Warnock on DJ, Puncheon and another defender

[Morris]

The focus for a defender at present should be LB IMO

Wouldn't mind Bertrand on loan.

I'd agree, but that really is beside the point. The main cause for concern is to do with the fact that Neil wanted Wayne, and just wasn't backed.

Well do we really know if Warno didnt wabble at 2mil plus, and the reported 25 grand a week on top

[QPR1976]

There seems to be a few assumptions about Wayne Routledge -

That our Board would not sanction his wages.
His required wages are above our salary cap (I've read up to 40k elsewhere)
That he's a proven Premiership player.

But it's quite possible that although Warnock wanted to keep him, he decided he doesn't want to deal with certain people at QPR again having been shipped out once before.
Likewise Graham may have decided to show some loyalty to his old boss.

Spot on.
I like Clint, but we cant rely on him at LB for an entire season.

But Bradley Orr?? I don't quite get the clamour to replace him, ahead of other positions.
He's not Kyle Walker, but not many are. We were spoilt with Kyle, and Bradley has suffered because of that comparison.

I think Bradley Orr is a lot better than many are giving him credit for. Solid defender, and not a bad footballer either.

Nail on head!

we are fighting a relegation battle. Not aiming for Europe.

Better stack up on League 1 rejects and Premier League misfits then.....

Ramshackle United.......Need to get down the local park see if there is anyone who looks half decent...worth a go in the tougest league in world football....

Imagine if we had billionaire owners.....

Fair point and thought he has looked far and away our best defender in the friendlies I have seen....at least he displays some energy...

This talk of Routs is getting beyond the pale He's good at about the same price a DJ ,He's more likey a better player tha Punch but the difference is buy Punch and we can sign another player wether on a perm, or a couple on loan it could come down Routs and thats your lot, or Punch and 2 f/backs I kow wich way I would go

[Bigdave]

Havent seen much of Puncheon but i like the fact he has pace and can play in a few positions.We certanly lacked pace but with him and DJ now we have injected a bit into the side, if he joins of course.

Starting to feel slightly more confident.

Would love another CM and defender though.
