Spurs accept QPR's Parker bid

[stanistheman]

I agree - I wasn't actually being serious.

If the fools do gazump us on Parker I won't be too bothered. Would be a good signing but I don't think he would make or break our season or anything. Anyway, it would be pretty much what we did to Newcastle with Remy so can't really complain. Other then the fact that it is the fools, of course.

Why does everyone refer to Fulham as foolham/fools?

They have managed to stay in the top flight for 13 seasons, QPR managed 2 after acting like complete fools!

If it's going to happen we'll announce it tomorrow, seem to always announce signings on a Thursday.

Interesting that most of the people ITK about QPR have been asked to keep quiet from now on.

Parker in will mean Barton out.

Didn't realise Parker was being signed to play wide right.

I agree.

Why do we not refer to them as their preferred name: "Cottagers".

Not necessarily. Why do people think this? People bang on about wages but Joey isn't going to walk away for free is he. We might as well keep Joey for this season and if he performs well then someone might want to pay a nominal fee for him next summer or he stays.

They often play in different midfield positions; Parker central and Barton on the right.
Add Faurlin in a more attacking cm position and QPR's midfield trio could be a big success this season.
Henry, Jenas and O'Neil could be used as subs, with Granero, Mbia and Diakite likely to go.

Probably because QPR fans seem to think that QPR are one of the bigger clubs and like to look down at the likes of Fulham & Norwich (even though we should be looking up to them).

faurlin's strengths dont suit attacking mid. if this deal meant faurlin was out i don't mind it failing. scott parker was great 2 years ago, he'll decline rapidly over the next year or two IMO

should also arry to keep his mouth shut

Steady. It's just a play on their name. I don't actually think they are all fools. I am sure that all clubs have similar names for each other.

A lot of people seem to be taking things waaaay too seriously on here lately.

He's not. Any one of O'Neil/ Assaidi/ Townsend / Philips or whoever else we decide to bring in will play on the right.

Do you think Barton will be here in October?

[DouDou_87]

Are you ITK then?

Far from it. Just think Barton's exit is a matter of 'when' and not 'if'.

Rule number 1-never look up to any other club.
Rule 2-we as rangers should look down on poxy fulham.
Part of who we are imo.

Until any of those players arrive, HR thinks Barton is the correct choice to play on the right. Your post suggested that Parker coming in would result in Barton going out and the analogy is quite a simple one - Parker in, Barton out = one being a direct replacement for the other. That clearly is no correct.
I didn't expect Barton to be here or in HR's plans now let alone in October but then again, I cannot predict what HR is thinking. If he is still here then I assume that's because he is wanted by HR or can't find a suitor.
