If this is true, by all means it is a good sign. At least we would know that HR recognizes the deficiency.

[Stanley]

Good goals per game ratio - virtually 1 in 2 for both club and country.

Almeida was also on Mirror's list of top ten free agents:

Ronaldinho
Hugo Almeida
Adriano
Joseph Yobo
Jonas
Victor Valdes
Jack Collison
George McCartney
Juan Agudelo
Park Chu-Young

The above article suggests that Yobo, Collison, Agudelo and Park could be suitable signings for QPR.

I think we really need to sign a striker or two, and for that we should consider Jonas, Agudelo, Almeida, Park and Adriano (although he does sound like trouble).

Frankly, I'd feel better if we could sign any of the strikers in the above. Almeida would be great.

Leicester looking at him too...both desperate for some cover

[Del]

We cant change the 25, so what's the point now as he cant play until Jan, by which time we can get another striker we actually want...

[Rangers77]

That. Who goes out of the 25? That excrement bag SWP isn't going to go on loan awhere even if we pay his wages.....

[Joon]

If we put him up front, I doubt SWP could get us even 1 goal in 5 games.

[West Acton]

Think Del is right once 25 is named it cant be changed even if we sent on out of loan. If we wanted to bring a free agent in should have only named 25 so we have perhaps done ourselves unless there is a rule change which allows the 25 to be amended

[Yousef]

Let's just give Vargas a go upfront. We have no other choices at the moment and Matty Phillips can't kick it as striker.

He should never have been given a squad place regardless of wages and not going on loan. We should have kept one place open in the event we found a good free agent player.

Only thing I need clarifying is the status of Ehmer, although named in the 25, is he classed as under 21 due to his time of birth, ie, he turned 21 this year?

I'm pretty sure you can't leave a space if you have a contracted, eligible player to fill it.

He's not classed as under 21. He has to be born on or after January 1st 1993, according to the official website.

Never believe anything the mirror prints can't change the 25 so nothing happening until the new transfer window opens, which us the only time players can be changed.

If we put him up front, I doubt SWP could get us even 1 goal in 50 games.

I've amended it for you Joon, as you were obviously under the influence of some narcotic to have put 1 in 5 !
