    Some on here laughed at me at the time, but only a year or so ago I said he was a poor mans Joe Aribo. 

    I still stand by that.

    A sort of typical modern day footballer for me.  Athletic with an engine.  Will never have the talent to take him past lower echelons of the Champ.  Bad luck with injuries and always gave it his all.  May still be able to do a job in the championship, but night and day when you compare him to someone like Aribo.  Aribo has that touch, that ability to look comfortable on the ball.  Cousins never really struck me as someone who was comfortable with the ball, and his touch always seemed a bit awry

    I would like to see him have a run as a right back, some where, think he could still do a job in the championship there but he isn't a top championship midfielder and never was.

    I'm actually quite surprised the number of posters who mention about Cousins first touch of the ball. Not knocking it or anything, it's just not something I ever look out for while others seem to remember these details about players who were with us from years ago. Quite impressive and informative how others see and retain this kind of info.

    I think some people forget how poor, or perhaps immobile is a better word, the rest of our midfield was when he was here.

    I fear his injuries may have affected him now but if not, with better players around him, he would look a lot better and complement them well with his work rate which is not in dispute.

    I know a QPR fan who goes regularly and he tells me he really liked the look of Cousins initially but made the point that because of injury he never really got a sustained run at it during his time there.

    Cousins reminded me of Wagstaff - loads of energy but not the most gifted technically.

    I was reading this thread and had decided my comments, got to last one and it’s the same. 
    I put Cousins with Wagstaff, great to begin with but never improved. Harriett , Kyle Reid the same.
    Gomez, Shelvey, Elliott, Lookman, Pope and remember that bloke Bowyer left and improved.
    or Francis who I am sure a lot of us thought very limited now a Premiership mainstay.

    He did have a memorably bad first touch though

    Well I liked him.

    Happy to have him back anytime.

    I think he is getting a lot of unfair criticism seeing that he was often played out of position. However I don't want him back if he has any injury concerns.

    1 goal and ZERO assists as a midfielder in 61 total matches in The Championship in 3 years? Easy pass.

    He was quick across the ground, won the ball back and passed it simply. I don’t know why people are remembering him for not being Claus Jensen

    I wonder if all along his best position was/is right back...but with Solly in his pomp we played him in other positions and became a midfielder.   

    He's not on my wish-list for sure.

    QPR are letting him go for a reason....

    I just wonder, with all of our midfield out of contract, and with an owner who wants to put zero money in, who you think we are going to get?  Would JC get in this team?  Arguably not, but I wouldn't mind him as a minder for Lapslie and Morgan, particularly if we are in league 1.

    I'd compare him more to a Bradley Pritchard type of player.

    Would definitely have him back. Was decent for us a league higher. Was disappointed when he left.

    That's often when you get defender converted into a midfielder, though.

    But he has been played for a reason: hard running, energetic, combative ballwinner, to give the midfield drive and physicality. 
    They are there to do a job. Like Darren Pratley.

    Best teamed with a creative midfielder, like Aribo.

    I think that when it comes to new players, Belgian Beggars cant be choosers, and under these circumstances he would fit fine.
