Summer Transfer Window

[SheepRanger]

Would love Saito back if true, price about right albeit lot of money for us.

See Yang has joined Pompey on one year loan. Liked him but raw and not sure how much game time he would have got with us, at least starts.

Id love him back too.

There's upside on Saito's transfer fee if we get him for £2m plus add ons as he's still only 24 yrs within a few days. Also, how much do you put on a player who's fit enough to play 40+ games!! We could get him playing regularly and possibly make a few shillings on him in a few years.

Im glad Yang has gone elsewhere as we have more experienced players now that can be developed for our benefit, not for those hotspurs!

"Koki Saito’s return to QPR appears to be ‘imminent’ according to reliable journalist Kazu Kakiuchi. QPR have reportedly made an offer for the Japanese winger to return back to the R’s ahead of the 25/26 campaign. The fee is believed to be around £2-£3 million. Saito appeared 42 times for the R’s last season where he impressed".

No way for that money. Put it towards kone makes more sense. We got poku, Dembele, chair and Kolli who can all play on the left. We need another forward.

Great news if true

I like Saito, he always gives 100%, but I am not sure we should spend £3 million on him though.

Yeh his dad is his agent. Whether it's a guarantee over mins or where he plays but theres definitely an issue. Was even mentioned that Kolli is starting to have a bit of an ego and that his body language during games etc is an issue.

Hope its just bull but no smoke without fire.....

Guarantee on minutes.? If you play well and score goals you'll get more minutes than he can cope with due to his onjury record. It's a squad game and he'll get enough minutes through rotation and the rest is up to him.

I can understand the position side of things. If he sees himself as a CF and JS wants to play him as a Nos 10 or coming in from the wing then thats a problem which can be resolved by selling an unhappy player.

It could be taken as good news that Kolli is so keen to get in the team. Better that than some lazy ####er taking money and happy to sit on the bench. I doubt there's much to this.....Im sure clubs are used to handling pushy parents and agents and explaining the facts of life to young pups!

Clearly there's another problem with Kolli. Apparently his dad been up to his old tricks.

His Dad is his agent rught?

What are the "rumours" on whats been going on?

[Dono77]

we do seem to have an insane amount of injuries - and to Key first team players .

the silence surrounding Kolli, Smyth and Frey is odd.

Lloyd will go on loan but if he is not injured and we don't have any other fit strikers i don't understand why he isn't playing for us in the preseason and early games - he could go on loan at the end of hte transfer window.

Of the other on the list

Varane will surely play
Dunne hopefully was precautionary as was Dembele
Cook i think will feature less regularly.
JCS - who knows !
And the Brazilian left back will probably be on the bench as cover for Larcheche

we are short at Left back!

Clearly there's another problem with Kolli. Apparently his dad been up to his old tricks. As much as I like Rayan, hes not the next Eze. Plus hes got a poor injury record for a lad who's only 20 and cant seem to keep himself fit. Billy big balls????

Smyth isn't injured apparently either. So more nonsense going on. How we have gone into the first game of the season with no strikers who have only played some/none of pre season is a joke!

Burrell not even had a minute in a game! Celar needs a move. Another waste of the little money we had left. Frey cant even stay fit for pre season now let alone the start of the actual season.

The club need to sort this mess out.....fast!!

Come on Rangers, give us an update.

Max Lowe - is he coming or was it all just nonsense? Strong rumours on forums and at ground on sat that we were hoping to sign him. Huge upgrade on fox imo. Seems to have gone quiet for a guy that served his notice to his club after not getting paid.

Hard to gauge whether the rumours are just 1 person making it up/speculating or whether there’s substance to it. . Same with the fella Ba who has been allegedly signing for the past 2 weeks.

I’d be fairly relaxed if we didn’t have so many injuries and players who have hardly featured or not featured in pre season; the list is ridiculous;

JCS
Celar
Frey
Kolli
Lloyd
Smyth
Dembele ?
Esqui (young left back from Brazil)
Varane
Cook ?
Dunne ?

11 players who are unlikely to feature on Saturday (that’s half our squad )or maybe 20 mins in the case of Varane

Dembele, Cook and Dunne all hobbled off on Saturday

A sorry state of affairs

TWO year deal is the key at his age- I'm guessing there's no way we'd offer more than 12 months. Because players pay 45% tax, even if Fox takes a pay drop, the 24 months of net pay from Wigan will tot up very well in comparison to the 12 month total we were probably offering.

Good shout.
