Chris Mepham

[Martinmalta]

Another one that we missed. He is a lifelong R's fan; spent six years at the Chelsea academy, yet, when released and came to us, was told...."by Queens Park Rangers they couldn't find a single attribute of his to work on!" As reported by HITC website. Yet, an offer of 6.5 million from Bournemouth was rejected by Brentford. He's on a 5-year contract and looks a great prospect. What is it with this club that they always miss out on stars that supported the R's? Granted that at first he opted to join Chelsea, and only came to us after he was released. It seems that now we have people that can judge a player properly when they see one. In the meantime, he can join the like of Barnes, Adomoah, Pearce, Wise etc. All R's fans that were rejected as players.

Literally the first time I've ever heard of the guy is this thread.

I thought you were Welsh Ginge

That literally has nothing to do with me not knowing who the bloke is

Just had a look at him on Wikipedia, he apparently has played 15 games for Brentford since 2016. How on earth does this mean we've missed out?

Who?

He's 20 years old. True, that he only played around 16 games, however, already caught the eyes of Premier scouts. Our own Eze and Smyth played very little. They've not played 16 games each so far, however, they are great prospects, no? Will you be surprised if an offer for any of them is made after playing more then 10 games and continue to improve?

Bowler caught the eye of a prem club, possibly the worst decision he made

Josh Bowler caught the attention of Everton too. Dean Parrett if you want to go back in time caught the attention of Spurs. Where are they now? I get the sentiment but to start a thread moaning about missing out on a player who never even played for our youth is a bit silly imo.

Not playing for Everton?..or Not playing for QPR?

I think the boy would've been playing for Rangers by now, think it's a bad decision moving to Everton, Cricket
