You look at Sheff U... and knowing that Paul Coutts was their key player. We all know about Coutts. Decent enough player at this level. Would he improve us? Or be the right 'quality' for a top 6 team? On paper maybe not. BUT it's not that simple. It's about getting the right blend of players that complement each other. It's the reason Leices could win the Premier League. It's the reason Cardiff could finish above Villa. Going out and buying Hourihan and Lansbury, or loaning a Bryson? Agree in principle - But you can find the right balance with quality players - You don't have to go out and buy someone bang average - That's kind of my point - De Laet especially wasn't a star in the Leicester team - But he was one of the best fullbacks in the league - I'd say of a quality level with Wisdom at worst AND the player we're looking for here is a goalscorer - Our talismanic number 9 - A guy to come in and be better than Martin, Nugent and Jerome - We're not looking for a hard-working full-back or a box-to-box energetic midfielder - We need a genuine talent And I'd argue that comparing Bryson to a signing from League One is a bit harsh - I'd have Bryson over either of those guys and he's most definitely a top 6 player - I personally think he'd improve our team - Would have him over Johnson pretty much any day of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 QPR are set to make an approach for Derby County striker Chris Martin. Martin, 29, previously played for the Rams under Steve McClaren, who is keen to be reunited with him at Loftus Road.https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/qpr-want-derby-county-forward-and-two-defenders#.WzOCA7QTEr4.twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Goes To Derby Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 And so it begins QPR want Derby County forward Martin, 29, previously played for the Rams under Steve McClaren, who is keen to be reunited with him at Loftus Road. The Suffolk-born Scotland international is under contract at Pride Park until 2020 but has been out of the first-team picture there for some time. He spent the 2016-17 season in west London, on loan at Fulham, where he scored 10 goals in 21 Championship appearances. https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/qpr-want-derby-county-forward-and-two-defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd do very well at QPR, so I think for his sake it would be a good move. It all depends on how Lampard wants to play, but he's a good, good player if you look to get the ball into his feet and not over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 400-500k for Pearce? Id want at least 1.5-2m for Martin still but guess would be worth it just to get him off the wages. I'm a fan of Martin but from what i've heard off Lampard, Martin really isnt his sort of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 An unsurprising rumour to say the least. Probably wouldn’t be looking to actively sell him, but if we can get enough money to allow us to freshen up upfront then I’m all for it. Not convinced he can be relied on anymore with any deal of certainty, though there’s a player in there somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you heard off Lampard to say that? Edit: also at the bottom of the piece it says QPR are 'limited by FFP restrictions, and are primarily looking at free transfers and loans...'

jimbobram Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Will be a sad one for me when he goes, but if he's not going to play then it's best to get him off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean every player has to be lightning. The beauty of Martin is that he can hold the ball and bring the pacey players into play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High-intensity and pace on the ball is exactly the sort of system Martin flourishes in. He draws defenders making space for runs, passes very well etc. High-intensity without the ball is where Martin starts to struggle. High presses don't suit him at all, he's never much of a threat when pressing defenders so all that happens is he runs out of position and gets tired.

Bob Gnarly Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Was only a matter of time before this rumour started to circulate. Only sell, no more loans, obviously only if he doesn't suit Lampard's regime and we get a fairly decent offer that suits us and Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, Martin is the type to want it to feet to feed the players around him, like Bryson under McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree, Lampard may well want his striker to press when we havent got the ball which is where Martin will struggle like you say so wouldn't suit Lampard's style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
