Kelman

Bring him home

Exactly!

The debate can rage on as to how good he actually is, but at this moment in time he's definitely better than what we currently have, ie nothing.

Surely an emergency recall is needed.

Imagine the scenario where we go down, could have recalled our only fit striker who is scoring on a regular basis, but chose not to.
Good luck explaining that to your loyal fan base mr Nourry.

Another two goals this evening. Twenty one goals scored so far, yet, some still doubt him.

What about the lad Kone at Wycombe too?

He's leading the L1 scoring table and is 21ys. At 6ft I'm sure he could lead the line and will have one year left on his contract in the summer.

Frey & Kone could fight it for the one striker role when it's going to be a battle, and Kelman & Kolli the smaller more agile players.

We paid circa £1.5m for Celar and surely what we can chop him in for would get Kone?

Proper fox in the box. Not a big boy just a pain for defenses. Reminds me of a certain Kevin Phillips

I had high hopes when he joined us. Didn't work out. For me, his future lies elsewhere. Doing well, good luck to him.

Isn't he American? USA are having a nightmare under Pochetino currently. The players are getting the flak though, being deemed lazy due to the 1st XI being settled for 4 or 5 years. There are calls for new blood to be given a chance.

Be interesting if Kelman's L1 exploits got him a call up. Outside chance that his stock/value could hit a high this summer if we were to flog him.

I think after 2 pages, what you rangers fans aren't thinking is that Kelman ain't very good!

We paid, what, £2m for Washington after a great season in L1? If we dont need Kelman hopefully there's a team out there who will throw a few coins our way. A £500k + 25% sell on would be great.

He's not a lone striker so if there's some value there get him sold to avoid seeing leave on a free further down the line.

Great that he is scoring goals but it doesn't make any difference. He's isn't suited to the way we set up or play. He's too small to be a target man. He needs to play next to something, not on his own.

He will be on the bench so he's wasting his career with us. Good luck to him if he can get a good contract at a decent club.

I agree, but could he play nos 10.?

Marti will need to have a very good look at him and see whether Lloyd needs to go out on loan.

Some players thrive by playing regularly and Kelman may be one of them. He won't be a starter for us as a loan striker so you say.

Perhaps we can get £500k and a 25% sell on for him from a top L1 club?

Difficult to see a great outcome now we have let a player get to their last year of contract (assuming he's our until 2026)... in no particular order I reckon these are the possible scenarios:

1) He signs a 2-yr extension and tears up The Championship for us.

2) He won't sign an extension, goes out on loan again next season. Then leaves.

3) He won't sign an extension, but we manage to get a moderate 6 figure sum for him over the summer.

4) He wont sign an extension, becomes a piece of deadwood at the club for 12 months. Then leaves.

5) He won't sign an extension, does very well for us next season. Then leaves.

I literally have no idea which one will pan out.

[SheepRanger]

I am sure that I read somehwere that he has one more year left with us. MC also said that the club will look into the Kelman situation at the end of the season. If not, its another fine mess we end up in!

Transfermarkt says his contract is up at Orient, but nothing about our contract. Perhaps I've got the wrong end of the stick having found this below.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/qpr-face-huge-charlie-kelman-transfer-decision/

"Contrary to some beliefs, the 23-year-old isn’t out of contract with his parent club, and that means that a decision on Kelman’s future doesn’t necessarily mean a decision has to be made this summer, which is a good position for QPR to be in heading into the summer. The fact that Kelman’s deal doesn’t expire will have interesting implications on any potential transfer, as suitors will be forced to cough up a fee that the R’s demand if he’s to be sold. It seems highly unlikely that Cifuentes will want to loan the striker out again".

The lack of transparency on Qpr contracts is very frustrating.

[Martinmalta]

I dont think hes going to save us that money because he won't be our player in the summer due to his contract expiring. We will have to go into the mix with other clubs if Marti fancies him. We didn't loan him out to develop him, we loaned him out because he wanted him off our books in the last year of his contract. That's my understanding of the situation.

He's on 18 goals now with some more games to go. He will hit the 20 mark soon. To keep insisting that he is not good enough for CCC is pure madness. Some are making their comments based on what they saw when last played for us. The guy improved a lot. Is it not why players are loaned out? He may save us a few millions!
