Think there are a few Norfolk who would open the cheque book

Tarbie your spot on about fans adjusting expectations I fear some are still in the mind set of you got keep up with the Jones’

were operating in totally new ball park

don't think anyone believes that we have loads of money available to keep up with the Jones,more frustrated that the club have gone from recruiting far to many players to the other end of the spectrum and leaving us short in areas with just a few days left until the start of the season.
Every season we get the usual 'we will get our business done early from the board but is the same old story that we fail to do so. they would be better off not saying anything.
we are not the only club working under constraints but they still manage to recruit in the areas needed. The club is just happy to amble along and hopefully avoid relegation each year but still charge a premium to watch it,absolutely no ambition to move forwards but seems like fans aren't allowed to have expectations of us competing.

Possibly knocks tine will tell. Got be better ball park, long term, then one which could have seen club go out of business

The window closes a week on Thursday. That's close enough for me and I guess many others.

we don't have many options in the squad; Liestner, Lynch Baptiste, Hall and Phillips (both injured) at present.

But we've got no idea whatsoever what is going on behind the scenes. For all you know, Les may have adequate back up plans ready and waiting if a deal can't be struck for Sainsbury.

Also worth noting that Charlie Owens has been playing Centre Half and looking good for the U23's. Osman Kakay is also capable of playing there. I'll admit that I'd prefer there was cover with more experience. But I suspect these guys wouldn't disappoint if called upon.

People need to realise that this season we will be operating with a smaller, and younger squad. We may need to put a bit of trust in some younger players who don't have much in the way of first team experience. The whole process will be a lot easier if we accept this, stop complaining so much, and get behind the players. Personally I'm much happier with this arrangement than signing overpaid mercenaries like we were a few years back.

Agree 82 my worry would be what other teams they playing hardball with can’t imsgine were only side interested

[qprjeff1882]

I think we will come to some agreement. They are playing hardball as much as we are. They will not want to lose him for nothing especially as they've already told him he will not be part of their squad and will sit the last 6 months in the reserves. It's not as if they will even miss his services. They are just being stubborn.

[stanistheman]

We should only loan players if (a) we are going for promotion or (b) we are worried about relegation otherwise not worth it.

One problem with loans is that they can be recalled in January and if that happened QPR would be up the creek without a paddle when the embargo kicks in.

I prefer the buying option when it comes to defenders we desperately need.

[stanistheman]

But it ain't reached a point of being too late yet. Not even close actually!

Still no news? Hm...

For me the scouting is better than I can remember for thirty years at least , I'd say they are targeting players !! if I was to look anywhere I'd look at the board being to hesitant or maybe the manager has his own ideas , I think the players that have come in over the last 18 months plus the amount of trialist that are being brought to the club vindicate our present scouting network

i agree. we've signed a lot of good players over the past 2-3 years and have also brought in a tonne of new youth prospects for the future. it is exciting but we still have to be patient, we're in a position where we have to build a team slowly
