Konchesky signs. Official.

[Norths]

He had that for the first half of last season at Colchester

That's perfect, another loan will do him no harm at all

Teams will have seen what he is capable of in some of our pre-season games and decided they like the look of him, especially league one clubs

Perch Ned Hill Konc

I like the look of that

Wont take no nonsense from the opposition strikers that lot

Perch Ned Jonas Olsson Konchelsky That would be a very physical backline.

Yun - Injured all summer. no one seems to know how or for how much longer. If back tomorrow, he'll need weeks to get match fit.

Traore - Injured, Bad egg, Liability in defence, Better going forward but lives off the memory of 2 good crosses - Destined to go ASAP.

Robinson - Injured until September (last I heard officially), possibly longer, certainly will need longer to get match fit, maybe Xmas. That's if he ever recovers fully ! I doubt many on this board (or others) have seen him play or know how good he is. Likewise Ramsey. General expectation that 'he must be good coz we gave Liverpool £1m for him ?'

Hill - Said 4 years ago he can't play LB anymore and finally it seems like we've stopped asking him. CB cover from now on only.

Kpekawa - Good prospect, but clearly CR/LF don't see him as ready for the Championship level just yet. I agree a loan is likely once Yun is fully fit.


So, for me, Konchesky is a good signing, minimal cost, gives 100% and will tied us over for 1 season until Yun, Robinson & Kpekawa find their natural standings in the future. Leciester fans may be glad to see him go, but they are in the Premiership and we're not.

Hopefully, we'll get £2m loan fee for Fer, bring in a CB & a GK and we're good for Charlton. IMO

I don't think it's the greatest signing but do NOT agree with this. He is past his best, yes, not the most exciting signing at all but he is a proven steady LB that will more than do a job. Think he's far more reliable than these 2.

I agree he is probably more reliable but I would still prefer to have Yun and Kpekawa in the side. Left back was not a priority area to adress. Centre back needs sorting out as does centre forward options. Austin will go, and so he needs replacing now. If for whatever reason he doesnt then QPR will have much needed back up and options.

Edit - having read through the injured options this was a good position to address and Konchesky fits the bill.

Defender joins from Leicester City
Konchesky also played for Saturday's opponents Charlton Athletic
A PLAYER with over 550 professional appearances to his name, Paul Konchesky will add a wealth of experience to the QPR squad.

The 34 year-old left-back arrives on a season-long loan from Leicester City, whom he joined from Liverpool in July 2011 for an undisclosed fee.

will be good cover not a bad champ player would be proper annoyed if we were still in the prem and got him prem isn't his level

[Rangers77]

With an england keeper steady as a rock behind them, oh and about a hunnid midfielders to choose from and austin still not sold with three days to go. Any one for more coffee? Free refills.

Works for me.

Corky is right on.

Put like that I agree PK is a good signing. i have to disagree about Hill ad CB cover,because as of today, he is one of only 2 CBs at the club. Hopefully a decent CB will be signed before the season starts.

[stanistheman]

Not that old is he?

He must be pushing 50.

[stanistheman]

Yep

Going out on loan at his age, when he could sit out the final year of his contract at leicester, tells you all you need to know about his desire to play

Complete opposite of the likes of SWP etc

Yes full credit to him for that.

Dont look like no party going on to celebrate him leaving, loads of kind words and thanks to him.

Looks 50/50 to be fair. Which probably means he could do an ok job for us at this level.

Absolutely essential Stan. In fact, I hope we sign 2 good CB's ASAP, making Clint 4th choice cover.
Problem is we have no youth options at CB since Ehmer, Donaldson left.

[vanhoop]

Very good signing.

[wortonranger]

Jesus wept give the bloke a chance n get behind him he plays for us after all....shocking 'welcome' from some of you...nothing short of shameful!

Well said facto!
