    He's a big strong looking lad isn't he?

    We looking to bully sides with Aneke and Washington?
    With Morgan and Williams in midfield? I doubt it!

    Chris Günter is a free agent after leaving Reading. 31 now, but a very good attacking right back that has played all his career in either the Premiership or the Championship. Vast experience.
    Great shout.
    He and getting Matthews back would be good additions

    Morgan happily sticks a foot on players when needed. He'll thrive in a dirty league like league 1.

    QPR mate just text me...

    "Conor Washington... Oh dear"

    Going to back Gallen and Bowyer on this, reasonable stats in L1 and suspect he will be decent at this level with limited ability to step up if we are promoted.

    Hmm don’t agree at all. Lightweight and don’t think it’s his league. Talented on the ball though and he’ll work on other sides to his game I’m sure.

    He's fine for L1, that's all we can really think about. Only a 2 year contract anyway

    What were his views on hemed? If it was positive, the oh dear comment can be discarded

    Loving the creepy background pose from Bowyer in these signings as well, its like they're both in the pub!!

    Conor: 'Ere Olly, that weird bloke in the blue shirt, is he still watching us? - Jeez whats his problem


    Imagine the look Dave Jones would be giving over his shoulder...actually Washington is too old. 


    Of course as we know the allegations against jones were dismissed (he wasn't found not guilty) but that picture looks very creepy doesn't it ?

    Let's see how he gets on this season.

    He sorted his fitness massively during lockdown and came back tracking better, still prone to losing his man, but he's more a CAM than a CM.

    I believe in him and his ability.

    I obviously hope your right mate. If he plays CAM fair enough but I see him more as a CM and I think he’s better suited to the Champ than League 1. I still think we’ll see him improve and have a decent season.

    Football is so weird, I bought into the hype and excitement of signing Kayal and Hemed.

    Hemed had all the attributes , mean moody look with Chiseled features and bags of experience.

    But with Conor my expectations are extremely low.

    Maybes it’s just the fact i dont know his game, is he a link the play up kind of guy, a provider for others type of guy an out and out goal scorer or potentially another Rob Hulse?

    Judging by his stats, he's definitely not an out and out goalscorer. Sounds like he's quick, hard-working and will stretch defences but might not get that many goals.

    Interesting to see what he says about playing style. He wants to run into the channels and get in behind defences, he said with Hearts being the third biggest Scottish club he didn’t get the space to do that, teams would sit deep against them in numbers.

    A hard working striker with pace is definitely a Bowyer type of striker. Wonder if this means going back to a midfield diamond with two of Washington, Bonne and Aneke able to drift out wide, as Taylor and Grant did so effectively in League 1.

    Hemed he said was an immobile lump past his best.

    Matt Smith he said ran around but totally ineffectual and looked like a kid.

    Hmm, that sums up Hemed and Smith pretty well!

    Nice how he's the type of player who isnt happy just sitting around earning and not playing

    I suppose QPR wanted Washington to be a 20 goal Champ striker, we want him to do that in League 1 with hopefully a strong team behind him.

    I’m not expecting him to be as good as Taylor, but it’s a league he’s scored a decent amount in before.

    Been called up by Northern Ireland for their Nations League fixtures against Romania and Norway

    Means he'll miss the League Cup game against Swindon Town

    Also means he'll likely miss the other games we have on international weekends as dont see us getting two other players called up by Nations to get games called off
