Its rediculous that our club can not secure a player deal on deadline day yet again We have no intention of getting anyone in by the look of it and all our linked players are going elsewhere If we go down this will be the reason why and January isn't a get out of jail card this time round either to get players
Surly the links and the players going elsewhere tell you we had an intention of getting someone in? I would of liked a signing but we dont have one, i think we can still get loans? anyway we have what we have lets hope we have enough.
The transfer window is now closed, the heavens have opened and TF must be deliriously happy because that means he can now get through 3 transfer windows without spending a copper coin. Simply no ambition !
At least if worst happens We can look back on this day and say that was partly why We 100% needed a defender and a striker,an attacking midfielder and a more experienced keeper also Looks like we didn't offer the cash or anyone really had a reason to want to come to us We can't do nothing about it now
A number of our players were the targets of bids but we turned them down as they did not meet our valuation. It wasn’t too long ago we had to pay players to leave this club. Now we are turning bids down – bids which are significantly higher than our purchase price for these players. That represents real progress While supporters will be pleased we kept hold of our targeted players, while also tying down Darnell Furlong and Ebere Eze to long-term contracts, I understand their disappointment that we have not added any further players since the arrival of Toni from Union Berlin.
“However, the early closure of the transfer window this summer significantly changes the landscape and this can be used to our benefit. We are looking to bring loan players in. We can do this until the end of August. Clubs who were looking to sell their players on permanent deals will now be looking to loan them out, whereas prior to the window closing this was not an option they were considering. We will be looking to add to the squad. We are aware of the areas that need strengthening and we are looking to do that while in keeping with the club’s financial parameters.

Wrong, we can loan until 31 August.
Today was only the deadline for permanent transfers.
We do need a defender and a striker and we are much more likely to loan one than buy one given our financial constraints.
Just because we haven't signed anybody permanent today I don't see why that is reason to panic. We could loan 5 players next week!
I understand that now the finances at the club are very limited, but surely only being prepared to bring in players on loan can not be a long term policy. if we bring in 3 or 4 players in on loan for the season once the season is closed we will then lose those players and are back to square one.
Surely a better policy would be either the bring in free transfers on a 2/3 year deal or to sign ambitious young players like Eze and Smyth.
If a loan player come in and plays well and make a name for himself he will move on to a better club and we will get nothing
If a free transfer player comes in and plays well we my have him for 1 or 2 more seasons or at least get a small fee for him.
If a young ambitious player come in and plays well we could make a big profit and re-invest the money back into the squad
We have a Les Ferdinand Gary Penrice and a hole host of scouts to make sure we get the right players in, why don't we use them
Let's hope we can get the loan players we want and not miss out to other clubs like we have today I agree northwest but we need fresh blood in certain positions and maybe loaning is best policy if they end up being not quite up to standard we can send them back It's hard to feel optimistic when we don't have anyone to talk about coming in today Let's see in the next couple of weeks what happens
Preferred it when the window shut later in the night like it used to,remember watching the presenters outside grounds and seeing how it unfolded on the telly Bit boring this time round
I'm sure we would have looked at additions to the squad. But if the fee and wages do not agree with our current structure then so be it. Loans could be the answer. But to say the Board have no ambition is ridiculous. We have a new way of doing business at QPR.
Personally I don't like loan players, I agree with you kensalr that if they are great they return to their clubs and you have to replace them again or they turn up and aren't bothered about the cause (Lua-Lua a good example of that).
It is disappointing to see other clubs taking players we really should be able to secure. Hefele joining Forest and Windass joining Wigan is immensely frustrating.
I am just saying that right now we cannot panic that we haven't got a striker or defender or whoever else people think we need as we do at least still have the loan market and the chance to get bodies in the door.
Today specifically I don't think there is reason to panic.
I also sense the mood this week would be very different had we not lost against Preston. It is easy for some fans to say 'we are heading to League 1' on the back of a defeat and no signings.
It's hard to feel optimistic when we don't have anyone to talk about coming in today
QPR making loads of signings hasn't exactly worked out in the past has it? I'd rather us sign nobody than Modibo Maiga and Will Hughes!
Let the new manager settle in, let the season take shape over the next month or so and then we can make sweeping judgements about where the club is heading.
I genuinely still feel there is a lot more to come from the side and certain players.

As a footnote I agree on this but it has been this way for a while since they stopped letting reports be at grounds due to the 'dildo incident' and other chav-like activity outside grounds. Now they are just at training grounds it doesn't feel the same at all whether day or night, there is no atmosphere to it.
For where we are i think loans are fine. We only need 2 or 3 in i think and they will be more experienced so we only want them for a year so the youngsters can come through.
