Report: Rio Ferdinand at a reported £80K per week?

[Nick]

I hate this statement. How is planning for the future going to keep us in the Premier League next season? That's our only aim next season, and so it should be. Rio won't play every game, but his experience and presence in the dressing room could be invaluable.

You know what Ginge I actually agree with you mate. I stand by what I said in the rest of the statement, but the bit highlighted I hold my hands up and admit its wrong. The main objective at this stage is to stay in the prem no matter what. Also I'm a big believer in bringing in experience as well as youth. And you could argue that the experience players wont be here for the future. So yeah I make you right.

[Ginger Ninja]

Still not exactly planning for the future. Just going to cause unnecessary distraction when he moves on..... especially if Hill and Dunne get injured/choose to retire, that'll leave 3 defenders moving on. IMO he's not that good to make such a big fuss about.

Where's it been reported, by myu's ITK cockney red mate?

[WeAreQPR12]

Someone who knows.

Stanley I think you're a good poster and have plenty of common sense but I really wouldn't hold too much hope in your inside info, purely because those days of leaked information are non existent!

[winalotto]

thought TF has already poo pooed this rumour and has said we are now looking for younger hungrier players , been down this road and dont want to travel it again

Someone who knows.

BoooooooooM!

[Stanley]

And your understanding of this is from what source ?

Someone who knows.

[camembert]

Ignore this 80k B0llox, it's just a load of ignorant paper talk. It's a lot lower than that figure, and it's not a long-term deal. This is my understanding of the deal on offer.

And your understanding of this is from what source ?

[camembert]

Not us. Fernandes. We can ***** and whine like piggies all we want. Like it or not, Harry has the track record, Hughes just had Kia and dollar signs. They're very different beasts and this is a very different QPR.

Rio on a pay as you play deal, which is what I understand is on the table, no brainer IMO.

Pray tell,,, how do you understand this pay per play is on the table ?

[Stanley]

Why on earth people are still discussing this?

Because Rio is in transfer talks with QPR.

Why on earth people are still discussing this?

[Geng]

why would Rio want to join us on a deal that was "cost effective" for us?

think about it. why did Hoilett join us when he had much bigger clubs after him? Cesar? Granero? Cisse? Why did Barton leave Newcastle for us? Park? Why did Rob Green leave West Ham?

These players joined us for a reason. We can't go on about being cost effective and getting a great deal and then want to sign big names.

[Johnny Tightlips]

Well we don't know the ins and out of the contract that we want to sign him on, do we? It might actually be quite cost effective and that would not make us the same old QPR c2012, would it?

Which is the correct answer

[fisnik]

I still think it's amazing that someone could say we're not the same QPR we used to be (with the same owner and CEO) on a thread dedicated to us signing Rio Ferdinand.

Short of literally buying Cisse back and bringing Park out of retirement I'm not sure what we could do that would be any more perfect an impression of QPR c2012 than this.
