IlsonDerby Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 9 minutes ago, Eoghan1884 said: A player I’d love us to look at is Chris Willock (26). He’s able play on both wings aswell as the number 10. Didn’t have his best season last year with only 4 goals and 4 assists but QPR were pretty awful as a whole for the majority of the season. He’s coming into his prime years and in the two seasons before last he got 13 goals and 13 assists in 67 league games. Hes a great dribbler and also has good numbers for winning the ball high up the pitch. He’s still in talks with QPR over a new contract but hasn’t even travelled with them to their pre season tour where they’ve brought trailists etc. weren’t QPR actually quite exciting last season once they’d got their new progressive gaffer in?

Not when he first joined but the final third or so of the season yes. I’d imagine they’ll be quite good this season depending on their squad of course.

littleover ram Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 We should look at Louis Sibley at Oxford. Decent young English midfielder, championship experience, can play full back too MackworthRamIsGod, jimtastic56, SKRam and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is their not a conflict of interests when people like Rush , Appleby and Wassell are acting as agents ? (Allegedly) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even spent £1m a couple of times under Clough. Did we? I only remember Barker type fees. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To memory, 950k for Barker which Forest matched, then tried to increase but he wanted to come here. 850 k for Shackell. We sold him, oddly, for 1.2 a year later and spent that on Keogh.

If only we'd walked away from some deals that we couldn't afford under Morris, maybe we'd have not had to go through the last 2 years of pain. We might not like it, but the club are not throwing money at players, they're working to an affordable budget. You make an 'exception' for one player by agreeing to pay him a couple of thousand more per week, then the rest of the squad demand a couple of thousand each and before you know it, your wage bill has jumped by a few million per year.

I imagine it's more to do with playing in his natural position than as utility, than the money offered. The scenario you suggest certainly happened after the play off in 14. We offered Bryson a contract over 20k a week to secure his services. Some others had the match highest earning player in their contracts. I can't imagine that's the case now.

Guest Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I totally support the current seeming position of looking to sign players on the free, or for very limited fees. We paid stupid money in the teens for overrated players based on emotion or getting one up on the Jones's. Crazy when you think that over 25 years ago we were paying roughly £3-4.5m on players. Even Barker-type fees seem out of the question. All in good time. Let's consolidate this season and see where we are this time year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
