I know it’s part of the plan but it’s hard to take when a talent like that leaves the club . Haven’t felt like that with players leaving in the past . He was a joy to watch even though some amazingly called him lazy .

Wouldn't say he was lazy just lacked stamina

Eze was brought in to sell off. Its all part of the plan.

Keep up the man!

There will be more to follow, perhaps some even more heart-breaking than Eze.

The loss of Eze is my biggest concern , he is irreplaceable, made us tick .

Given that Eze didn’t miss a game last season, we will
soon see how we get on without him. Arguably, our starting 11 on Saturday versus the team we had v WBA will be better. We didn’t have a striker, no Grant Hall, could only have 5 subs and we still managed to draw 2-2 ......

Ok so at worst it’s a player we didn’t lose because we bought him .

The bloke doesn’t get it Stains, if I was you I’d give up trying to educate him

Apologies I forgot Carroll.
what is there not to get? Yes Amos left after his loan ended but he was playing for QPR last season therefore is not an addition to the number of players we had. Granted he has cost us a fee this time around but we are not disputing funding instead this is about squad numbers.

Amos , Dykes , Thomas , Dickie and Carroll . I don’t get your take on Amos as he was no longer our player once the season ended , he is now for the next 3 years .

Yes we have until 5th October, but by then we could have already lost 4 matches. Just as we did 2 seasons ago when we left it late - and those of us who had been asking for signings since June were told we have until end of August!

So what do we do Stan ? Do we demand that clubs sell us their players right now or else ? Do you think we have no bids on the table for anymore players ? How is the Bos and Manning situation going to unfold ? You make it all sound so easy when in reality it isn’t . We may well lose the first 4 games and you can turn round and say I told you so if that’s what you want . This is how the transfer Merry go round works , we are no different to other clubs trying to do business.

The problem is this club doesnt appear to learn lessons well. We have been asking to buy our own striker since 2017 and only did so a few weeks ago.

I actually think we are both singing from the same hymn sheet to be honest , I recognise we need to bring a few in but I’m prepared to give the club the full transfer window to do it . Like I said 5 in already and more to come ./QUOTE]

5? I make it 3 as Amos was part of last season's squad , including the restart mini season. By the way, QPR lost 5 of those 9 games with only 2 wins and the games were not exactly the hardest ones, were they?

Why only the final game of last season?
i am referring to last season's squad as a whole. Of course we are depleted. In case you forgot we picked up a lot of points in the 2019 part of it (enough to have helped keep us up ).

we are replacing some experienced pros with untried kids and I seriously doubt they will be as good.
I think you have you
r rose tinted specs on and keep trying to add gloss to this poor situation we are in.

Who have we lost from our last game of last season ? Hugil , Eze , Rangel , Leistner . Of which Eze is going to be hard to replace , Hugil replaced by Dykes , Rangel was to old to keep and the emergence of Kakay with Kane as cover is enough and Leistner hadn’t kicked a ball for us in 6 months .Yes we need a few in but we haven’t been as decimated as you make out .
