Professor Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 ........................... Gorkss......................It will be interesting to see if he plays tomorrow night. Very true. Unused sub on Saturday so the Carling Cup game against Rochdale is just the fixture you'd expect to see him get a run out. The QPR teamsheet should get the speculation going, either way.
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Would be great if it comes off. Fingers crossed!
Dalek2003 Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Unless Cortese has a European signing up his sleeve that we know nothing about, lets hope this deal goes through, with Puncheon or without him. I've been impressed by Dan Seaborne in the last few games but he is just too prone to make slips to be a first choice at CB and since the idea is to have a team promoted , whether this year or next, with a lot of players that could cut it in the Prem, I'm not sure about Seaborne long term. Against Millwall I thought Seaborne looked OK but when you see his slip on the highlights, he effectively gave a goal away, only the Millwall player failed to take it. Gorkss has the ambition to do well so our current league position might be just the push he needs to agree to come. Gorks and a CF could be the difference between a play off place and lower-mid table position. The team is very good at the moment, but unless we are very lucky with injuries and suspensions we will need that extra depth. This should have been sorted unless the plan was always to get the players in late, for a good reason. Lets wait and see this week !

Or it could be the difference between automatic and play offs,depending how the season pans out. As for the strength in depth issue - often mentioned on here- yes, I follow the argument, but do you think other clubs have greater playing resources available to them in this division ? West Ham aside, I doubt many clubs in the promotion mix will.

Ken Tone Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Is he right or left-footed, or at least is he comfrotable on the left side? Fonte seems to need a partner who will play on his left. And does he have pace? If yes to both of those, sounds like a great signing.
Saint Garrett Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Don't think he's quick. I get the impression he's pretty much Jaidi but a bit more mobile.
REALIST Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Not much pace could keep up with a bus but not a coach :-)
Colinjb Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Don't think he's quick. I get the impression he's pretty much Jaidi but a bit more mobile. In other words, eaxactly what we needed Danny Seaborne to be on Saturday.

benjii Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 In other words, eaxactly what we needed Danny Seaborne to be on Saturday. Strange comment given that he played very well.
Colinjb Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Strange comment given that he played very well. He just about held on for me. I wouldn't want him to undergo that kind of 'attention' on a regular basis.

Avenue Saint Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Would be content with Gorkss but do need another pacy striker. Maynard would be ideal
SuperSAINT Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Would be content with Gorkss but do need another pacy striker. Maynard would be ideal I'd be over the moon with Gorkss. Top signing at this level. QPR mate says we are due to speak to him/agent imminently.
david in sweden Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Maybe Puncheon doesn't want to go to QPR as part of a swap deal so we've had to buy Gorkss for a fee? I'm pretty sure he'll be happy to go anywhere other than SMS and having to train with the U16s.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Would be an excellent signing by all accounts.
Flyer Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Is he right or left-footed, or at least is he comfrotable on the left side? Fonte seems to need a partner who will play on his left. And does he have pace? If yes to both of those, sounds like a great signing. Hes good with the ball, great in the air, very professional but one thing he doesnt have is pace. Thats why hes suited to the NPC sides that usually play a big lump up front but would get destroyed by pace.

Kingsland Red Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Well I swear the Kingsland stand physically shakes when Jaidi gets up to top speed, like the scene with the T. Rex in Jurassic Park! And I thought it was svelte MLT waving from the gantry !!!
Badger Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Any idea about the left side - right side question? Which side does he dress? I think we should be told, it could affect morale in the dressing room.

James Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Not convinced Gorkss is the answer to be honest, would have preferred to see someone younger with a bit more pace who could have made the step up to the Premiership. Nothing against Gorkss and he sounds like he'll be good this season, but a bit ominous that QPR don't see him as cutting it in the big league which may mean he needs replacing should we get there. Would have preferred Killgallon if I'm honest.
waggy Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/deal-close-for-qpr-defender/ qpr fans rate him and seem loathed to lose him
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Think he plays on the left side. Would be an excellent addition, looking at old QPR threads from last year, they call him an unsung hero and brilliant.

Colinjb Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? #Awaits Dalek's pesimistic viewpoint#
James Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Have to say, I'm astounded that you would say that. Why? Killgallon is younger, and has played a number of games in the Premier League. He was at one time attracting the attention of some bigger clubs than Sunderland. You don't lose that kind of quality and he seems to have been unlucky to have fallen out of favour with Bruce. Gorkss is now way down the pecking order at a side which is going to struggle next season and seems to me to be a bit of a stop gap who won't make the step up next season if the past is anything to go by.

Nothing against Gorkss and he sounds like he'll be good this season, but a bit ominous that QPR don't see him as cutting it in the big league which may mean he needs replacing should we get there. Would have preferred Killgallon if I'm honest. To be honest when we/if we get to the PL most of the squad will have to change if we are to stay there. I think we should be more concerned with getting there first. Then once we are there then we can think about how to stay there. Gorkss would be a player who would make our team better and thus making our promotion chances a bit better.

Wasn't getting ahead of myself just saying that I reckon Kilgallon might be a better investment long term as he has proved himself to a certain extent in the Prem.
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 why? he is entitled to his opinion Did I suggest otherwise? It's just that Kilgallon has had an underwhelming last year. Was hardly played at Boro, hardly played at Doncaster too. Gorkss played a huge number of games last year for a team that were easily promoted as champions with a great defence and the majority of QPR fans don't want to lose him. I don't see Kilgallon being first choice in the prem but really Gorkss sounds like a cracking signing and would be exactly what we need considering we already have the potential option with Martin.

It seems he was farmed out by Sunderland as he couldn't hack it in the prem.

By saying that you were astounded!
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 yes, you did. By saying that you were astounded! I was astounded that he would think that because I totally disagree. At no point did I say he wasn't entitled to that opinion, unless you misunderstand the definition of astounded?
JustMike Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Has he though? It seems he was farmed out by Sunderland as he couldn't hack it in the prem. and QPR are selling KG becaue they feel he cant hack it in the prem? I know little about either player but trust NA to do right
JustMike Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 I was astounded that he would think that because I totally disagree. At no point did I say he wasn't entitled to that opinion, unless you misunderstand the definition of astounded? again, his opinion. To say you were "astounded" because he thought Killagon was a better player was a slightly strong use of the word that I know full well the definition of.
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Why? Killgallon is younger, and has played a number of games in the Premier League. He was at one time attracting the attention of some bigger clubs than Sunderland. You don't lose that kind of quality and he seems to have been unlucky to have fallen out of favour with Bruce. Gorkss is now way down the pecking order at a side which is going to struggle next season and seems to me to be a bit of a stop gap who won't make the step up next season if the past is anything to go by. Look at it another way. Last two seasons we have bought players who could do a job in the prem but also ones who can provide quality in league one but not necessarily the league above (Jaidi). For me, Gorkss would be our Jaidi type signing, proven quality in this league and exactly what we need right now with a question mark should we get promoted.
James Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Has he though? It seems he was farmed out by Sunderland as he couldn't hack it in the prem. Well he has more Premiership appearances under his belt than Gorkss who is being sold as not deemed good enough. I agree with you that he seems to have gone off the boil recently but as we all know form is temporary, class is permanent. If we could get Killgallon performing to the level he is capable (when Newcastle etc were interested) then we have a bargain on our hands who is young, and could potentially develop a partnership with Fonte which could last into the Premiership. Admittedly its a gamble but as I said I think he is a more long term option than Gorkss who may need replacing should we make the step up.
hypochondriac Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 again, his opinion. To say you were "astounded" because he thought Killagon was a better player was a slightly strong use of the word that I know full well the definition of. In your opinion. Unless you are saying that I am not allowed to be astounded. This is getting silly now. I was astounded that he felt Kilgallon would be the better option for us but have at no point have I said that he is not allowed that opinion. You are seeing things that are not there and taking this thread off topic.

That's a fair comment but I would prefer to go for the recent proven success this year. If the Kilgallon gamble didn't pay off then we could be left to really regret it.
James Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Lads, lets get this back on topic now. It doesn't really matter that I would prefer Kilgallon and hypo would prefer Gorkss its all a matter of opinion.

The original poster has tried to explain his view to be and doesn't seem remotely 'offended' by it.
