    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?

    You are right Oddball. The fees we paid for our Summer signings were far too much for a Club of our size.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
