        Yes Hove, that sounds about right

        Seem to recall it being a strange signing for the youth setup as he was already at an age where you'd expect them to make the step up or be moved on.

          Not American, but moved to play in the States.

            He was good, disappointed QPR didn't give him a try
            Under Les Ferdinand:
            Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
            Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
            Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
            Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
            And many more mistakes

            LES FERDINAND, IT'S TIME TO GO

              Interesting fact about him - he's recently started writing his own children's books!

                Didn't make it with Newport. Poor hold up play my informant who plays for Newport told me.

                  I think he's trying his luck in hollywood.

                    Blackwood's found his level in NASL. Had a decent showing for Arizona last year and was with Sacramento last I heard. I'm happy that he's found a place somewhere, but if you can't make an MLS roster you're probably not going to stick in the Championship.

                    Phillips intrigues me, mostly because I have no idea where he came from. D3 college soccer isn't exactly a talent factory.

                      MLS works in the way that the NFL does with drafts etc. Kids from college soccer teams get their chance to join the MLS through the pre season draft. If he was playing with us at the end of the season then we got in there first. Not that I know how good the fella is
                      i supported qpr in the glory days when chris kiwomya and michael ngonge played up front

                        doesn't The Bard recommend players in the States for us?
                        I must away now, I can no longer tarry
                        This morning's tempest I have to cross
                        I must be guided without a stumble
                        Into the arms I love the most
