I think Toszer, JET and Phillips could be on there way. Maybe Mackie as well?

[Hove Ranger]

Add Gladwin and we need to bear in mind there are a few out on loan that we might not be able to shift (Sandro, Fer, Caulker)

[maidstone_hoop]

I wonder if we will look at Bentley again if the rumours of smithies wanting to go out true.

Also if they are true I hope we slap a big fee on his head as he's a class act.

Bloody hell, knew I'd forget one, but four!! How could I forget our premier league superstars

Where's the rumour about smithies come from or is it more pie in the sky ######## because he's missed a couple of games. Jimmy did say Ingram would get some game time at the end of the season and that smithies was very much number one next year or am I missing something?

Indeed most likely is pie in the sky bs.

Who is he, a journo or something?

Not worried yet as we have a whole summer of business ahead of us, but that squad as it stands is really poor. That would struggling to be pushing for top half, we desperately need to recruit well this summer.

[Norths]

Who is he, a journo?

Yep.

He must be a 'Realist' just making up stuff. Lol.

Currently in limbo - Hoilett/Henry

I look at that squad and I get 5 first team players at a push who I would want in the first 11 if we are to push on next season.

Though as a squad goes then it's not as bad as I thought. A lot of recruitment in midfield and on the wings required.

He must be a 'Realist' just making up stuff. Lol.

he's the sports editor of the brent and kilburn times. he's generally fairly reliable imo. in the comments he says that any move is far from definite and claims to have heard the unsettled stuff from 2 sources. there was a similar rumour around the turn of the year, i think.

he also adds in a later tweet: Worth noting Smithies recently had minor knee surgery, so that and giving Ingram some much-needed minutes reason for his recent absence #QPR

-----------Ingram/Smithies-------------
Perch - Caulker/Ned/Hall -----Robinson
---------Luongo --- New CM------------
Petrasso ------Chery ---------- New LW
-----------Polter/Washington------------

Not the worst of base to work from.

Not all will agree with me on Petrasso, but reckon he should be given a chance as first teamer for the start of the new season
