No idea who is is and enough is enough we don't need any players … we need the ones we have to start to forge into a team
The current QPR model is wrong and unacceptable to me … 12M for Mutch and Sandro 16.5M for Fer and Caulker … 16M in for Remy, Simpson and Garnero
Penny dropped yet? Harold has spent too much?
 
Good shout <ok> You know your players mate. He was very good for Olympiakos last season and had a great World Cup. Players who takes shots are exciting to watch, at the moment we only have Fer and Austin who's willing to have a go from long range. Last one except for those two was Townsend.
Thanks Norway! I might apply for the chief scout role...assuming we have one?

What I can't figure out is that after we lost Remy at the 11th hour that we were not scouting for a replacement 24/7 from that point forward; a proper scouting team would have had identified several potential replacements with at least one ready to sign on Jan 1st.
 
I don't think Wenger would let him anywhere near us, players are supposed to improve and benefit from a loan spell, I'd say Andros Townsend is the only player who has actually benefited from a spell with us...

I think there is quite a good argument to sat that Kyle Walker was a great sucess for us. Wayne Routledge wasn't too bad either!

I do agree with the sentiments you posted though.

The fees would have been fine if they were good players and we had 30 points.

I can only go on what I said at the time mate. I got into a couple of scrapes on here saying we were spending far too much (LoneRanger was one of 'em) and I still think we did. I think (& thought) we could have got players just as good, or better, at half the price if we looked hard enough and took a gamble or two. Redknapp has splashed the cash yet we're second bottom. Its his fault and his fault alone.

Having said that, I don't think we're in such a disastrous position as everyone else seems to think. 3 points off 12th. We could easily turn this around.

Spot on, you just have to look at so many bargains other clubs have landed to see that. Although I disagree with your final summary, we needed at least another six points from our fixtures played so far. The returns are all harder and I can't see another 19 points from them...

I think we agree. To date all of these players represent spectacularly poor value for money, especially for a club up **** creek financially. What I meant was, if they had all played well and there was a nice big gap between us and the relegation places, we would quietly forget how much they cost.

Jordan ****ing Mutch, I ask you. Welcome to the Bloody Luke Young League of Dishonour son.
