So Traore and Tarabat out for January..........

[HammersmithR]

Senegal and Morocco have both qualified for the African Cup of Nations so that will mean we will miss these 2 important players for maybe well over a month in January.

Gonna be a big miss.

[Ric-Roc]

Bad bad news.

[MattyRangers]

Need to bring in some quality replacements, even if only short term loans to cover the period they're away. Cant afford to have a weakened side this year when every point matters.

Personally (just thinking on the spot), I reckon maybe Kranjcar & Bertrand?

[Mellowhoop]

Gary borrowdale will do just fine.

[Del]

Traore will be a bigger miss for us probably.

Doubt Taarabt will even be a QPR player then anyhow

[paulmqpr]

Showed how much we miss traore against Foolham, a BIG loss he will be

[QPRDave]

This Africa cup of nations,is it every year ?
Bloody feels like it,and if it is ,why don't they do every 4 like world cup?

[Morris]

Is Traore a regular for Senegal? He only has 1 cap.

I think he only recently announced he would play for them.... didn't he play for French youth teams????

Anyway, he's in their squad now so will be gone.

[Morris]

That's a massive loss, means we have to sign another left back in Jan, at least on loan.

[paulmason]

Traore will be the only loss, as NW with have many options available to him if he does not have to accommodate Taarabt and lets hope he learnt his lesson at Fulham and does not play Luke Young their and screw up two positions.

We could always get a decent left back on loan and play 4-4-2,with DJ and Bothroyd upfront?

Come Januaray I doubt we will be relying on Botchroyd for goals.
