Rio Ferdinand in jan?

[Ginger Ninja]

Mackie over Taarat ?, some said that was madness a few weeks ago, but hey ho.

In a toss up between the 2, adel is a better player. His attitude let's him down and is the reason why people want mackie.

[QPRDave]

Bloody hell, some people express an opinion about players, and others jump down their throats! Some might think Rio is a good player, but others don't. I happen to believe the major part of his game, pace, is gone.

Agree to disagree eh?

Yeah that's true opinions are all different, and it would be boring if we thought the same.
I'd take him though

Completely different situation, Paul. You know it. Poor comparison. Taarabt doesn't want to be here. Couldn't give a s**t, and is disruptive. It's obvious or players don't want to play with him.

Fact is, and this really isn't just opinion, Rio is better than Bassong. I'd wager money that 'Arry sees it the same as well.

Cast your mind back...spurs were going to sell him to us if they had got cahill.

I know, that's my point. If he was no good they would have sold him.

Also, Why do I have to agree with you and why am I not allowed my own opinion without you nitpicking ?

That makes no sense mate. They didn't sell him because they had no backup. It would have been a silly move if he'd sold him without having a replacement. I think that's already been proven.

Ferdinand is a good player, I would prefer Bassong though.

Init f**king great that the players we are debating over are the likes of, bassong, ferdinand
etc rather than, with no disrespect intended, Gorkks, Jay Simpson, Ched Evans etc

FFS, someone else said he was a reserve team player not me and that was the reason i said they did not sell him If you read what I said you will see that.

Some of my best memories of decent football from the Rangers have been the times when we've had a few so called "past it" players in our team, for example, Ray Wilkins (before he was manager of course!).

We are never, as long as we've got a hole in our &rse, going to attract the likes of Rio Ferdinand in his prime. We are a club that for the most part is going to have to rely on "scraps" for a while yet..... just like we used to last time we were in the top flight.

Then again - we have a history of making some lovely dishes out of those scraps (of course we've made some crappy ones too.....)

[LeeCookFan]

Rio would be a good signing. And all of you going 'I'd rather have Bassong' who said we have the choice? or cant have both?

[QPR Richard]

It's interesting that some people are wanting us to sign a player that would be pushing 34 when he comes, a long history of injuries, lost pace, on seriously high wages, and his best days behind him. We would be buying a reputation rather than potential.

Is that the kind of player we want to sign to take us to the next level?

[Westbyfleetr]

Few examples:

Dave Webb
Ray Wilkins
Tony Currie
Trevor Francis
Frank McClintock
Paul Furlong
Heidar

then again:

Warren Barton
Mark Hately

[paulmason]

I wonder if Rio is quicker than Clint Hill, as he is deemed to slow for QPRF C by some on here.

[stan_bowles]

Would rip Fergie's hand off to take Rio............


.......providing his fitness is up to it.

Don't need another high paid Dyer if he is gonna spend more time injured than playing.

This would be one signing when we need to be 100% he is actually fit enough.

As for quality,his record says it all.
