    It's all getting really crazy ... the world seems to know exactly what our transfer targets are. I know its just the press but we now have a shameful reputation for transfers all based around media exposure and our craving for it. We are unique are we not? ... other clubs go about business quietly yet we seem to be hacked into and the **** keeps flowing out without any attempt to plug it ... why? ... it's the way to keep QPR in the news

    Agree with you here. We seem to be in the news all the time and it's not ideal whatsoever. I wanted us to handle our business in the way we did with the Charlie Austin deal. No comments on the speculation and announcing it unexpectedly.

    It all must be smoke screens .. surely? That's all i can think of. Harold is on record now as saying that if he gets the players he wants it's going to blow our minds:

    Quoted now as saying that we have put in a request for Defoe and had a bid for Parker rejected I don't know why he doesn't put in a request for Rooney

    I'm heartbroken. This was to be the signing on which we would have built the team for the next 5 years.

    Or perhaps not.

    "Queens Park Rangers have failed with a bid to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker, Sky Sports understands.

    Hoops manager Harry Redknapp made the approach for his former player earlier this week, whilst also enquiring about the availability of striker Jermaine Defoe.

    The Championship club must now decide whether or not to make a second bid for Parker, who faces competition for his starting place at the North London club from £17m signing Paulinho.

    QPR have also been linked with a move for Liverpool winger Oussama Assaidi, who is set to leave Anfield this summer.

    The Morocco international, who signed for the Merseyside club last summer, played just seventy-three minutes of league football last season, with his only starts coming in the League Cup and Europa League."

    Let him sit on the bench with Spurs .................... it proves he really doesn't want to play football, just wants to be a wallflower.

    No great loss IMO

    Yes he's a very good player but dont think his heart would be in it. Also if we do "miraculously" go up, he'l have to be replaced anyway & we're back to square one.
    Would reather keep Ali in the middle.

    Im not saying Ali is as good BTW!

    Well there's football logic for you

    Yesterday I saw Defoe and Parker promoted the online Spurs game for kids in the new spurs kit .. For the kids

    So it leaves us all on here having to look closely at Harold's dreams

    One thing not mentioned on here from a direct quote last week that Harold wants players at the club you can say hello good morning to in English

    And so the revolution continues

    This team being put together is for the championship if we do it then get ready for another new team next year

    If we fail expect me to claim that Harold has mis managed and cut up them lost the best QPR squad of all time but the worse team ...

    Until them I am right behind the shirt
