3 or 4 more signings..

Agree with your other comments esp the need for someone to play CM but as a fan base we HAVE to grow out of this idea that the board has 'only' spent 3m. The money that has left or will leave the bank account of the club as a result of Mark Hughes's transfer activity SO FAR this summer will, at a wild guess, be nothing short of £20m. Just think in an earlier window Joey Barton's "free transfer" committed the club to a reported £15m in signing on fees/ salary. Take Rob Green. Bet there was a couple of million signing on fee (or if not massively increased wages to reflect the "free" nature of the transfer) and probably 30/40k a week for, what, three years? If you do the math, that alone is serious money. I probably want very similar additions to the ones you seek but just think we should be far, far more mindful of what the board has already invested and on gates of 16k the money sure isn't coming from the fans.

Tbf that applies to all clubs bringing in free transfers,every club has to pay wages and signing on fees not just us,but I except we are a small club who are lucky now to have very good owners,BUT at the end of the day Hughes would not have taken the job here if he wasn't promised transfer money,the fact he tried to sign the guy who went to Arsenal for €12 million proves that,He will have money to spend and think he will buy 3 players now and get another in on loan,I expect he wants a quality midfielder and defender first and will then try for a striker and a winger,I'm very optimistic he will get some of his targets anyway.

Fair enough, although I think it applies especially to QPR because both under the previous and current owners they seem to have specialised in targeting some fairly big name players but often ones who are for various reasons available on a Bosman or a low transfer fee. Therefore our wage bill and agent bill relative to headline transfer payments is probably a lot, lot higher than most other clubs. This means the board are spending big time, just not in the way immature fans (not you) like to wave their d*cks around and say "weve spent x million on y player", as if the headline figure somehow makes that a better player.

Certainly think you are right we are targeting more players and prob at least one who will be more of a "crowd" signing than some of the more "bread and butter" players we have bought so far. But as Fernandez hinted yesterday, the challenge is persuading this better class of player to join. We may have spoken to a French international striker but he actually signed for Arsenal. Its only worth spending £12m on a player if we can persuade a top player to join us. If our "wish list" of star targets simply use us to get offers from bigger clubs we will be left with signing slightly lesser players and the danger is that this is on inflated fees. Even Man City had to do it in stages. De Jong is unlikely to come to QPR when AC and Inter Milan are after him, etc...

We may need a RM to replace Jamie if reports are true that wet spam want him, hope they ain't.

they can want him all they want but laughable if they think they can get him for a million i wd have thought.

Not that I'm not excited about the Park addition, but I really hope they're looking to bring a starter for the back 4.

I hope we are after Chris Samba, and if that´s the case I think a Defoe signing will be difficult to defend financially...but oh well, I surely see our defence as our weak link(If we sign Park that is)

Mackie won't leave, he's just signed a new deal because Hughes rates him
