Summer Transfer Window

Fox and Colback are not in any of the photos published so far during training. Are they off?

Wouldn't surprise me. Two defenders confirmed this week, another apparently terms agreed. Still need a LB but can't see Fox getting too much game time. Colback I see being behind Field, Varane and Morgan and also suspect we will sign another central midfielder or two either permanent or on loan.

I cant see anymore players linked through NewsNow.........anything rumoured through X etc???

[shaggy24]

Who do you think will go before deadline day

can see Lloyd go out for the season on loan maybe the lads from development squad tuck, Bennie possibly Emerson Sutton given caliber ahead of him at mo but he’s could equally be kept at hq

still think we need a lb i know vale can play lb but he’s sees himself further up the pitch

all in all look far better equipped than last term

Rumours that interest in Kelman is heating up. As an unknown quantity at championship level Im sure we've learnt our mistakes from the passed and will cash in. WBA leading the pack....apparently.

We've been crying out for a striker since the best days of Austin. Now that we have one that cost us peanuts, we want to sell without give him a run in the first team? What's the point in selling a player that could make the difference? And if a club higher up the table is interested, is it enough evidence that he may actually be good. We just signed Poku and everyone is happy. Well, Kelman was up there with him for best player in Div 1.

Bright Osayi-Samuel is wanted by Birmingham. How the hell are they able to afford him? I'm baffled by Birmingham's spending power with FFP. Wrexham also but I know they are a different kettle of fish with Hollywood stuff.

Agree re Kelman has to given an opportunity regardless of level 27 goals ain’t easy and obviously knows where the net is

£4-5m sell on fee for Jobe Bellingham helps.

Listened to a Really interesting podcast about championship teams and their finances for next season and generally about how well they are run.

basically Leicester and Sheff weds are f*cked
Watford and Hull are in serious trouble.

but when the expert was asked who currently in the championship was being well run - he said this will surprise a lot of people but QPR are probably the best run team in the league! Who’d have thought.

don’t know how to post a link but the podcast is called Second tier and it was this weeks episode

With the club no longer disclosing contract information it's hard to know how much longer he has with us. His last contract expired Jun24 and as an unproven player he may only have been offered a two year deal, so it's quite plausible that he's into the last year of his contract, but perhaps with an option for another year??? If we get offered silly money then he has to go because the model is to have a sustainable club. Silly money being upwards of £10m. But if offers come in around £5m and JS likes him, he should be prepared to sign a new contract to stay with us.

Reporter saying that Larkeche will get a new contract with QPR:

Makes sense but not sure he's gonna be a that guy we need. Even on his best day he wasn't better than paal who I didn't rate. We need to find another harrison burrows type. Sheff u bought him from posh when we really should have got him the year before. There are lads out there in the lower leagues. Maybe the Brazilian lad is good enough but that's a lot of pressure on a young lad who has never played in a real match in this country before.

Pboro replaced Burrows with lad Harley Mills scored a belter of free kick v brum in final he won mom 19 wand of a left foot on him he won’t be at posh much more than next season

Watched the kids final Brazil kid is rapid is he ready for a big step up maybe, Larkeche did ok but Scotland hardly toughest of leagues

[Sleeping Giants]

Not QPR but how do Birmingham get to spend £10 Million (although not immediately) and still fit within FFP. Are we all playing to the same rules or are they benefitting from their season in League 1 somehow?

And they're apparantly also linked to £5.5 Million signing of Demarai Gray. Just how?
