Summer Transfer Rumours

That ****er Rod Liddle seems to hate us so we need 6 points off Millwall, preferably 8.

 

Looks like the Blue side of Brum are in the doggy do as much as Villa.......

TALKS BETWEEN BIRMINGHAM CITY FOOTBALL CLUB AND THE EFL REMAIN ONGOING IN REGARD PROFITABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REGULATIONS.
The Club has spent several months working diligently to satisfy the EFL.

Unfortunately and disappointingly the EFL are currently refusing to allow us to make additions which would enable us to strengthen the Manager's squad.

We are hopeful that a satisfactory agreement can be reached with the EFL as soon as possible to help ensure our continued competitiveness in the Championship.

We fully understand supporters’ frustrations over this issue in the wake of recent speculation and rumour. We share those frustrations.

The Club asks supporters to maintain the fabulous and passionate backing they have given to Garry Monk and the team since the Manager's appointment - it is hugely appreciated and when we have that togetherness and strength in numbers it can make a big difference.

The Board of Directors are ambitious and are committed to improvement and bringing success to the Club, in all aspects on and off the field.

And supporters can rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to address this current situation.

The Club will make no further comment.

We thank you for your understanding.

It's about time the EFL showed some balls and called clubs to account in real time rather than wait 12 months and try to work retrospectively.......

 

And that too is Array's fault ( plus a gullible chairman)
Someone in the football echelons should do something ( ban) the root cause of the problem.
Ban Arry from managing

I fear that taking this attitude will lead us into another situation similar to the one with Chery. The optimism generated by a few good performances after he signed kept him in the squad for so long even though he was damaging to the team and results.

Chery and Freeman are quite similar... plenty of natural talent but absolutely woeful with decision making and ending up losing possession more often than keeping it.

The big difference is that Freeman seems to try hard and care as where Chery was just a selfish, careerist ****.

So, basically Freeman seems to be a bit of an idiot regarding team play and tactics. Which can be coached out of him if someone confronts it head on.

 

Who was the last player at qpr that was there for the love of the place and not there as part of their career

 

Mackie

 

Didn't he complain to his builder about his wages

 

I love watching Freeman play. He alone is worth the price of the admission ticket (or season ticket in my case). He has wonderful technical ability and I can recall him beating opposition players when he had no right to do so, with seemingly insufficient space to get past them. Add to that his tackling ability and willingness to put in a shift and I believe he is one of the most talented players we have had on our books in recent years. Sure, I'd like to see him unlock defences more often with a killer pass but, to me, he is the essence of what QPR is, or should be, all about: the way we play, our heritage.

I understand all about FFP and our need to sell players periodically but if Freeman goes, I go.

 

I agree with you about Freeman's ability and commitment Rodders, but I think we have to get used to the fact that we may lose some of our best players from time to time - not necessarily because the club wants to sell, but because we can't pay the wages that they can earn elsewhere (Robinson being a case in point). I can't see Freeman going anywhere right now though, and, in any case, we have a player in Eze that looks like he could be even more of an entertainer in the QPR tradition. No time to be cashing in your season-ticket.

 

The feeling is mutual. Horrible club, horrible fans and horrible everything. Would dance for joy if they ceased to exist!

 

To be fair I think most of the current squad are with us because they want to play for the club and not for the money. This and last seasons squad has more to like about it than anything of the squads from the previous 5 seasons........

Maybe they do see us as a step up from their previous clubs and there would be something wrong if they didn't se us as stepping stone to better things, this is the way moneyball works, buy low, sell high......

 

I still have a mate I play 5 a side with who is good mates with Mackie and he loves QPR

My mate is a Reading fan by the way

Mackie coaches his boys side

Russell Martin the Norwich player who has played a few times with us also has a fondest to QPR ... very good player even in his 30s

 

We have to do a Millwall this year

Credit where’s its due they were brilliant last season

 

Was thinking the same thing, we need to do what the likes of Millwall ,Sheff Utd and Brentford did.
Even better if we do a Fulham

 

Fulham took 3 years to do a Fulham...and there was a considerable amount of money spent too

Grant Hall played 45 mins for the under 23s today, basically a new signing innit?

 

It’s a bit worrying that due to a lack of activity it’s made the summer transfer window thread!

 

WE BOUGHT FREEMAN FOR 200 THOUSAND SO IF WE SELL HIM FOR THREE MILLION THATS A FABULOUS PROFIT AND TOO BE HONEST HE AINT AS GOOD AS EZE,HES CERTAINLY NO RODNEY MARSH ,MARSH WAS THE GREATEST EVER PLAYING IN MY 60 SEASONS OF WATCHING QPR SO GOODBYE FREEMAN LOVE YOU BUT WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY

 

Actually it was 350k & your talking absolute crap as usual tED

 

I'm not comparing Freeman to my namesake but we managed to keep Marsh for 6 years and his brand of football hooked people like me for life. It would be nice if we could keep Freeman, a mere mortal compared to Marsh, for several years and hook some of the few youngsters who turn up nowadays. Freeman is the sort of footballer they, and I, want to see perform on a Saturday afternoon, not the likes of Matt "Slo Mo" Smith.

Ask yourself, are those youngsters more likely to imitate Smith in the playground on a Monday morning or Freeman? As a former financial guru, I can say: forget counting the beans and keep something invested in a star attraction.
