also where are all these big clubs in for M'Vila? We heard for last 2 years all about M'vila, then when he's available, no interest from any of the top teams. If football was based on stats/football manager, qpr would and could be pushing for champions league spot with their team they have.

Bit of a hot head by all accounts and an ego to fill a room. Hes banned from playing for france till 2014 too he went on a piss up before a game or something.

Will QPR end up like Portsmouth I wonder?

The Mittal family are involved in qpr, not just fernandes although how much involvement they have I don't know.
If they are willing to spend their money then there is no chance of financial ruin but if they pull out of the money drain that is football club ownership they'd likely be in big trouble. Fernandes is rich but not mega rich.

Hope they end up in League 2 in the near future myself

Comes with an attitude problem apparently.

I was wondering what his story was,just seen Harry on SSN talking about him,as someone else posted a string of top clubs were linked with him in the past and now it seems he is going to QPR.

Going by this report by the Daily Mail,Harry told him use QPR as a stepping stone to Man Utd,he also suggests off the field problems

Ya gotta laugh. If Harry was not making signings you'd have everyone saying he's doing nothing to sort the problem.

Funny you have posters saying they hope they are relegated, why? Is it they just hate Harry or is it just a dislike for the club?

GavRedKing · 16-01-2013 11:19AM

Dont like 'Arry, dont like QPR.

Of all the teams down and around the relegation zone, I'd rather see them go down then some of the others.

ArielAtom · 16-01-2013 11:36AM

Funny I wouldn't be a fan of Abramovich or Chelsea but still would not wish relegation on them.

Luckycharms_74 · 16-01-2013 03:40PM

I always find his interviews funny. He takes no sh1t from anyone

Peppa Pig · 16-01-2013 03:50PM

I always like Holloway as well, but he comes across in that interview as a bad loser. I presume he's taking about Zaha, but to blame the media for him to get a yellow card is stretching it a bit

Dislike for the fans that celebrated City scoring a winner against them at the end of last season.

Hope they go down for it.

I might be wrong, but I would have surely thought that the fans were celebrating staying in the Premiership after the Bolton result. I don't think they cared what the result of that game was as long as they stayed up.

If you are just isolating QPR fans, why not hate every other non-Utd supporter that celebrated that goal too

I would like to see QPR stay up, and I'm quite excited about Remy and M'Vila coming to the EPL. Have heard alot of hype about M'Vila, but then again, it was from the same sources that raved about Sahin.

Sunderland bid for Danny Graham.

Martin O'Neill doing his usual shtick of signing a big man to play up front so they can just launch balls at his head.

Think he has 7 or 8 goals this season, not bad for a lad whos being playing second fiddle to michu. Id imagine laudrup would want to hold onto him unless the money was of course right

DyldeBrill · 17-01-2013 01:14PM

As a Spurs supporter

I would love to see the signing of a creative midfielder(Willian, Moutihno) and a striker (Negredo). They would be world class signings

It seems Llorente is going to Juve for as little as 4 mil but I would have loved to have had him at spurs.Really think he is a world class player and has great foot work for someone who is so big!

Yeah, measuring up at 5ft 11 I'd say you are bang on the money. Fletcher and Wickham are both taller than him, I'd say they'll be a bit upset if O'Neill is planning on signing Graham to launch balls at his head.

I dont recall saying tall.

He did it with Hartson (6' 1") and Heskey (6'2"). "Big Man" doesnt always equal just height.

Oh I know that, but it is not as if Fletcher and Wickham need bulking up.

I don't think Sunderland need him anyways, O'Neill doesn't seem to want to play two up front and I don't think Graham will give him anything Fletcher and Wickham can't.

Be interested to see where Wesley Snjeider (I know I spelt it wrong) ends up? Be very surprised if it is in Turkey. He could be the last minute Sky Sports News extravaganza story with Jim White!

Spurs, cos they need yet another AM

Danny Graham is actually a very decent footballer.

In that case it'd have to be 'Arry then wouldn't it?

This is what I said at the time:

Graham on the way up to discuss personal terms according to The Times:

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/premierleague/article3650698.ece

Decent player but he doesn't give us anything we don't have and he's a diehard Newcastle fan. Connor Wickham should be used instead.

This won't end well I feel.

However, after the abomination against Bolton we need someone in especially with Saha being released and Campbell on his way out (probably to Cardiff) it looks like Wickham is still not ready to lead the line in a 4-5-1 and if Fletcher gets injured we're in the shit without experienced backup.

Not entirely happy about his Newcastle roots for a couple of reasons - 1) it usually comes back to bite us (one bitten twice shy and all that), 2) as soon as something goes wrong the fans will be on his back because of it, will he be able to handle it?

The above doesn't help his cause at all and he'll have to get off to a very good start because of it.

I'm still going to say it won't work out, but hopefully I'm wrong.

"I would stay as far away from Sunderland as I cou.... [Martin O'Neil whispers in his ear] how much? Ok. As I was saying, I'm a boyhood Sunderland fan, love the club"

Djibril Cisse heading for the Middle East.

Delighted my team was part of something to bring you happiness.

You would wonder why City winning the league would matter to a QPR fan, but then again, everybody has an opinion when it comes to United, it is what comes of being the biggest team in the country, no such things a neutral for the also rans/cannon fodder

Arsene Wenger admits he is interested in signing Napoli's Edinson Cavani. Best of luck with that Arsene. I'm sure the free spending Arsenal board will be more than happy to part company with the £50m required to prize him away from the San Paolo

Looks like Al Gharafa in Qatar. They have the weirdest team, no idea why they'd be moving for another striker. They have a defence and defensive midfield made up entirely up players from Qatar, then an attacking midfield and forward line stocked with recent Brazil internationals, as well as Afonso Alves and Mark Bresciano, not to mention having just bought Nene who will tear that league apart with his eyes closed. Just makes so little sense to be fielding no-hoper players in the defensive half of the field, while having stars on the bench for the front half.
