    Its been reported today that Diouf is been touted about [probably save us 600k a year in wages and probably get 500k for him likely destination seems to be QPRs they wish to offload TAARAT who in my opinion is a spoilt little boy with great talent
    Other moves mooted and this will not go away is McCormack and White to Blackpool for a combined fee of 1.5m .
    This plus the cash from Diouf will give Brian about 2m plus a saving of at 1.5m in wages
    I think this will move fairly quicky now so BM can get the 3 players he wants exciting times

    Cannot see McCormack going, if he does I think that'll be a huge mistake by Brian.

    Ross' best position by far is as a striker imo which it doesn't appear Brian thinks like that and thats probably why he isn't seeing the best in him. He's our best player and so underrated as well it'd be stupid to let him go and especially for that ****ty fee. White and Diouf can go for all I care, don't think they add much and if we can get any money for them let em go especially with Diouf on high wages and White might be a decent wages as he was in and around the first team when he got that contract extension

    Can't see McCormack, White, or Diouf going. They are all in our normal starting XI or at least guaranteed a place on the bench to then come on and have an impact. That said, if QPR want to offer us silly money any or all, so be it. However, we would be selling to one of our rivals for at least a top 6 finish if not auto. Probably not a bright move to sell any of our top 16 players to them.

    Can't see it happening. Qpr have a far stronger starting eleven than us and I doubt very much if diouf or white would get into their team. McCormack might. Realistically qpr will likely do a Newcastle and run away with promotion so is don't see them as competitors

    You might be right on them running away with the title, but that'll be more to do with 'avin' the best Manager in the league by a mile (other than BMD of course!!) rather than the strength of their squad.

    QPR won't run away with the league. They'll slump, Arry will walk at christmas and they'll just survive the drop imo

    Can you seriously see Brian being given all of any transfer fee(s) to re-invest in the squad?

    White and Diouf can go.

    I think Blackpool would be a good place to go to for White, he'll be getting regular football week in week out granted it will be league 1 football in 12 months time. With a bunch of Mercenary at the club Diouf might be at home. This could be the place where he finishes off his career. McCormack is the one of two players we can't get rid of.

    Diouf must be on some epic wage but if we need to clear wage money maybe we should look at off loading Brown as well as he's on £25000 a week.

    Eire I agree with you Redknapp won't be at QPR when Christmas comes he'll bugger off to the first prem club that needs a manager, my bets are on Fulham or Everton

    No way Brown is on 25k a week...

    He signed when Grayson was he as his last hurrah and wouldn't have been on anywhere near that money, then he got offered a contract on lower money as well which he accepted. I don't know the figures but it just wouldn't be 25k. Apparently Ross and Diouf are our highest paid players on 17k
