QPR in pole position to sign Baird

[The Godfather]

Sorry if already mentioned - rumours circulating on Twitter that we've signed Baird from Fulham. Another player over 30 years of age - it does seem that Harry is opting for a squad with experience, which may prove to be a good thing, but I have to say this isn't a signing that would 'blow my mind'. Could be rubbish, obviously, but what are people's thoughts?

[qpr]

Harry was right, mind blowing players. Sigh

[Factamondo]

solid n dependable on a cold wet night in blackburn.....aint no hiding place for luxuary players in the skybet!

We thought we had the "mind blowing " players last year and look what happened!
Rather have the likes of Baird, Henry and O'Neil!!

HR reveals why he wants Baird

The manager joked: “Chris keeps passing to his own team, which is a new game we’re trying to play this year.

He can play left-back, right-back, centre-half midfield; he’s a bright type. He only came in Thursday but I’ve always liked him.

The players I’ve signed so far all speak the same language. You say ‘good morning’ and they say ‘good morning’ back. I want lads who want to be here and with that attitude.”

Love that line!!!! Nice humour but Harry is correct!!!

[ollyhoops]

I can see what type of squad HR is building and it is growing on me.... although we will soon see after the first 5 games.

Chris Baird? Well I think he would be a useful addition for what we want, and he would make a great utility player. I wonder how much they want for him?

I thought you were taking the p!ss until I clicked on the link!!

Versatile utility player, plenty of top-flight experience, he's a free agent so no transfer fee, and at 31 is by no means past it.

Baird is from Northern Ireland, not Essex facto. You sure that still counts?

[Factamondo]
