Any of these we would ike? NORWICH: Matthieu Louis-Jean, Paul McVeigh, Peter Thorne, Ian Henderson, Andrew Fisk. QPR: Marc Bircham, Kevin Gallen, Steve Lomas, Paul Furlong, Simon Royce, Paul Jones, Mauro Milanese, Armel Tchakounte
On the basis that none of them were capable of playing for mediocre Championship teams I would have to say no!
I'd have taken Bircham about 3/4 years ago, but i don't think any of them are worth it now (especially if we do want to push for promotion) because they'd only be squad players and little better than what we have
Steve Lomas has been a super player in the past - and hey who knows if his form was any good we could do worse than him for six months whilst Williams and Francis recover. thats not to say you'd choose him over a player on theup if the right one is available, but that's the question...
Bumped into Kevin Gallen in a pub in St Albans before he went on loan to Plymouth and his on about going to Watord. Dont think we need him, havent we got enough average midfield hoofers?
Perhaps we have got enough average midfield hoofers but seeing as Kevin Gallen is a striker i don't think he'll be adding to that list of average midfield hoofers
That would be the same Bircham who gave a middle finger to Watford fans at loftshyte road a few seasons ago. No thanks.
Different players for different jobs - You got to ask who looked the best player in the game against Plymouth, one of ours [Bouzzy's rocket apart] or Kevin Gallen? He could be a useful striker to turn a game - we don't want to resort to getting in the strikers we did in a rush last championship season. Kind of like Sheringham's role a few seasons back. If we got better options hopefully we wouldn't need him, but you can't say he's a poor player - he's not.
Or not, he didn't actually score did he and as we have proved this season we have more than enough strikers that can't score, what we reall need is one that can! So that would be a No from me then
I think luck and fozzie take the credit that they didn't score. But anyway I don't care if he comes or not - I'd rather have someone for the future, but he doesn't need rubbishing that's my point.
And Shittu. Also, practically every single one of their shots was either straight at Foster or over the bar.
Gallen has been a good striker over the years, whether he still is or not is debatable, but he could be worth a short term contract. If nothing else, some of the younger lads could learn from him.
OK , spoke with his brother today, he is not signing a new contract, his wages are a grand a week which is pish poor, he is in talks with Watford and would like the move as he lives in Kings Langley, the other team after him is Bristol City but does not want up heave his family.
That's fair mate, I wasn't shooting the messenger! I just can't see what he'll really add to our play. I guess I'm just sick to death of us signing squad players or players for the future and would like to see us chasing established names. That said Aidy is known to be thorough and have target first and second XI's, so maybe Bircham is part of his secondary target list.
This is what he said on his Official Site http://www.icons.com/bircham/home.html Goodbye to Loftus Road I had a meeting with John Gregory today and we decided by mutual consent that I would be leaving QPR in the summer when my contract is up. They didn't want to renew my contract and I didn't really want to sign. We both knew what the other was going to say so it was a bit of a formality. Luckily I've got a few options on where I will be playing next season so it's just a question of sitting down with the family and picking the right one. I've got options to go and play in America but I don't think I'm going to pursue them. I'm more likely to stay in England. I've been talking with the family since Christmas about moving on at the end of the season. Unless QPR pulled a four-year deal out, which they were never going to do because they haven't for anyone, I knew it would happen. So now it's a question of deciding which move is best for me and the family. I felt I was treated badly at the end of last season and that left a bitter taste in my mouth. I decided to stay and play, got back in the team, because I wanted to prove people wrong, but unfortunately I got injured and had to have the operation on my back. I knew I was going to have to have the operation done at some stage – in fact, we talked about me having it done at the end of last season, but I couldn't, because I didn't know whether I was staying or going. When, in January, it became clear that I was going I had to get it done. Now, I'm just looking forward to playing some part in Sunday's game against Stoke, because it will mean I've finally come back from injury. It will also be a chance to say goodbye to the fans. I've fulfilled my dream of playing for Rangers and I've enjoyed every minute of it. But it's time to move on.
