I thought they got more money? Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyways I don't think they'd have attracted the players that would have cost big money in the last 2 years anyways being a championship/promoted club.

M'Vila isn't leaving Rennes to sign for Everton or QPR.

He goes to one of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal or Manchester United imo.

I didn't say he was. Wouldn't get anywhere near Barca or Real.

Their owners are loaded. Main guy is worth a good few hundred million, and the second owners are the Mittal family. Lakshmi Mittal is richer than Abramovich so they have the money to spend if they want too

QPR are loaded but they have serious problems attracting top quality players, they have a couple though.

They are competing with Arsenal Chelsea and Spurs in London alone, never mind the likes of United and City, they have a long way to go before they will be challenging for top 4 so it is tough to attract the best players.

I'd like him at United but his discilpinary record makes me think Fergie won't go all out for him leaving Arsenal to take him. Madrid don't need him, neither do Barca.

Mr Alan · 21-07-2012 05:48PM

Didn't Wenger apparently drop all interest in him because of his attitude?

The Mittal family have had a stake in the club side 2007 and they've never been big spenders .

Regarding this part; it's never stopped them before. Same goes for City and Chelsea.

I'll be surprised if Arsenal sign him and disappointed if we do and its for >£15m. He's not worth breaking the transfer record for.

Never before, but it only takes them one year to decide they want to be. QPR still have to establish themselves as a club players want to go to aswell tbf. It's also a bit different saying they're not loaded, to just not spending money. If their owners wanted, QPR could compete with anyone for transfers and wages and get the mercenaries to come to their club. They don't seem to want to go that route atm though

They have no interest in blowing a fortune on big players . They seem happy to build on what they have at the moment .

These quotes stick out

Fernandes said he won’t follow the approach of some of the league’s richest owners. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan has spent about $1 billion on Manchester City since acquiring it in 2008, while Roman Abramovich’s spending of almost a billion pounds allowed Chelsea to win three league titles during his eight-year reign.

“I philosophically don’t believe that’s the way to build a football club,” Fernandes said. “It’s important to build deep structures and to build from the bottom up.”

I don’t think if you went out and spent 100 million pounds that would guarantee success,” he said. “The squad we have is very good and just needs to be strengthened a little.”

I suppose my point should have been that Qpr are not big spenders .

Usually if it happens they sign players with massive potential to be world class.
Then again, Alonso is pushing on.

I'd say trying to sign a player like that for a reasonable fee wouldn't really put them up there with City and Chelsea.

cson · 21-07-2012 06:00PM

Xabi Alonso is only 30 and gave an absolute masterclass in the European Championships. I don't think he's going to be pushed out anytime soon.

redzerdrog · 21-07-2012 06:03PM

an I the only one that thinks M'vila is a bit over rated?

really cant see him at either barca or real

I heard a while back during the Euros it was that coupled with huge wage demands. Or perhaps the two go hand in hand.

You may be one of the few who's actually seen him play more than twice.

Like I said I'd be surprised if we signed him at this stage. It was supposed to be a done deal around the time we signed Giroud so I'd well believe a fee was agreed but he couldn't agree personal terms.

Then again the situation at Arsenal appears to be that we do want to sign a couple of more players but need to clear out the high earning shades of ****e we have in Squillaci/Bendtner/Park/Arshavin/Chamakh etc.

Dempsey · 21-07-2012 06:15PM

I've seen Yann M'Vila a couple of times, he's not worth the money that is been looked for

I dont think he's overrated, unless people rate him as good enough to start for Barca or Real. He's a good player imo, but if he's demanding high wages and has a bad attitude, he might not be worth it. Definitely good enough to start at Arsenal or United imo

I saw Rennes play a handful of times last season alone through betting.

Overall he had a fairly meh season I know that, but there is no denying he is very talented. He'll prosper away from Rennes for sure. Much like Moussa Sissoko down at Toulouse who I'm a fan of too.

Park is good!

I really do not understand the situation with him and Arsenal. I'd still gladly have him at Liverpool if he were available.

Arsenal fans just don't know what Park is. Far and away the strangest signing AW has ever made. He didn't even get a chance so its hard to know what he is.

Oat23 · 21-07-2012 06:29PM

Gökhan Töre has agreed personal terms with Rubin Kazan and now the clubs have to agree a fee which will most likely be around €4m - Then Chelsea get 50% of that. What a sh*t deal.

He could be a great player if he gets rid of that dickhead agent and focuses on football.

I'm fairly confident if he was given a chance, Podolski wouldn't have been signed. Someone who can offer the versatility Park offers is such a weapon to have. Anywhere in attack he can play and do so effectively, be it either wing, leading the line/false nine or just playing behind the main striker.

I wonder if the stuff back home with the national team and the Korean army might have something on him in the sense, like he cannot play a certain amount of games or something. I remember an Asian football journo commenting on it back when he was signed by you guys.

Was only talking about him in the Liverpool superthread earlier this week/late last week. €4m for a player of his potential is a steal imho.
