Fabio agrees QPR loan deal

[OneSizeFitzHall]

You heard it here first. Just turned down Benfica.

[QPRDUBLIN]

Queens Park Rangers will have Manchester United defender Fabio on loan for next season. (via @ Fourth_Official). All on twitter.

[bushcelt1]

is he that good?? not overwhelmed here.

[QPRDUBLIN]

Can't be too bad. In Brazil's senior squad before xmas. And its a loan. Clever business.

[SuperHoopNik]

Erm....

So who's gonna start at left back for us next season? Taiwo, Traore or Fabio?

[taarabt7]

He's a good player. His twin brother Rafael is a bit better though. IF true, what does this mean for Taiwo and Traore? One of them will surely go. Ferguson has said he wants to send Fabio out on loan so the player can get first-team experience, so if the young Brazilian has turned down a massive club like Benfica for us, then surely it's because we've promised him he will start games.

[SuperHoopNik]

Left-back was one of the positions we DIDN'T need to change.

[taarabt7]

He has played at right-back for United a few times, perhaps that's where he will play for us IF the rumours are true

[Ric-Roc]

Traore left wing is his stronger position.

Taiwo left back but nothing wrong with having another LB also. Need 2 quality players for each position in the Prem.

Then we won't need Young or Onuoha then. Unless Onuoha is shifted to centre-back and either AF or Hill drops out.

[SuperHoopNik]

Traore left wing is his stronger position.

Taiwo left back but nothing wrong with having another LB also. Need 2 quality players for each position in the Prem.

That's true, but then we'll have to play with one striker then? Well that's if Taarabt is to drop out of the starting lineup but I doubt he will

[QPRJACK123]

Yeah, can see him moving to RB, then Onouha moves to CB in replace of Hill

[QPRDUBLIN]

We need a strong bench too guys. We do lack strength in depth so not necessarily someone leaving.

[SuperHoopNik]

So it could look like this

-Fabio-Onuoha-Hill-Taiwo-
Mackie-Diakite-Faurlin-Traore
------(striker) (striker)---------

Or one behind the striker

[DeepcutHoop]

Unexpected, but certainly wouldn't weaken the squad.
