Olallana Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 Al Habsi is worth a shout too. Also their left back looks alright. I think it´s strange that Al Habsi is backup keeper, has always impressed me.... Dont know if he has had injuries this year...? The work rate of Espinoza has been great today, not sure if he´s consistent enough for me......but really good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too found it strange; I looked it up and he's played 28 league games this season. But he's on the bench today, and was against Swansea. Certainly one to look for; last season he was immense, though I admit I've not noticed him this term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 I'm not so sure about McManaman. He's quick and very good at getting into the right areas but his end product is awful. I´ve seen some real blinders of goals from him last few weeks so not sure I agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passes Pass Suc% Crosses LB TB Rating Premier League* 7(12) - 0.3 8.9 86.4 0.1 0.3 0.1 6.49 0.1 accurate crosses per match, he's managed 2 accurate crosses in 22 attempts and 0 assists. That is not very good for a winger. that is what i meant by my youtube comment. Obviously McManaman is way better than Steve De Ridder could ever hope to be, but watching him play full matches I just find that despite the number of times and general ease of which he gets into dangerous areas, it comes to nothing too often. Obviously he's only 22 so he will probably get better, but for me he needs another season of regular football to get that part of his game right. If we did bring him in I wouldn't be upset, but I wouldn't be heralding it as a signing that will propel us up the table either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool wanted Ince back, it can happen. McManaman is one of those players that the opposition hates - and his name has gone down as MOTM in an FA Cup final in history. I'd happily take him if it were possible, but I would be surprised if we brought in ANY English players this summer - I can see us going on a Spanish binge.

itchen_dan Posted 13 May, 2013 Share Posted 13 May, 2013 What did QPR pay for Remy? £8m. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21039302 Loic Remy: QPR sign Marseille striker for a club record fee Queens Park Rangers have signed striker Loic Remy from Marseille for a club record £8m fee. Remy, 26, has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League's bottom club. The former Lyon forward has won 17 caps for France and scored four goals. Rangers manager Harry Redknapp told the club website: "I'm delighted to bring him in - he's a great buy for us. He's got the potential to be a really outstanding striker." He was also a target for Newcastle, who had expected him for talks on Sunday only to discover he had travelled to Loftus Road instead. Redknapp added: "I didn't think we'd get him to be honest but [chairman] Tony Fernandes worked ever so hard on this. "He wouldn't give up on it and it's great that we now have him here with us. "He's always been a player I've admired. I've watched him on so many occasions throughout the last few years. "I actually spent three or four hours with him last year so he knew what I thought of him, and I think that was important. "He's quick, can score goals and makes great runs. His movement is excellent. He's got the potential to be a really outstanding striker." Remy, who has scored three goals in 19 appearances for Marseille this season, said: "Harry played a big part in me coming here. "I spoke to him and Tony Fernandes at length and they made it clear they wanted me here. They gave me the right motivation to join QPR. "I want to develop my game here. This season the objective is to stay up but beyond that we have greater objectives. "After seven years in France, this is the right time for me to pursue a new challenge in the Premier League - the best league in the world. "I am confident I can adapt to the Premier League. My main characteristics have taken me to the level I am at today but I am keen to keep improving in the Premier League." Rangers' previous transfer record was Djibril Cisse, bought for £4m in January 2012. Junior Hoilett was signed for £3m rising to £4m with add-ons in July 2012.

Turkish Posted 15 May, 2013 Share Posted 15 May, 2013 Why are people so obsessed with what footed our centre backs are. I believe Adkins started this craze that we had to have a left footed centre back playing on the left side of the centre. It's an utter myth that it really makes any difference. Ferdinand and Vidic are both right footed and it doesn't seem to have caused man United too many issues having despite having this massive handicap.

I wouldn't put myself in the obsessed category Turks, however the two we have do generally play on the left side of CB and in the videos this guy is also on the left side. If you think the side doesn't matter take a look at the old videos of Fonte moving to the left side to accommodate Martin and see how he performed. Not true for all but it is true for some.

Pilchards Posted 15 May, 2013 Share Posted 15 May, 2013 A cheap sensible option as you don't want to bring in a 7m rated left back as Shaw can clearly stake his claim for that position next season. Same goes for the defensive midfielder (Verdu pn a freebie) this leaves you with some great players in Lens, Lopez and Astori that will take most of our budget.
