Anyone noticed...

[Shania]

maybe 1's been done but not announced yet?

This!! Hehe,:pleasantsuprise:

[paulmason]

The club were saying it's 2 or 3 more players.

...now they're saying 1 or 2 more players.

My money's on Hoilett being the one crossed off the list.

Good, MH and TF are doing the right thing.

[80sCasual]

Maybe looking too much into it.
Another reason could be that some of the youngsters showing so much progress that we are thinking we don't need to spend lots of money if we have already a cheaper and younger version at our hands.

Would love to see Hoillet and Ki added to our squad, we will see what happens.

We are in a far more better state in comparison to last years start, bet Warnock envies the current situation.

Yeah, like he would have attracted the same players of course. I don't think so somehow, do you?

He wouldn´t!! That was the poster´s point, I think. The current situation is quite unbelievably satiesfying. The signings of Green, Park, Johnson, Fabio, Diakite and Nelson proves that. Yet he have only July..
Just my take at it, though.:=):

[Norths]

Demba Ba's £5M release clause doesn't kick in for another 3 weeks.

Behave

You might want to consider that we've got just three CMs available, Derry, Diakite, and Park if Hughes wants to play him there. Barton is suspended and Ale is not quite fit enough yet. Also, we've got just three FBs if Young goes, Fabio, Onouha and Traore.

True, and from what a Man U supporting colleague of mine says. Park is best as a right sided midfielder. So let's hope that if no more CMs are signed, that Faurlin is fully fit and back ti his best asap.

I am alos not convinced that QPR's FBs are good enough. Traore is better going forward than defending and Fabio is almost an unknown quantity.

I think QPR still need a better CB (Samba) than Ferdinand, Hill and Nelsen.

[Wozza]

We have players that can play in varying positions up front, midfield and full back, I still think we need another central defender to make sure we don't get exposed Through the middle of the back four, and especially from set pieces. Any other players would be increasing our attacking options, and that is always welcome..!!

Who do you suggest covers at FB? As I said, we've got three if Young goes, and one of those is a converted CB.

RB = Onouha & Young.
LB = Fabio & Traore.

2 per position is sufficient IMO. That young lad Harriman is an LB too, and Fabio can play RB. CB is the priority for me, fullbacks are fine.

I'm saying if Young goes, we're one FB short. Harriman might be a bit of a risk to begin with, and will need bringing on gradually.

Fair point, agreed if Young is off we need some kind of replacement or, knowing our luck, Nedum will pick up an injury 2 games in and we're left short

Yep, and that's why I'd like to see 9x defenders in the squad.

[hal9thou]

None of the full backs fill me with confidence as specialist position defenders, wing backs tend to be more of a liability than an asset imo - even Spain were using out and out wingers to go wide and not WBs (until Italy were in tatters and everyone was popping up). And then of course there's the hole in the middle, priority no 1.

Doesn't matter who is in front of the back four (or three, depending on set up) its the quality of the GK and defenders that keep the wolf from the door. To me the current back four looks very vulnerable and in some ways Fabio contributes to that, since picking him raises as many questions as it answers. It all makes the CB thing even more important.

[Stanley]

Yes a CB has to be a priority.

Personally I would have done more to keep Taiwo at the club as IMO he improved a lot as LB during last season's run-in.

As for Young as RB cover, well he's not even on the Asian tour so I'd say that's not looking too promising. Dyer, however, IS on the tour and appears to be over his last injury, so maybe he has been earmarked for RB cover (as he was for the opening 2 minutes of last season).

[QPR71]

TF said 3 more?????

therefore IF qpr sign ki, luc and JH....what about CB?
