I don't know why that opinion would be harsh. Smyth always puts a shift in but his end product is usually non existent. He scored 1 goal and got 3 or 4 assists last season. If he wasn't fast, he most likely wouldn't be a footballer. We need improvements on what we have had in the past, otherwise it's just more of the same. A bench player at best
It sounds harsh cos he seems a pleasant lad and always tries but you objective data is not great.

Those stats, however, don't reflect gaps that may open up because he's running at the defence.
He’s not nice he has a nasty streak and he’s got in trouble for it.

We seem to have plenty of players who can play wide and he would be at the bottom of the list for me,

From West London Sport:
Asked if he believes new signings are on the way, Stephan said: “I don’t know. My job is just to stay focused with the players available and I hope we will have two or three players who come back from injuries.

“I have just to stay focused with the players that are available to prepare them for the next game.

“So let’s see. Let’s see what happens with the transfer window. Now I just want to have my players on the (training) pitch and prepare with them for Preston.”

Is it me or does that interview make it sound like he has nothing to do with transfers?

We have some good options at CB now but I still feel nervous about our LR and RB situations.

Dunne should be released from RB duties to play in the centre. So, we need a strong RB who will go ahead of Adamson (who I think looks promising) in pecking order.

Larkeche could come good this season but it's a gamble. Ideally, we'd have a proven LB for the starting 11.

Morgan and Madsen... Morgan has showed promise but seems to have lost form I often wonder if he'd benefit from half a season loan in L1. Madsen not good enough at this level. We need a strong central midfielder.

And, as everyone knows, we need a striker.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Not the greatest player but things tend to happen when he's on the pitch, even if purely because of his tenacity. Last season, there were times we looked so dry but then things would happen when he came on as a sub.

So, I think his tenacity puts him in contention. But the logical thing is to give Poku a chance first, with a good run of games.

As with many of our players, how good a player looks is down to how well we utilise those players. If you have a fast winger, you want to be making through balls to him.

It's the same with expecting more from Celar and Frey but never crossing the ball to them, never heeding their request for a through ball, never getting the ball to their feet, etc.

I actually think, if playing week in week out, he'll be a good signing for them at that level. He's got so much experience. However, keeping him fit and injury free is the hard part.

I was under the impression that the club identify players to fit their remit, the Coach's job is to coach the players he is given. Which i think was one of Marti's gripes along with a huge injury list

Morgan Fox on X. Gone to Wigan

I really enjoyed my 2 seasons at QPR. It was a top group of lads to be a part of. Thanks to all the staff I’ve worked with and a massive thanks to the fans for your support throughout. I wish the club and everyone involved with QPR all the best. @qpr ⚪

Well, it could be that Stephane has only just arrived so hasn't gotten very involved in the process. I hope he'll be involved more during the next window.

What I don't understand is... do we actually have any people from a footballing background overseeing all of this? We don't have a director of football anymore. So, is it purely stats and analysis from non-footballing people?
 
So the Saudi’s who own Newcastle, who also own lots of the clubs in Saudi, are getting one of the Saudi clubs to bid for Liverpool’s Nunez or Diaz or whoever, for a stupid amount of money, which can then be used to buy Isak from Newcastle. The whole potential deal is set up for this to happen.


But it would be libellous to claim that this is in any way corrupt, twisted and ****.
