So of out oldish trialists, Crofts has played 80 ganes in two seasons, Foley two dozen in two seasons and Buxton 20 games last season and we are connected with Paul Taylor who barely kicked a ball for a year. Nice to know previous mistakes have been recognised and acted on. Meanwhile we have two fit CHs one of them being RoJo.
This cannot be true, KM said we would not sign anyone who has not played at least 30 games the previous season, and I am sure she would not lie

Bit harsh on Crofts. 80 games in two seasons is pretty decent. Even Buxtons 20 isn't completely dreadful.
If the fee for Jordan Cousins reported by West London Sport is correct - £1.25 million, potentially rising to £1.4 million - it's as welcome as cold sick. Granted we are in a vulnerable position following relegation, with the consequential need to downsize and the regime's desperation to get him off the wage bill, but this level of fee really is a piss take. What message does it send to other clubs ?
Whilst there are areas of his game that need to improve, Jordan has a magnificent engine and has been an excellent young professional, as evidenced by his two Player of the Year Awards (something that no amount of reconstruction by one or two posters on here can derogate from). Good luck to him - he's been the heartbeat of the team for the last couple of years and QPR are getting themselves an absolute bargain (no doubt they were resistant to the inclusion of any sell-on fee).
Another consequence of the regime's inability to negotiate its way out of a paper bag is the knock-on effect on the overall budget, including (1) the calibre of player we can bring in, (2) the number of departures and (3) the prices realised for those players. Next out the door, no doubt, will be Ademola Lookman - probably on a cut-price, undisclosed deal. This lad could have the same impact next season that Jermaine Defoe had at Bournemouth fifteen years ago, thereby advancing both CAFC and increasing his ultimate transfer value. Unfortunately, KM will be anxious to meet her Key Performance Indicator and RD will continue to pursue a short-sighted, short-term approach, in which football ambition has little or no place.
So we've lost Jordan Cousins (1.5m), Jonjo Shelvey (2.5m), Joe Gomez (3.5m), Carl Jenkinson (1m), Diego Poyet (free) and Darren Randolph (free) and Harry Arter (free) for about the price of Tyrone Mings (8m).

I though Shelvey was less than that or is that including add ons

Colin, unless you are RD or KM how do you know the QPR figure is incorrect? You normally post after the SLP has revealed something so you are not in the know so how do you know this figure is wrong?
Don't really rate cousins but I think we should of tried to milk a bit more out of them.
If you don't rate cousins, I dread to think how you rate the rest of the squad. We are an embarrassment, but the plus side is... Every fuck up this club makes I'm less likely to ever bother going back, Saving me £100 every other week of the season

Why don't you ask Henry, he insinuated it originally, no point in asking the 35th hand source of Colin
The figure seems to be going down according to West London Times (I think that was the paper) it is 1.2 million rising to 1.4 with add ons. Their supporters on Twitter are really pleased calling it a steal and he will be worth 10 million in a few years. I think they have got the best end of the deal!

Keep up the Valley Gold clearly a great return.
I had planned to renew mine at the end of the month, but think I'll pass now.

El Hadji Ba will do a job in League1.. with jackson and crofts providing passing ability i wouldn't be too upset.
However, the fee for Cousins is a shambles, he is an engine, not great technically but a brilliant championship player! I would want closer to £3m when you consider Lewis Cook from Leeds has gone for 6m + add-ons after 1 season in the championship! Well done Katrien you cucking funt
Did cook ask to leave ? Is Cook a div one player .... Look at it another way we signed the div one leading goal scorer for below 1 mill pounds if Ajose was in the championship and scored over 20 goals how much would he gone for then Get some perspective ....

already been said on the forum that the figure QPR released is not correct
You can go back in time and list players that have been released , look at Man U and Progba even they do it
The question should be why didnt we realise their potential?

It appears to come from the QPR end. A lower figure in the public domain would suit them as it looks to their fans as if they have a bargain and are shrewd negotiators. Having been a basket case for years in the way they recruited players they need that.
But even if it isn't true it has been repeated so often now it will be accepted as fact.
Why didn't Charlton get a figure out there in advance? They will no doubt try and get a different (and possibly true) figure out there but it will be too little and too late.

So now @colin1961 is quoting me as his source. This is like reading Alice in Wonderland on acid.
But since I'm Colin's sources I can catorgrically say he's talking a load of fecking bollocks as per usual.
What I said is "I'm not sure I believe the £1.5m figure.
In typical Colin way he mangles that into "Already been said on the forum that the figure QPR released is not correct"
Just so so far from what I said but in Colin's mind it makes sense.

This is what he always does @Todds_right_hook @DamoNorthStand et al.
Not only is he a WUM he is just unable to process information in his tiny mind. Opinion becomes fact, a possibility a sure thing.
Weird meaning weird.
