We do seem to have a rather over loaded midfield at present and are a tad thin at the back and up front........If Austin and Fer don't go shortly then there are no funds for replacements, but then if they stay until January then we could get off to a flyer, but that would cause a few selection problems of there own as I would expect Chery to be given the No 10 roll if that still exists and Polter to play the lone striker......
We need people as back up especially in midfield. I remember posters writing the same this time last year about playing 1 8 1 etc, yet we ended the season so short of fit folk in midfield, CR had to play OBZ and Austin up front with Tactic Route 1, and the midfield looked like an underpass.

Very happy if Fer stays myself.
 
Fer is the second player to fail a medical at Sunderland this pre-season. Interesting. I would still expect him to go, and I can't see him playing on the weekend. But imagine if he did stay; would be class for the Championship.
You say that but one of his issues is that he can't take tough play; he won't go up for many headers when challenged and doesn't get stuck in. The championship could be the wrong league for him unless he toughens up a bit.
 
Whilst it might be great that he is possibly staying(forced to stay)
Does he actually want to stay and play for us in the championship

Of course he doesn't. He clearly wants to complete the relegation hat-trick.

He'll look great in the Championship while the Sun is out and then shatter into a million pieces between October and March, the talented tart.

I think this is very bad news. Fer is a talented player, but he was never the most committed in the Prem, so he's hardly likely to relish the physical side of the Championship. Our recruitment so far seems to have been based on the assumption that he would be gone, so if we can't unload him he will be surplus to requirements and a drain on the wage budget. Not to mention the loan fee that we will forego.
 
QPR players jump on a bus to leave the game. At half time. But the network is good (if unreliable) in London.
It's environmental friendly to walk and bus home when you finished playing. Should be the recommended Club practice.

You talking from personal experience right, when's your expected return date-1st April?
 
I think he threw the medical and started limping. He realised what a sh*t hole Sunderland was and thought "I'm not living up here"

That's really not very nice language from someone who looks like Jesus in a hoops shirt?

Certainly agree there.............
 
Leroy Fer's agent has told The Chronicle why the proposed move to Sunderland collapsed earlier today, with the QPR midfielder seemingly injured.

The 25-year-old midfielder hit six goals for Queens Park Rangers last season, but with Chris Ramsey's side suffering relegation back to the Championship, Fer is unsurprisingly looking for a move back to the Premier League.

A season-long loan deal with Sunderland had been agreed, but the move fell through earlier today, with the Daily Mail reporting that Fer had failed a medical.

Now, in a bid to put an end to the rumours surrounding Fer's failed move to the Stadium of Light, agent Rob Jansen has told The Chronicle. that the Black Cats pulled out of a deal due to an injury - though Jansen wouldn't disclose what exact injury Fer has.

"Leroy is currently confronted with an injury. That means he is not able to play immediately," said Jansen. "Then Sunderland said: we do not want to go ahead. Leroy is very disappointed. He is now trying to get fit at Queens Park Rangers. Leroy has an injury. What kind? I’m not a doctor, so keep it as ‘injury’," he added.

Fer, who has 11 caps for the Dutch national team to his name, must now try to shake off his injury in order to earn a move away from Loftus Road this summer.
