would have played for Spurs

    The thing you have to ask is are they better than what we have ?
    They are .
    So are you prepared to buy them ?
    We were not .
    Do we regret that now after conceding 26 goals in 9 games ?
    God knows but I do .

    Curtis Davies is another one .

    Our signings this season so far , I did think it was 8 but this is only 7 but anyway .

    Rodriguez £6.5 Million
    Davis Free
    Clyne £2.5 Million
    Gazzaniga £2.5 Million
    Mayuka £3 Million
    Yoshida £2 Million
    Ramirez £12 Million rising to £15 Million on appearances .

    Has £28.5 Million been spent well ? With wages how much is that ? Are you pleased with that because I am not .

    yes I am pleased with that, missing a good CB, a good LB and we have avery good team, the only player that was abit expensive is Rodriguez but only by a million or so

    The eighth signing was Cody Cropper, an American goalkeeper in the development squad bought on a free transfer.
