Josh Bowler

[Brian Wilson]

Worth mentioning that evertons head of recruitment Steve Walsh was the one that found Mahrez and Kante for Leicester... knows talent when he sees it.

I thought our own Gary Penrice had taken some credit for these deals?

Yep, according to another poster on here

[davieqpr]

Gary Penrice is not our own. He is a Scouting Consultant and works for other teams as well. We have a Chief Scout who is our own.

Sell now while the offer is there

Good luck to him

[Shepherds Mush]

If he don't want to stay then get as much as we can for him while we can.

[Timmy the Doc]

Not going to miss him.

[shaggy24]

Not going to miss him.

for whats its worth theres a lot in the squad i wouldn't miss either!

[Shepherds Mush]

Sell him then request first refusal when Everton invariably put him out on loan

Or stick a big sell on clause in there like we did with Raheem Sterling.
In fact, get rid. Him rejecting a contract means he doesn't want to play for QPR. So get a few mill out of Everton for him, stick a sell on clause in there, and use the money for a couple of decent defenders.

[Hove Ranger]

Everton have to agree to any clauses and add ons too. If the kid has rejected our contract offer then our bargaining position has weakened. We either sell him now for what everton offer us or lose him to tribunal in summer. Everton wont pay over the odds now that this is the situation.

Probably having an agent breathing down his ear or a parent think their kid is the next Rinaldo

It would be a gamble, but they could turn the offer down and actually put Bowler in the team next season in the hope that he has a great season like Dembele and Sessagnon did for Fulham and then if he leaves the tribunal could easily set a £4m initial payment with add ons a d a sell on fee.
Of course, Bowler could end up being not so good and QPR get a pittance.

I am not sure what Everton have offered but it seems it is worth up to £3m , so that could be £1.5m initial payment which in all honesty is not that great anyway.

So you're suggesting keep him for 1 season and hope the tribunal pays 4 mill? Good luck with that

No chance, even if he plays every game next season.

The tribunal system was set up to protect clubs from spending a fortune developing a player just to have him poached by a bigger club just before they have realised their full potential. The fact that we picked Bowler up for free a year ago means that we really haven't invested much in him at all, and the tribunal will see that.

If he doesn't want to extend and Everton have made a fair offer then we'd be bonkers not to accept!
