Thats 3 league 1 players they have signed, preparing for life in league one maybe ? fp.gif
League 1 players do not necessarily equal terrible.
Besides, at least they're doing business early unlike us..
I wouldn't say they are preparing for life in League 1, they are just acclimatising to the reality of the Championship (something we didn't do when relegated). They are all 3 youngish players that could well step-up into the Championship and become better players. They are now building a foundation, which has in past years, just been made up of overpaid mercenaries. Jay Emanuelle Thomas will be a handful, that you can bet life on.
god damn it i wanted him

Bad business is worse than no business. Not that this necessarily is, but I'd much rather the club didn't spend than do so poorly just to get faces in.
Why are we starting threads about their signings?

It's June, not a lot to talk about!
Looks like they are buying earfly before they get hit with a ban on transfers!

Seems to me they are following the standard QPR transfer policy bring in lots and lots of bodies and hope for the best. I expect he's on atleast 20k
2/3 players they have signed have been very good. Luongo and JET both great signings

We've all wanted someone we can't have, it's unfortunately part of life.
Move on and you will, I'm sure, find someone that reciprocates you feelings!

Annoyingly, I agree
Does it really matter? I am only interested in who we have signed

It wasn't a question of is it relevant or is it on the right forum, more a case of why are we so bothered and making threads about it?!

I fear the reason is because we haven't made any to talk about, there manager has during his short tender seen where he needs players knowing who he was getting rid of while ours has had a season and a transfer window already and not got anything prepared.
It's the fulham way though, how have you not learn that yet? We don't sign anyone till the last few days, and then blitz and buy s hit.
I'm ok with threads like this, it is a football forum after all and if there is no interest it will drop off the board.

After watching the Three Amigos video and reading through the finance reports MJG posts. I've come to the conclusion that. We have a limit budget for key positions only. Keeping Kit was more to do with not having money to spend, so not being able to attract a new manager. They knew ST sales would be poor so they are getting their house in order now. Kit, like most will have till Christmas to show what he can do.

that or they dont really trust kit and dont want to blow the budget and holding some back when they need to get a new man in
Why are there still qpr posts on this forum? Who cares about them? Stop it! fp.gif
Add Jamie Mackie to that list as well. Nothing special, but a hard working Championship player who always gives 110%. Obviously went back to QPR because of old ties, but Kit was banging on about making big changes this season, and at the moment, we've done sweet FA. That's 4 half decent signings by a Club that's supposed to have broken every Financial Fair Play rule, and suppose to be operating under a transfer embargo.

They've signed Luongo, Gladwin, JET & Mackie.
All of which would have been beneficial to our side.
Definitely good signings by them.
QPR are not under an embargo (and wont be for a while yet) as they believe the rules are unenforceable, they are taking action against the league so all penalties / punishments cannot be administered as I have understood it. The two parties continue dialogue to try to come to a mutual acceptable settlement.

That's because he hasn't got a clue, imo, Nero.
If he doesn't know what's needed in our team after all this time and all these games, he never will.

Posts like this really annoy me, it's lazy inaccurate, takes no account of the structure of the club and is just another excuse to attack the manager.
Right so he hasn't got a clue, who's he?... Are you referring to Kit or MR, as far as I understand one of them is in charge of making transfers happen, the other identifying targets. As for not knowing what the team need, utter rubbish, the club are being linked with defenders, midfielders and forwards. (i.e. they need players all over the pitch). I think a more telling comment would be that the club haven't signed anyone yet, which for all my patience I would like to see the first signing too.

:plus one: :plus one:
because:
a) we have no signings of our own to discuss;
b) QPR are a local rival;
c) QPR play in the same league as us; and
d) they have signed some players that may/may not have been of interest to us.
