Howay

Has he missed any substantial time with the knee issue? I remember it being talked about when QPR bought him as some other team pulled out because of it and since then he has scored 35 league goals for QPR in 66 games. Or is it more of a Ba 'it could possibly screw up and if it does he'll never play again' type of thing?

:lol:

Krul's hair looking top notch as usual.

"Delph you snake" even in their anger they are completely bland boring throbbers. I'm sure he will be devastated by that while he's warming the bench for Man City.

Get in, now this is what I was talking about when I was saying I missed the radge transfer sagas that end well the other week. Talented kid by all accounts and I fully agree with AH that our radge packet quota has been shockingly low, so this helps. We might not be completely fucking dull to watch this season.

Aye I'm hoping it's out of them and the mackems for the third spot, right pair of winnets clinging to the hairs that are 17th and 16th place.

I fucking hope so the pack of bastards. But aye I do, they were poor enough with them two and I think they'll be hard to replace.

I especially enjoy that they'll hate him even more now because they thought he was being really loyal but instead was using them to leverage a bigger contract. Benteke and Delph leaving that team of fucking knackers, even if he got the full amount to reinvest I wouldn't have much faith in old cocknose Sherwood to get it right.

Aye right roller coaster of emotions for the Brummy's, might have even made them mumble something the horrific boring wanks.

I fear we'll see a triumphant Ryder article along the lines of "Iron Mike punches down fears of summer departure by signing mega 5 year deal with toon", Lee again completely failing to judge the mood of the room.

Aye they are taking their sweet fucking time, we still need 2 CB's and a striker at the very least.

It was a bit worrying that he seemed to have no sense of balance or strength, I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt mind as he was regularly drawing 2 or 3 defenders as no one else was making any sort of moves to pull defenders away from him under Carver's brilliant tactics. I think it's a bit harsh to say nothing can be put down to first season syndrome as well, he had a bit of a rough start with Pardew hooking him off 60 mins in anytime he started and regularly just benching him so that lack of consistency would have made the adaptation to the pace of the league harder. He does need to knock the step overs on the head a bit mind.

Aye that in all, the defence were under pressure consistently basically every game since Cabaye left and Pardew chucked the calmer possession game out the window. Williamson humping the ball to the opposition defensive midfielder or centre back and then completely losing his man being the main culprit for that.

I love his twitter profile picture mind.

Agreed, the lad has been a regular scorer every season he has played. I know only one in the PL but I'd be fairly confident if he can find the net 18 times in a season with the shower of shit that was QPR last season he can do it in a better side. 15m for a 25 year old British player coming off the back of an 18 goal season seems pretty fair in this market, in any case it's not my money and I'd like to see the bloke playing for us so I'd be happy with it. On Haidara I think it's hard to judge our defenders tbh, Williamson is so fucking tragic he makes it difficult for all of them as players have to try and cover players he loses as well as their own man which can often make it seem like it's down to them when really Iron Mike is to blame. I think he's strong, pacy and despite some pretty rough injuries doesn't seem to be scared of putting his foot in, hopefully he can stay injury clear and I think he'll become a decent left back. If we were to go out and buy a good left back I'd be happy but I think we've got far more pressing concerns.

Aye that's fair really. We don't really have a centre back we can rely on atm, unless Colo's performances under McClaren are more like his form of 3/4 seasons ago but even then that's still only 1 cb. Taylor is constantly injured, Williamson is crap and I'd rather ease Lascalles in a bit rather than chucking him in alongside Colo, it could work of course but if he had a few poor performances it could wreck him at the club.

Aye he was a big enough wanker on the radio imagine him at a presser with Ryder.

He seriously needs to give up on his hair now man, just shave it off Steve! It's like the letter C on the top of his nappa the way it curls round.

I'd hope so. I still don't think he'll be coming here anyway, I'm hoping to see more links to defenders tbh. It all seems to have gone quiet over Mitrovic as well.

I'd hope after last nights shambles it is anyway. Must say I can't remember much of Banega other than he sat slightly deep, has a slight similarity to a certain Hugo Viana (with the hair and that anyway) so if he does come I hope it turns out nowt like he did!
