    Hey guys, QPR fan in peace.

    Congratulations on a fantastic season so far, and like many neutrals I really hope you push on and get the last 7 points you need to lift the title.

    I'm curious though, about who you'd (realistically) like to sign in the summer at the back. I was talking to a Red yesterday in the pub, and he said he'd like to see Mascherano back from Barcelona. With their decline, I could maybe see that happening, but who would you guys like to see come in?

    1st of all a taxi driver, to take Johnson far away.
    2nd new fullback (LB)
    3rd another winger
    4th a box to box central midfielder.

    We look forward not back

    This is Mignolet and Sakho's first season for the club (plus effectively Flanno's), Gerrard's first season playing deep, plus Enrique will be back from injury, so we will be better next season even before new signings

    I think reinforcements are needed in both fullback positions. Also, worth noting that Ilori is doing fantastically well on loan to Granada, which would bolster our options next season, with also Wisdom returning. But, for me, as mentioned earlier we really need to strengthen our fullbacks as our system really does rely on them. Nothing wrong with Flanagan and Johnson as potential back-up, just think we need that extra quality to maintain our now high standards next year.

    Although some on here think Johnson is 'ok' compare his performance to seamus cole mans today..well actually you can't because there was no comparison. That is the type of RB we need. Think we have that to a degree with Enrique and flanno but Coleman was brilliant today. Bring back Steve Finnan !

  6. Loved Mascherano when he was with us but no way I'd want him back now unless it was on a free and reduced wages. No way I'd sign him as a CB either.
