Defoe, again. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/jermain-defoe-set-qpr-transfer-3659315 We could start an American football team at this rate.
This just getting stupid... Defoe again... Really? If any of these come off it will make a mockery of the 'lessons learned' mantra - I really hope it's just the usual newspaper nonsense.
So Jermaine Defoe has brought the total to 32 in the two weeks since our promotion. No doubt the journos will be trawling the 'released lists' for any ageing has-beens they can link us to in the coming weeks...
Sorry, I'm going to be a total knut here. I was told something last night by someone who does have connections in the football world, but not to QPR, about a player who will be at the World Cup and currently is at one of Europe's biggest teams who is potentially linked to us. Very tentative at the moment, and he asked me not to broadcast the name - he'll let me know if its going anywhere, if yes we'll get some cash on at what I imagine will be colossal odds and then I'll reveal.......if no I'll reveal as well and you can all have a laugh. I can't imagine anyone would object to this bloke.
No, I won't press you on that, I just heard from someone who usually gives accurate info we might be considering a move for Lukaku, but I think he'd walk into any of the other top teams if he was on his way...
Likewise with this bloke, who I think has already been the subject of a bid from a top 4 Prem club. I'm very skeptical but the source has some credibility.....
So we're potentially looking at a coup - ala Kevin Keegan joining Southampton in 1980 when European Player of the Year. Sounds promising.
Sounds absurd - assuming there is any truth in this at all, why would a player of this calibre come to us?? One reason only - money.
