Probably papertalk but add these to the list! Harry Redknapp is facing a fight to offload his âoverpaidâ players as he plans a Queens Park Rangers clear-out. The Loftus Road manager wants to raise cash by moving out the players he believes are surplus to requirements. Speaking on Saturday after the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle, Redknapp said: âThereâs an awful lot of players at this club earning far too much money for what they are - far, far, far too much money for their ability and what they give to the club.â A number of former manager Mark Hughesâs signings are expected to be slashed from Redknappâs squad in the next two transfer windows. These include defender Jose Bosingwa, who was last week fined £130,000 by the club for refusing to sit on the bench for the clubâs 2-1 win over Fulham. He will lead the planned exodus. Without naming Boswinga, Redknapp said: âHe didnât want to be on the bench and didnât want to be a substitute, so he went home. âHe has been fined two weeksâ wages, £130,000. Not too bad for two weeks - decent isnât it?â Sportsmail understands Djibril Cisse, Samba Diakite and Stephane Mbia, who were all signed on lucrative contracts by Hughes, are facing the axe. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2252636/Harry-Redknapp-plans-QPR-clear-out.html
I'd dump cisse in a heartbeat but I'd hang on on to diakite and mbia. there are several others I'd get rid of before them.
Samba Diakite and Stephane Mbia could be important players in QPR's slim hopes of survival If they are allowed to go I think it shows signs of our plans for the championship next season
I would like Diakite and Mbia to stay as I think that they do put a shift in not really worried if Cisse goes.
Surely just lazy journos picking any names out of a hat ?? Cant see Harry wanting rid of M'bia or Diakite BUT would then add weight to the story that he is looking at M'Vila (another defensive midfielder). Better to stick with what we have got in that department IMO.
I would stick with Mbia but I have never rated Diakite and every tackle he makes you think will end up with a card of some sort. Cisse, Zamora, Johnson, Bosignwa all bad buys and no tears lost if they go. I like Granero as a footballer but he doesn't seem up for th PL so he can go to. In fact, out of all the Hughes signing the only player who has shown any fight and passion for the club is Nelsen. Hughes signed too many players coming to the end of their careers on big wages and it may be difficult to off load them. We need players in their low to early twenties. Still irks me that we let the best English grown footballer for a generation slip through our grasp.
The problem is, how do we get rid of them? We effectively have five or six Joey Barton situations on our hands. Clubs won't be falling over themselves to sign these players except Granero, especially on the kind of wages we believe they're on. A knotty issue for Harry.
Well I would keep Cisse as seriously he can do it. I would keep everyone in fact and everyone on here will change theirs minds if we start winning football matches. This is completely daft to start picking out players and is dangerous for our club and fan base ... we will implode as we are already the laughing stock ... time to stand and fight not wimp out looking for people to blame ... I hate it. Redknapp was in court recently and there were calls that he go to prison now he is our manager. I GET BEHIND MY CLUB WHATEVER THE PLAYERS OR MANAGER OR WHATEVER THE SITUATION ... I am focussing on the 2nd as to defeat teh ****ers that started all this bollocks with buying players etc ... this evil needs putting down ... We should target and vent our anger on CHELSEA the evil bastards run on illegal money and buying the title etc. Whoever plays for QPR is QPR that s the only lesson these players have to learn. I in a way sometimes hope we sink back and rebuild probably but we need to have our club at the top table all fans want that for clubs. We therefore have to spend the cash unless we have grown like the Swans or the Yellow Budgies
I dont see Miba going, hes started every match, I dont want Diakite to go but the writing could be on the wall when Derry comes on ahead of him and Cisse is a no brainer, he only plays for himself.
I think Harry got the hump with Diakite in the Aston Villa game when he came of 'injured' but Harry thought he could have played on.
This is closest to my feelings. There's not a single player that hasn't performed at the highest level at one stage or another. They're all here to play football and we have a manager that has built his reputation on getting the best out of individuals. It's up to Harry to do that and he's put in decent groundwork so far. A complete rebuild was what got us into this mess and so advocating the same to get us out of it seems like lunacy IMO. The squad is much better than last season and they just need to believe they're great players again. Confidence is everything and can evaporate from incoming players as easily as it left the ones we've got. Stick.
Cisse and Diakite can both go IMO, never rated Samba like some of you on here. I would definitely keep mbia however.
