Hugo Rodallega

[LoftusRoadLad]

QPR are ready to make a surprise bid for striker Hugo Rodallega.

The ex-Fulham forward is now at little known Akhisar Belediyespor in Turkey, but has caught the eye of Rs scouts after hitting an amazing 50 goals in 34 games this season and last in that nation's top flight.

He scored a hat-trick against league leaders Beşiktaş in April last year, and by doing so, he became the first foreign player at Akhisar to score three goals in a match.

Wasn't we in for him before he joined Fulham ? I don't think he did much while over here , was hoping for something better tbh

[LoftusRoadLad]

Depending whats his value ?

[bradrangers]

Seems like he could be a handy player but I dont think we are in any position to take a gamble. Really think we need someone proven that we know is going to do a job.

[Is Dom Is Good]

Good year last season admittedly, this season not so much. 16 starts, 4 goals and an assist.... thats a goal every 360 minutes and age isn't on his side. Not keen at all.

I think our scouting network is pathetic and that seems to be what holds us back. Everyone raved about Brian Clough at forest but his assistant Taylor was the talent spotter who was a massive reason for their success. We've never been good at finding quality.

weren't we known for signing gems from the lower leagues and developing them into top players like sinclair, parker, bowles etc?

God i hope it's only paper talk,why get rid of dross like polter just to replace with older dross.

This bloke was on 60 bags a week at Fulham and was ######## no?

Pass.

The same current network that found Wzolek and Sylla?

Would prefer someone closer to home and more championship experienced!

You just never really know what you are getting with these types deals! Another punt and not really the club showing they have learnt their lessons!

[TimPR78]

Problem is a proven championship goal scorer tends to be 10 mill upwards these days!

I don't normally stick my oar in, but my friend ( a Hoop) sent me the article and asked me what I thought. Depends on how you see your position as a club at the moment, turned the corner or in a relegation scrap. If you think the squad has turned a corner and will rise up the table, he might be worth a punt as long as the price and wages are a good fit. If you are worried that you are going to be in a relegation fight I don't think he has the mental toughness or the passion, for lack of a better word to fight to stay up. I would think that there is someone younger who would be a better purchase.

P.S. I don't think he was on 60k a week, it was more like 45k

[LoftusRoadLad]

Thing is who would you rather have, him or Polter or Conor ? Sylla is a stayer.

Was hoping for someone a bit more current in the championship but, when you put it like that, i'd take rodeaga over poltergeist every day of the week.

As long as he is cheap.
