End of transfer window.

It's been some chaotic last hours of the transfer deadline day. Around 10:30 PM our beloved vice-chairman Amit Bhatia tweeted:
Amit_Bhatia99 Amit Bhatia
WELCOME @swp29 !!!!
It was a huge relief and I think I speak for most of the Rs fans. I have been following Sky Sports News since I got back home about 2 PM earlier today. According to them, the SWP deal have been on and off like a bl*ody lightswitch, and it seemed like we were going to end this day with nothing.
Jason Puncheon was seen running into Loftus Road about an hour before the window shut - no one knows it that one fell through though.
The most worrying fact is that according to Amit Bathia himself, the Anton Ferdinand papers were sent in exactly 22:59 PM - We're waiting for confirmation on that one. He would play a vital part in our defense this season.

Although we are still waiting on a few confirmations, Im off to bed now- A more detailed sum up of the transfer window will be published in the comming days.
COYR!

With roughly 5 hours left.

With roughly five hours left of the transfer window, we haven't signed a single player on the deadline day. It is believed that Anton Ferdinand is- while I am writing doing his medical test at Loftus Road, we are expecting an announcment soon. As I am following ScottJonesy on Twitter I have to mention his latest Tweet on here:

''Truth also be told re SWP. Man City's cleaner picks up our messages. SWPs compo isnt really top of their priorities.BUT will be done in a mo''
I assume the last word is supposed to be ''moment''.
I will not get my hopes up yet, but I hope it is about to be announced. I just had reports regarding the transfer through SSN, they are understanding that the personal terms between Shaun Wright-Phillips and QPR have been accepted, and SWP are at the moment poised to join us but both him and QPR are waiting for Manchester City to confirm and accept the deal. So thats positive, just what we need, a pacy winger with vision for the game, what a signing it would be Neil.

Thats all I have at the moment, I am believing that we, after completing the SWP and Ferdinand deal-will make progress on signing our other targets: Bassong, Ridgewell and maybe Crouch(unlikely though).

Transfer Predictions

Our hypothetical transfer sum-up.

IN:
DJ Campbell, Blackpool (£1.25m).
Jay Bothroyd, (Free agent).
Daniel Gabbidon, (Free agent).
Bruno Perone, (Free agent).
Kieron Dyer, (Free agent).
Luke Young, Aston Villa (anyone have a clue?)
Joey Barton, (Free agent).
Brian Murphy, (Free agent).

Possible INs:
Shaun Wright-Phillips + Nedum Onouha, Manchester City (£5m).
Scott Dann, Birmingham (£5m?)
LB, (around £3m).
Crouch, Spurs (loan).

Outs:
Kaspars Gorkss, Reading (£900k).
Mikele Leigertwood, Reading (£500k?)

Possible outs:
Rob Hulse, Celtic (£1m) haha!

Transfer fees spent:£2.25m=£1.25m+£1m(?Luke Young?).

Possible transfer fees:£13m.

If my predictions are correct NW has been given a £15m to spend, and so far we've sold players for £1.4m(?). I believe NW's having more cash to spend on defenders since we got Barton on a Free instead of Parker for £6m. I think maybe why we can sign Scott Dann for £5m(or another defender ofc).

This predictions leaves us with a pretty decent team IMO.

Young-Onouha-Dann-LEFT BACK?

Fingers Crossed

The madness of todays football.

I managed to find some inside information about Arsenals strange financial situation. They've cashed-in almost £90m and signed TWO players, Gervinho from Lille(£10m) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain(£10-15m). They've played three games so far and have managed to collect one single point. The Arsenal supporters have urged their manager Arsene Wenger to spend their supposed overfilled bank vault - with no response or action. Sit back Arsenal fans, here it comes.

Arsenal, (through their investment department) have lost about £80m in the last few weeks, due to all the instability in the investment markets (stocks, shares, bonds etc).

I kid you not. I can't tell you how I know this as I would be breaching a few rules, but basically, all the money they have recieved from transfers has been wiped out by the losses they have taken (mainly government bonds in Europe).

As I see it, Wenger has not been given a transfer budget at all so far*, their debts and losses is as reported around £80m  the recent weeks, I do not know if they've lost even more earlier this year. They have recieved money from transfers of a total amount on £90-100m(as some deals were undisclosed, I can't surely say the exact amount payed.) and they have payed back the £80m that they have lossed to he parts involved. Thats 80 percent of their supposed fortune, they have bought two players, Gervinho(£10m) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain(£10-15m) thats the final 20 percent of their incomes. 

Their owners haven't invested any money in this transfer window yet, which must be horrorfying for all Arsenal fans, but as said this is just a theory. 

The possible end-up for this season could be 5-10th IMO, as they have lost their key players who have assisted their last star Robin Van Persie the recent years. People say the best way to defend is by attacking and Arsenal have lost some of their most vital attacking force. They have also lost their best defender Gael Clichy to Manchester City, which makes Arsenal even more vulnerable than they already are. Arsenal clearly need investment, but Wengers hands seemed to be tied. When he was asked - Will you be bringing in new players? he replied with ''in England people think that the answer is to spend, but reality is, we are having 8 first team players out''. 

The pressure from media and fans is immense, Arsenal clearly need to spend to make the top four, and I find his answer very, very strange.

*It's still a couple of days left of the transfer window.

I believe that in the remaining 3 days of the transfer window, Arsenals owner will make further investment in the club, since they will become desperate over the recent results and their current position. Please note that theese words(except the facts & information) is my personal thoughts and opinions.

QPR-Loyalty through and through

I've done some calculations regarding our attendances through our 15 year absence from the top flight.

Season 2003/2004, our average home attendance in percent was 88%.

Top away attendance(R's fans only) 7300, Sheffield Wednesday.

Season 2004/2005, our average home attendance in percent was 89%.

I couldn't calculate the seasons between 2004/2005 and 2010/2011 because of system errors on QPR.co.uk.

Season 2010/2011, our average home attendance in percent was 87%.

Our avarage attendance was actually higher in league 1(2003/2004) than it is now, that proves that we've kept our fans through thick and thin. Full credit to the Qpr employees who have done an excellent job keeping Loftus Road away from hooliganism, vandalism etc in the lower divisions. Of course full credit to all the R's who have sticked with the club in financial crisis, and when we've played against sides like Vauxhall Motors and lost.

I couldn't write this article the way I wanted to because of the system errors. But I hope it was an interesting read anyway.

When you look through theese numbers and statistics you realise that even if we might get relegated this season we'll still love our QPR. 

Now, Then, Forever QPR.

more and more rumors

Dimitar Berbatov has recently been paired with Paris Saint Germain. The club from the french capital said to be ready to put €20 million on the bulgarian within a short time. PSG has been pumping money from its new Qatar-owners and has also been linked with the argentine striker Javier Pastore. €20 million for Dimitar is is something Sir Alex must think very carefully about whether such a bid had been put on his striker.

The sneijder saga continues and in the moment it does not seem at all like that one bid has been accepted or that an offer has even been put on Dutchman. We'll see how this incredible story will come to an end.

Dj just passed medical

DJ Campbell just passed medical at Harlington. Should be announced shortly I hear.

More To follow.

Sneijder bid accepted

According to several sources have an offer for the Dutchman Sneijder accepted today, only pay-deal left if this sources is true!

more about this later!

//Fergiesboys

Cleverley or Sneijder?

The speculations around a new central-midfielder has been a messy story. The Wesley Sneijder romour has end up in one big circus there one day inter have accepted an offer and one day Sir Alex says Sneijder is not on their mind. I think the ''£35million'' star would fit in perfectley in Sir Alex squad but should we really spend probably all the money we have left on  the dutch star or should we go for perhaps the next big star cleverley?

My opinoin is that we shall go for cleverley and give him some games this autumn, hi should not play in the line-up yet but im sure he will grow into the role as the ''new'' Paul Scholes. If you look at both Sneijder and Cleverley play you can defenetly see a certain similarity betweem them. Both have this great eyes for the game and an enormous desire. The strenght is not their strongest characteristic but the different between them is clearly. Everything Sneijder does is with a lot more class and he has been through a lot more in his career. Sneijder is obviously a world-class player that everyone want in their team but i think cleverley can be that to, with that potential he showed us in the barca game in washington he can go very very far. He is still a young age (21) and have every chance to be something really interesting.

So sir alex, continue to invest in the young players because carrick, giggs and sneijder (in this context) are not getting younger. I do not think people would complain if we have the knew Paul Scholes in our squad.

Joey Barton Released.

Officials from Newcastle United announces that Joey Barton is free to leave the club.
No idea where he's heading but if Fernandes wants to make an early impact he should pick up the phone right now..

More on this later.

Valencia signs new deal

The ecuadorian winger signed a new four year contract that Will keep him in Manchester untill the 2014/2015 season. A great deal for both valencia and United, the winger have made success in red devils and have scored 10 Times on his 69 appearances since he came from wigan in 2009.

Qpr - Squad for PL?

In every QPR transfer discussion I've had with any R since Bothroyd signed, our major dissapointment is our back four. In my opinion we still need a couple of defenders but to be fair we only conceded 1 goal against the europa league runner-up and a decent Serie A side. If that doesn't show quality what does? 

As I see it, we need to sign 2 defenders, a Premiership experienced CB and a pacy qualified LB. 

Possible targets? 

According to many reliable sources the Kyle Naughton deal was done and dusted three weeks ago, but since he has signed for Norwich he's off the table.

Kyle Walker is still a possibility but since our wage roof isn't quite in Spurs leauge and he's chased by many clubs - it's a long shot, but he knows Warnock well it's understood and he knows the lads well, so at the end of the day it's his choice. If he's prepared to take a wage cut, he's ours.

Really hard to name out the possible targets, if the takeover is in place we probably are BUYING quality players, but if Bernie's still the majority shareholder we're probably after freebies and loans..

About Taarabt.

I'm still over the moon with the news of Taarabt staying. It feels like a signing actually, I know since last season that he can win games with one pass. Delighted with him, after what I saw in Italy, he seems happy to be back with the squad and I really think he can create magic next season.

Bothroyd's first goal.

 

I think it was really good for Jay that he found the net against Braga. I think it's important that he fits in the system and gets one or two goals the first five matches next year. Imagine Bothroyd, DJ and Adel up front, top 10 striking force IMO.

Really looking forward to next season. U R'SSS
