We appear to have a history of turning good players into average ones. Take a look

[twranger]

Yeah that Bowles was sh ite Oh and Dave Thomas one of the greatest I've seen at LR

To be fair there wasnt a weak link in that team was there....although Mick Leach was always the boo boys favourite wasnt he!!!

[RussRanger]

Matty Rose from Arsenal wasn't the best but still, I think, clocked up over 200 games for us under many different managers and was one of our longest servers at the time? Oh, and then he killed Saskia with an ashtray and that was the end of his career.
My bad, it was the guy from Spandau Ballet who try to frame him for it.

A little bit more support from the supporters would help.
To me it seems that QPR have too many supporters who like to boooo.

Only Park gets booo's when actually coming on as a sub. Only time i have heard it happen

dont bite, he doesnt even go to games.

ben sahar - was one of those players touted as the next big thing, scored 2 in a pre season friendly with fulham and disappeared into the ether

I am just agreeing with one of the posters, what is your problem?

[Timmy the Doc]

Jamie Cureton.

[qprno1fan]

Yes another one who was prolific, but then signed for us via Japan and never hit the heights. Did score two goals including a 90th minute winner in the 2003-04 season that arguably got us promoted, but scored all the rest of his QPR goals vs Coventry, or so it seemed.

[Yousef]

Andy Johmson?

[qprted]

well

well

my list is not quite the same as yours but reads

........rodney marsh..........15 000........200 000 profit 185 000 plus england cap and over 100 goals
........phil parkes..............15 000........565 000 profit 500 000 one england cap and world record for a keeper
........roger morgan............o..............110 000 profit 110 000
.......clive allen.................0...............1,300 000 profit
.......paul goddard.............0..................800 000 profit
.......paul parker.............300 000 .........3 000 000......2 700 000profit
.......andy sinton.............300 000..........2 750 000 .....2 450 000profit
.......les ferdinand............10 000............6 000 000.....5,900 000 profit

these are some of the transfer dealings that we have taken part in and it shows we do often buy good players or more specifically turn players into better players

[SpankwiR]

lets be honest so called established top players generally dont give a sh*t about QPR and to be honest from there non supporting point of view they rightly see us as a mickey mouse outfit apart from the wages.

[qprted]

well

following what spank said the only true way to build a club is to buy from the lowr divisions and develop these players like swansea have done

[NW_Hoopz]

Stan Bowles from Carlisle....he turned
out to be $h1t
as did Don Givens signed from Luton.....and Dave Thomas from Burnley and Don Masson from Notts County.
All these came to QPR and really went downhill from thereon....Only at QPR eh tutututut!!!

A bit like my sex life there TW

Living off far and distant memories Eh ;-(

Agreed. What people forget about QPR is the years of neglect to the infrastructure of the club. QPR, Norwich and Swansea all got promoted to the Premiership that year and everyone predicted QPR would do the best because of the money when the reality is we had and still have the worst training ground & facilities and worst stadium. For a lot of these players its a bit like going from working a Trump Towers to a lockup garage on the Mozart Estate and subsequently I don't think they take us seriously. Instead of investing in ageing has been players we should have invested in training ground, youth system and eventually stadium to build a club with a real sense of community, belonging and direction.

Im afraid this takes time and I can only hope Tony will give us time.

Ask Martin Rowlands.

[qprted]

well

well you could put a negative on us but I would rather look positive we are not relegated yet so lets fight on
