JF 694 Posted January 6, 2012 Seems they are wasting their transfer window time on putting pathetic bids in for unrealistic targets. Have had a £5 million bid for samba turned down when clearly he would command a much higher price, And attract much higher interest. Offer for Andy Johnson rejected and after Junior Hoilett who again would have no interest in joining them. Keep up the good work Colin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Also, the Mail is suggesting that Fernandes is getting cold feet about spending too much in case they go down and get saddled with a huge wage bill in the Championship. It just gets better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 6, 2012 The transfer bid was QPR''s way of proving that Fernandes hasn''t frozen transfer funds (as the Mail suggested) - also Warnock isn''t in charge of player purchasing so it is Big Tony with the ''delusions''.

JF 694 Posted January 6, 2012 Clearly the £5 million bid had no intention of getting the player as Blackburn would never sell to a relegation rival let alone for that price. If they were serious they should have gone in with £12 million. Can see another Portsmouth scenario coming here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted January 6, 2012 He would be a good signing for any of the top 6. I dont know if he''s got some sort of injury history that puts off sides like Arsenal or Man U but he was by far the best player on the pitch when we played Blackburn earlier in the season. 5m would be a joke, QPR maybe taking the chance to publicly unsettle a rival or make one of the bigger clubs jump and sign a competitors star player.

It just gets better![/quote] I hope this is the case. Apparently QPR have been linked with Samba, Alex, Andy Johnson, Alan Smith (from Leeds) Nedun Onouha and Jelavic. Well they wont get Samba, Alex spends half the season injured, Smith is nowhere near what he was after that injury, Johnson could perhaps do a job for us at a reasonable price, but hes had his fair share of injuries and knocking on a little, Onouha would be a decent signing and Jelavic seems very overated in my opinion, for 6 mil or so, a big gamble. QPR''s only saving grace this season, is that Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan and Wolves are all equally as dire... Fulham, Sunderland, Swansea, Everton, WBA should all have enough to stay up and I think we should be safe, so i''d expect it to be out of the first 5 mentioned, all who I think would be mid table champ sides...

Horse Manure 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Just another example of QPR trying to convince everyone they are a ''big'' team. They seem to think that winning the Championship (by default) and having a few quid automatically makes them superior to the likes of us and Swansea. Making derisory bids just shows that they lack any class and their pathetic excuse for a home crowd won''t sustain their team. Their owner is a pauper compared to the big boys of the division. All they will buy is washed up players or bad apples so i wouldn''t worry about them. Warnock will be managing in the lower leagues come September (if not before) So nice to take 6 points off them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Don''t forget they have two owners, the quieter of which is wealthier than Abramovich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One can only get a sense of these things, but my suspicion is that the Fernandes/Mittal ownership will work out well for QPR in the long run. Providing the Mittals are happy to be the junior partner while providing most of the money. With Ecclestone and Briatore there they weren''t. But (based on an interview in the FT in September) they seem content enough with Fernandes for now. The other doubt is whether Fernandes, with his expanding non-football businesses, is spreading himself a bit too thin. But if the partnership holds, and they move to a bigger stadium (probably at White City) I would be reasonably optimistic (if I were a QPR fan) over the club''s future, even if they go down this season.

Mister Chops 7 Posted January 7, 2012 MK Dons are 8/5 to beat QPR today, pretty poor odds but may be worth a fiver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
