Breaking news re Ferdinand

[QPR Richard]

One question. Would you say no to Vidic?

No I wouldn't. He's also three years younger than Rio, therefore probably got more left in the tank.

[Yousef]

I very much doubt Ferdy's wage is anywhere near £80,000

[Shepherds Mush]

He could bring a huge amount to QPR, not just on the pitch but off it. He will have the utmost respect from any of the playing staff and the younger defenders will all learn and improve as a result of having him playing with them and training with them.

As for him not being the player he was, well no obviously, but at his best was arguably the best defender in world football. Even if 70% of the player he was, he'd still be a hell of a player for QPR. Him and Onouha would be a great pairing. Rio's brain and class with Nedum's pace and power.

Totally agree. Rio will bring a lot to the squad aside from pure ability

If that's the case, would you be happy to pay him around the reported £80,000 a week and give him a 2/3 year contract?

The mirror seem to have gotten hold of all our dealings and released remys sliding cluase and saying rio is getting 30 to 40 k not 80.

Well its also been reported at £40k a week with bonuses for a year - which is a great deal in my book.

Ok, the reported sums vary. Would you hand him a 2/3 year contract?

Does he not have a worse injury record then rio or on a par last few seasons?

[IsleworthRanger]

Must admit I have always thought that Rio has scammed a living as a footballer and is/was possibly the most over rated player in the Premier let alone International football though I of course hope he does very well at QPR if he does sign

I thought we'd moved on from injury records as you've stated Rio's injury record is a myth and he's as fit as a fiddle.

Perhaps as probably Rio's biggest supporter on here, you would like to propose the length of contract he should be given.

That's an interesting comment, and you've probably seen him play, certainly at international level, more than any of us.

Just feel he has an awful first touch though not the be all and end all for a central defender of course and basically hoofs the ball away without any thought of distributing from the back and any pace he did have went a few years ago

What's your obsession with the length of his contract and why go on about 2/3 years based on his fitness and age, when the reports seems to suggest a 1 year deal, which many think would be good for the club. A 3 year deal for any player that age would clearly be ridiculous so what is the point in asking?

Never heard anyone talk about Rio having a poor touch and being the type to just hoof it forward every time rather than play from the back. Shawcross yes, Ferdinand no. But respect your opinion as clearly seen him play in the flesh more than the rest of us.

Football is all about opnions isnt it and many managers with far far more knowledge then me of course have considered him to be one of the worlds top players and paid very good money for him

If what we read that a one year deal is being offered then I would actually be fine with that as every club needs some experience to share with the younger players and I understand he has taken a lot of coaching badges which hopefully he can use to help us during the season
