    Has Dave fallen asleep whilst being asked about the JRS deal?
    No he's depressed remembering when we stole there two best players Holland and Hreidarsson

    You’ve just outed yourself as one of the Grammar Police, only five more to go;)

    I will be pleased and relieved if JRS signs, as I think he will strengthen our first XI, and we are unlikely to sign anyone else as good at this late stage of the window.  However, in an ideal world, I would rather we had signed, for a similar amount of money, Jordan Holsgrove, or someone of that ilk, as we will still be left with a paper-thin midfield that will look vulnerable if Chalobah is injured. And that was obviously NJ's strategy for the window, too.
    I’m really intrigued to see what happens with Jordan Holsgrove now. I fully expected him to have signed for someone by now but it all seems to have gone quiet on that front now, or at least I haven’t seen anything concrete when there appeared to be so much interest before. 
    I can see him being someone we go in again in January or next summer
    I would keep a very close eye on that one........ 

    ahem
    There was me being reasonable and not too greedy thinking Holsgrove would be delayed gratification but no.

    Playing devils advocate a little bit here. We all know we currently have the nubers we need across the pitch (except arguably RW) Is it possible that we have enouhg "powder" for one player of quality who will take us up a level but arent dead set in which area of the pitch it comes. So possibly it could be that if JRS falls through we go back for Holsgrove. The only thing that changes is who we look to ship out. We can say if we dont get JRS then Apter as 4th choice winger is good enough and Holsgrove will take our midfield up another level so lets move on Doc and JRC.

    Just random speculation tbh.
    You don't fly to England because a deal that's clearly going to go through might not go through 

    A player might fail the medical.
    A medical technically isn’t to determine if a player is fit, it’s to determine how much insurance you pay

    Carter said the outlay would be similar to last summer. JRS takes the fees to 7-7.5M this summer + wage increases, and last summer we had an initial outlay of 8.9M no way there’s room in the budget for Holsgrove as well. 

    Wherever he ends up can’t wait for Ouma to absolutely two foot him back to Portugal 
    Carter also explained that isn't how they account the spending, it is based on the year the cash flows to the selling club. He also said the wage budget was separate to the transfer budget. 

    Unless you know the structure of the deals, there is no way to tell how much has been spent one year to the next, until the accounts come out.

    Imagine turning up on a saturday and seeing a front 4 that includes:

    Leaburn
    Campbell - Grant - RakSaknCrack.



    Pretty uncomfortable for any defence. 
    And the three behind leaburn all switching around at will. Could be carnage

    QPR journalist Will Halliday has just asked the QPR fans what their thoughts are on Jordan Holsgrove. Would imagine that matches what @stjohnshill was saying earlier. 
    Couldn’t imagine a bigger anticlimax than Holsgrove signing for QPR of all teams

    Interested to see if we describe it as a club record fee on the announcement.

    When is jones getting sacked for walking out of the meeting at the start of the summer? 
    He has been reprieved so long as we keep winning matches. First defeat and he will be out on his ear. We will promote from within to save money.

    It will be undisclosed. So it could be £5m or £50m. Both will be a club record fee.

    'shit, we got Charlton next week - the huge centre forward bullies you, the 2 wingers either side wrap you in knots and then the gunslinger finish you off'  - oh - don't bother going long -  you have to win headers against Lloyd Jones and his 6'5 sidekick. This season is looking like it could be a lot of fun .   
    Ronnie Schwartz is coming home?

    Would be flabbergasted if Holsgrove was heading here. 

    @DamoNorthStand is raising my hopes though damn him…

    I really think we do not need JRS. His record is not that great/overrated  and we have Godden, Leaburn, Grant, MBick and TC. Better to strengthen elsewhere.

    Charlton - League 1: 15 goals in 43 games 

    Sheff United: 7 goals in 34 games

    Obscure Turkish team: 4 goals in 11 games

    Stoke: 2 goals in 15

    Overhyped IMHO


    I very rarely comment... but what a silly post. 
    I wish some others would as well ;)

    If Holsgrove is off on the motorway to another club, Nathan Jones needs to give Curbs a bell and find out how he intercepted Claus Jensen at the services on the way to Ipswich. Don’t know if many people know that story.
    Would love to hear it please

    Isn’t that journalist basically confirming it’s QPR that Holsgrove is going to?

    Gavin Carter also mentioned fees are typically paid over 3 years, so we’re probably not paying many in full in a single payment.

    I think it’s naive to think budgets, player preference etc are static here. If Holsgrove has made himself available and the club think they can get him for a price that makes sense, budget will appear. Especially when by my calculation we’re not yet at last season’s and there is more outgoings to come.
    All depends on how close we're flying yo the SCR limits. There might not be any wiggle room
    Yeah, but that's why fees are paid in annual instalments, add-on's, loans instead of permanents ....all structured to spread out expenditure, and keep within budget and financial rules

    Would we have got Ouma if Holsgrove was still in the picture?

    Those saying JRS is overhyped are, in my opinion, missing the non-footballing factors that have affected his loans. Being far from home, system, roles he was asked to play, starting vs bench etc. 

    Coming to us just feels like the right move for him. We are playing better football and the perfect system for him. Close to home and with lots of close friends in the squad. Manager who will get the best out of him, club making progress. Timing and everything about it just feels bang on.
    You mean that one troll....
    Just because someone has got a different view doesn’t make them a troll. 

    It’s all about opinions and it’s good that people feel comfortable and confident enough to express that even if it differs from the consensus view. 

    Challenge it, debate it, but we shouldn’t be trying to suppress it.  That’s not how forums work effectively.
    Admins, I think this poster might be a troll

    Go ahead and pick up on that one comment @AFKABartram but it's very clear from Doomers comments over the years that he is here to just say negative things and stir the pot with every comment. 

    There are a plethora of trolls on here and whilst I admire the work you and the mods do, sometimes if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, you gotta point at it and call it a duck

    Made worse by the fact that he made an identical post on 19 August and loads of people pointed out that JWS is a winger and not a striker.
    who is JWS?
    JWS is our plan B if we don’t get JRS. Hopefully an upgrade on JRC. I’m told plays similar to JFC. Just hope he doesn’t see it as one last payday like JFH.

    Would JRS and Holsgrove in addition to all the other signings and contract extensions make it the finest summer transfer window ever?

    Didn’t he also say they were fixing issues in the fans bar and kiosks? 🤔😀
