Apparently we're after him. Would be very surprised if we get him. He was a regular in France's World Cup XI. Recently rejected Dynamo Moscow.
If we get him it'll be a miracle. Played every game for France, scored against Switzerland, and was one of their key performers.
I think an offer from Dynamo Moscow is still under consideration........could we nip in and take him? Would be a fantastic signing...... just can't see some bigger club not wanting him and grabbing him last minute though
To lightweight. Thought I'd post it before someone else did. Would be a good signing imo, could add some much needed creativity and movement.

too old (30 in september) too short too light too expensive too high wage not British not the right sort wouldn't fit in . . . did I forget something?
Brilliant Player If we got him well ... it would be unbelievable. France again showed the world they produce brilliant players Won't fit it with our latest bit of brainwashing ... we must have English players
Agree 100% Brainwashing ??? We have Traore, Faurlin, Granero, Dunne, as overseas players. I am not 100%, but I thought the plan (not brainwashing - plan) was to have mainly British players. I would be absolutely staggered if we are expecting another 4 - 6 players coming in, that at least 1 or 2 of those, were overseas players. We have been rumored to have approached Fer (another overseas player) - are we being "brainwashed" that now Dutch players are being considered as British ???
I can imagine the meeting now.... TF/PB: Mathieu, you were one of the best perfomers in a strong France team at the world cup, would you like to sign for QPR? Valbuena: Er, non. TF whispering to PB: He's so small, do you think anyone would notice if we took him home in our hand luggage PB:...
