99% of us would probably like Barton to be at the top of the list but who else can you see leaving QPR? Kenny - despite one of his best games against Citeh I still think Sparky will want to replace him Hulse, Smith, DJ, Betty, maybe HH - with Zamora and Cisse the chances of first team action was always going to be rare but I expect to see another couple of decent strikers signed and our 2nd string forwards will have to make way Buz, Derry and SWP - I admire Sparky for giving Buz a go despite him being little more than a fringe player under Warnock. With Diakite signing full time (please, please, please!) is it time for Derry to move on? He's been better than most, including me, have expected in the Prem but can he cope with another year at this level? Let's face it, we all thought Derry, Paddy and Clint would follow Warnock to Leeds didn't we? SWP hasn't cut it at QPR, I don't doubt he could do a job somewhere but no goals and practically no assists (correct me if I am wrong) may see the end of him here. I don't think he would take being a bit part player. Gabbidon, Young, One Size & Big Dan - Gabbidon hasn't really made an impression and was kept out of the team by Clint so even though he was one of our "big" name signings last August I can't see him being anything other than cover. Young impressed when he first came but injury let in others and I don't think he will take the place of Taye or Ned. Fitz and Dan will be casualties as there is bound to be higher calibre defenders on the way. So, half the squad gone in one go! How does that make us look next season? Keeper - new signing, maybe Hennessey from Wolves if previous rumours are true, but we need a top rate goalie Taiwo, Hill (maybe), Ferdinand, Onouha, Traore (move up to midfield?) Young (as cover maybe?) Adel, Diakite, Faurlin (when fit) expect to see a few more names added in the summer. Unless the club grow a set of nads and sack/sell him you can add Barton to the list of midfielders Zamora & Cisse with at least one or two more strikers to arrive. Like Sparky said after the Citeh game, we CAN'T be in that situation again and I hope his eye for a player is as good as with Diakite and that we have a decent scouting team looking out for a few more gems abroad or up and down the leagues. Bring it on, Up the R's!!!!!!!!!
He said we WON'T be in that situation again while he is manager. Love his confidence and it has rubbed off on me. I am convinced of it.
Just from looking at the squad listed on the website i reckon the following will go. Kenny, Derry, Hall, Gabiddon, Bothroyd, Connolly, Dave, hulse, Smith, HH , Cerny, murphy and Rambo. Along with the likes of cook rowley vine dyer and ****tu alot of deadwood to be cut this summer. ( mind you leaves us with no goalkeeper ).
