Rio passes medical

[Kevster269]

He shouldnt even be considered for cup games. We need him for the games that really matter, the ones in our 'mini-league' of the bottom 6-8 clubs. Against the likes of Man City, Liverpool, The scum down the road etc, he should be rested IMO. Great signing and could be the catalyst that makes this a better attempt at teh premiership than the last one!!

Do not really care for this #1lastpayday old carthorse.

all im interested in now is if caulker will follow him.

seems like its out of collison,caulker,vlaar and the chelsea youth player.

1 last pay day? - Think he would be in Qatar or MLS If that was the case

Ric reckons announced at 6 today

[QPR Richard]

Great signing for Rangers.. Think he will improve the team spirit and fit in really well.. Ultimate professional to boot! Joey, Clint and Rio. We have some great leaders in our squad

Ultimate professional eh? I take it you've forgotten about his ban for failing to take a drugs test? How many professionals do that?

Joey, Clint and Rio. We have some great leaders in our squad

we can have as many leaders as we please. When we got found out last term it was lack of pace all over the park. That is the reality.

sky seemed to think the medical wasn't happening until about 5 tonight and the announcement tomorrow. seems about right - the club love stretching things out for as long as possible these days.

Between sky and ric i know which one I trust when it comes to QPR

Why is that?

[Hertford Hoop]

Are we being "MERCED"??? (anyone remember that show? or was it another bad dream?)

Yeah I remember that show, never sure what to make of it really

OK apart from one mistake? I see him as an ultimate professional and I think most people would. He made that mistake about 10 years ago FFS

it does make me laugh that at every opportunity you get you slate Rio!... to be honest mate I was with you and didn't want him here but I am warming to the idea, especially that'll only be short term (more than likely only 1 year). I can see him bringing a lot of positivity to the dressing room and add to the good vibe, something that you can't have enough of especially considering how low it was only a couple of years ago. Also think he'll attract a few signings even if Caulker doesn't come here I can see another young CB wanting to join with Rio being one of the main reasons.

and your point is.. we need quicker players and not someone like Rio?

I'm not sure it was just lack of pace!!

To be fair we have all made mistakes in our past and I think we are endangering ourselves of being over cautious because of our last few failing Prem signings, Park, Bosingwa etc. I thought he came across very well during the World Cup and I think he will be a very good signing indeed, totally different level from the 2 I mention above and will attract others to the club.
