QPR, Swansea, Norwich

How do we think they'll do this season? Who (if any) do you believe will stay up?

I must say that I'm quite shocked at the transfer activity of all three clubs - especially Queens Park Rangers. I had them down as a club to start spending reasonably big now they've reached promotion, but they have some of the tightest spending I've ever seen. When we came back up, at least we had a foundation of solid EPL-level players which got us through. However, with QPR, they're signing players like Dyer and Gabbidon? I feel sorry for their fans to be honest, because they probably expected good spending with the owners they have.

So far, I have yet to see any real spending by any of the clubs, but I'm not sure if the existing quality of their squads is enough to keep them up next season. One or two of them may be lucky that existing PL teams are going to flounder and take up some of the relegation places (Wigan and Blackburn spring to mind).

Thoughts?

 

Swansea and Norwich to drop with Wolves.

 

Q.P.R are going down.

Some of them have actually not renewed their season tickets because of the owners, like proper boy-cott, I can see them going downhill.

I think/hope Swansea can/will stay up.

Don't know about Norwich.

 

Where's the none option

 

**** me, I genuinely forgot that Wolves even existed. They've sure been quiet this transfer window...

 

Didn't they buy a keeper? Like a good one?

 

If Taarabt went, QPR were doomed, couldn't think of anyone who would share us when he isn;t there

Not so quiet.

 

They also picked up Jamie o'hara from Spurs for £5 million ..

 

You just have to hate it when other bloggers have the technical skills to put a poll on their thread.

 

I think now Taarabt is staying at QPR I think they have more of a chance of staying up. But signing players like Dyer and Gabbidon is pretty poor considering they have wealthy owners.

Swansea could do a Blackpool, playing attractive football in the top flight is dangerous for a newly promoted team especially considering they don't score many goals away. However I think Graham is a good signing for them, young and can score goals so he is one to watch.

Norwich are signing players who are hungry and wanting to prove themselves in the top flight. They have a good manager and good loyal fans. I hope they stay up but I think they could struggle this year.

 

They've got a boring old **** of a manager MICK McCARTHY that I can't stand and a dirty bastard Karl Henry that I loathe.

 

Swansea's

 

Taarabt is over rated. He's a decent player but i'd say he's no better than Jonas to be honest.

 

Oh please not comments on Jonas again

 

Blackburn, Wigan and Swansea to go down.

 

What you on about?

I think Taarabt is a great player, but i don't think he's good enough to keep QPR up.

 

All the camotion about the wave comment.

 

This, but switching Swansea for QPR.

Like someone said earlier, Swansea might run the risk of pulling a Blackpool, but I wish them the best. I don't think Rodgers will be as stubborn as Holloway and might at least try and adapt their gameplay to the score or squad

 

I think QPR and Norwich will go down. Mostly because I think they will try to play expansive football whilst Swansea will be tight and try to outscrap. Could be wrong but I've got the sneaking feeling the Swans will prove harder to beat.

Of the three i'd rather Norwich stayed up but I really think they will struggle.
