The QPR Squad 19/20

Cheers stoatey, whether true or not we'll never know. Apparently we had an option on Wszolek too but at the end of the day they were all on too much money for sub standard results. A fresh start seems best for all and let's see where we end up!


Back to the current squad, I agree with most that it is still rather alarming as it stands, but there will be wholesale changes over the next 7 weeks so it is still too early to judge where we are heading.

You are totally correct and as you suggest its a double edged sword. Based on previous managers even if Warburton achieves both objectives our board are likely to give him the sack. 

Holloway not only managed to keep us up and developed some of our EDS players but he also saved millions in trimming the wage bill whilst still getting the likes of Mackie etc.,  to perform

I didn't want McClaren as our manager but I thought he was unfairly sacked when he was on the verge of keeping us in the Championship.

Our board can want the manager to develop the younger players to save on spending but you can't make a silk purse out a sows ear as the saying goes. Kakay is a case in point, he had shown talent in the Development team and because of Furlongs injury he was put into the first team. He just wasn't good enough and both the club and the player suffered.

Even some of our better youngsters have struggled, we probably expected too much too soon from the likes of Eze, BOS and Smyth and whilst they have shown form in patches the consistency is not there as yet to demand a regular first team spot. 

I sincerely hope that Chair can show us the form he displayed at Stevenage last season but I suspect that Warburton will only look to use him sparingly. 

I read that Barbet can play as LB too, so perhaps that is why he was signed, so we have cover. It also seems the club is close to addressing the striker issue too....

Just to muddy the waters further I am sure that I read something recently about Hall also having the same extension clause in his  contract but in his case it was him rather than the club that exercised the option of another 12 months.

Its possible that I dreamt it but somebody else on the site may be able to confirm whether they also saw the report.

Looks like we could be adding somebody today:

I know people don't like the fact that we use the loan market but this guy sounds like a quality player who will add to the team, Just what we need

We are desperately short up front though
