Yoann Barbet

Sounds positive. No idea how good he is but Warburton knows him, he’s free, he’s a good age and he’s in a position we need. And surely he must be an upgrade on Lynch!

32 appearances last year in a decent Brentford side bodes well. He is left footed so that is ideal.

Another free transfer so we are doing some good business.

It looks like Warburton is having a lot of influence though and I thought we were moving away from that (letting each new manager bring in their own preferences) with Les and the scouting setup selecting players along with the manager. At the moment is seems like Warburton has come in with a list of targets and we are going after them all.

If it doesn't work out for Warburton, in 12 months time we'll be left with a batch of players he likes but the next manager probably wants rid of.

Good solid player
Knows our division

I think we are doing well - solid signings, piece by steady piece, fulfilling real needs and getting our business done nice and early rather than grabbing what we can at the last minute like some mad dash around the supermarket at 5 minutes to midnight as its shutting.
Prudent financial business too, on a free, with some wiggle room having let go of players on no doubt higher salaries.

Plenty of pre-season time too to allow the new defenders to establish an understanding with each other, and with perhaps a new goalkeeper.

Wallace Barbet Leistner Furlong looks a decent back-line - though I still worry about Leistner's lack of pace.

Now we just need a defensive midfielder and a striker and we can breathe a little (just a little, it's QPR after all) easier.

He did well at Brentford and looks to be a good replacement for Lynch. Not sure I remember him playing for Brentford at Loftus Road but hopefully he will provide some stability in the centre of defence.

Has anyone seen him play and do we know if he has any pace?

Looked at a few clips of him from last season
Very good on the ball and as you say and a good left foot
But like most players that sign for us,they play nothing like they should when they come to Loftus Road
Bloody cursed

I appreciate some are already thinking ahead to when Warburton is sacked (in terms of his signings); but let's worry about this season first! 😤
