AmberValleyRam1884 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Richard Dunne, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Bobby Zamora and Rio Ferdinand all released by QPR. In my opinion Joey Barton would be an improvement if Jeff was to leave, in terms of leadership as well as general play, wondered what other people thought about how any of these 4 could be an improvement to the squad going in to next season??

Ashz09 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Barton would be a good signing. I think the rest are most likely past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Only Barton i'd take but don't think Clement would want him here anyway. Rest meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion Joey Barton would be an improvement if Jeff was to leave, in terms of leadership as well as general play, wondered what other people thought about how any of these 4 could be an improvement to the squad going in to next season??Personally no to all. I'd have Barton. Dunne two years ago when we were apparently looking him - yes. Now - no. Ferdinand too is past it. Not sure what he'll want to do. He's 36 and obviously the tragic news from a few weeks ago may cause him just to call it a day. Bobby Zamora would contribute, we'd already have a song for him but he wouldn't start and I expect he would still want decent money. 34 years old too, not worth it. Shaun Wright-Phillips - just no. Refused to go on loan to Charlton despite hardly being involved at QPR clearly 'too good' for this league. Also he wouldn't get in our squad let alone first eleven.Barton though - yes. Him/Jedinak/other probably unrealistic names in my opinion is exactly what we need to go after this season. A lack of bite in the midfield cost us a fair few points last season.

Cam the Ram Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Can see them going to the MLS. They were all probably on 50k+ a week and I doubt they'd drop down to between 10 and 20k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlySaul Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I would like Barton, but his wages would be ridiculous so I doubt he would come to us, I think he is on £70,000 a week at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Agreed on that one but Jedinak off to West Brom (Pulis factor ?)Yeah I know we wouldn't get him but it was a suggestion of the type of player we'd need. A player like Jedinak/Barton, can't think of anyone with quality & bite that we'd attract off the top of my head. But anyway, them alongside Thorne in a 4-2-3-1 formation would allow us to attack freely, use George's range of passing as a deep lying playmaker and have the other CDM and a tackler to break down opposition attack's.Similarly, in our current system, Thorne could either move to CM alongside Hughes/Hendrick/Bryson with a tough CDM or keep Thorne at CDM and have the player with 'bite' alongside Hughes/Hendrick/Bryson. A leader in midfield that can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and control it when we're under the cosh or playing poorly was desperately needed last year.

Kernow Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 To much football manager this half term Why's that then? Because suggesting we need a player LIKE Barton or Jedinak, not Barton or Jedinak themselves. Learn to read properly or you may need to go back to school yourself. Oh and I'd also learn to spell properly ('too', not 'to') before you decide to insinuate I'm a schoolkid for merely suggesting a suitable formation/system...

Stripperg-ram Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 For free and at low wages, I'd take a gamble on Dunne.not a bad centre half and the kind of no nonsense player/leader we've been talking about needing for a while. I know he's old, but if we're struggling to find anyone, could be worth a season long gamble.Not sure about Barton. He'd ramp up our red cards total for the season....

Spot on. All MLS salaries are visible (as are NFL, MLB and NBA) via a quick internet search. Interesting, the disparity between the top pros and the rest.

Wolfie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Take Bobby Zamora and force him to absolve Keogh for any responsibility for THAT goal, whilst being forced to watch the first 89 minutes of THAT match on continuous loop whilst reciting "They woz robbed and we were cheating spawny gets". Then sack him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Wouldn't want any. Including Barton. Like Savage his name gets him in the limelight over his football. I used to think he was decent but he isn't that all action central midfielder anymore. Usually if he gets noticed now it's for the wrong reasons. Savage pt 2. Fame game.

Anon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 No, no, no, no, and no to Barton as well.Where do people get the idea that the best way to improve a top championship team is to pick up rejects from a relegated premiership team? That's not to mention the astronomical wages each and every one of those players would demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
