Agree with all of that....

ps Got a feeling we will end up with a buy 1 get 1 free with QPR.....Think we will get Mackie IF we take Barton ! No twitters no ITK no inside info just a hunch..... :lol:[/quote]

QPR are stuck with Barton. 12 game ban means no one in there right mind would take him.

Plus he's clearly bad news on any number of levels.

Since he took the KUMB forum name of "Unhappy Hammer" (or some spelling of that), this should be no surprise.
Gator Hammer - can you explain what I have done please???

That's the one. :oops:

Not a bad signing for Southampton, reckon he could be quite a handy player.

Whittaker was the one Rangers player i'd have liked to sign - good solid right back. Think he went Norwich. Hopefully we have another lined up (Right back)

never gonna happen, that kid has been linked to man united, spurs, chelsea and ac milan for some time. he'll end up at a top 4 club in a major competition, but not at west ham I'm afraid..besides sporting would want silly money anyway (money we can't afford)

There are relationship issues involved other than pecking orders and club attractiveness. Hughes is an ex player of fergies and as such has access to Park. In this case I don't think the pros or cons of any other club would have come into it.

Key word- Seems

Can QPR's income potentially support their ambition? Not in a million years. After all, they are West London's 3rd club and I can smell a storm on the horizon as soon as this honeymoon period is over

Given the choice between Fernandes and G&S I'd stick with what we've got every day of the week

Obafemi Martins, 27. :lol:

Look at his face. No way is he 27. He's also not very good and cannot play as a target man in Sam's system imo.
