Hi guys,
Been reading these message boards for ages now, and today I finally got round to making an account :)
My names Lewis and I've been a ST holder in the lower loft since I was 12, supported QPR home and away my entire life and hate to sound cliché but I honestly would feel lost without the mighty R's! Not much else to say really :/
Oh, and a nice Brie will do me :D
My question to you lads and lasses is...
If you could sign 7 players right now (that are realistic) Who would they be and who would they replace?

Welcome.
I can't think about players at the mo it's too early since last week, ask me in July when we see who is gone and who's come in (if anyone).
Have you ever tried a Brie and raw onion sandwich? It's...interesting..  |  |

Hello Lewis,
Seven?
I'd say that's too many. I would prefer 3 or 4 genuinely decent players.
A big basturd at the back, an athletic young keeper, a creative midfielder. I honestly think we're close to a good team already.
Ps That's assuming we get Diakite. If not, goes without saying we'd need a CM. Taiwo i'd sign, but i prefer traore. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I'd say sign Taiwo + Diakite, a new CM if Ale isn't the same player (fingers crossed he is), Chris Samba, a hidden gem of a young keeper and a few back ups for injuries/suspensions.. | | | |

Welcome!
For starters, Diakite and Taiwo should be signed.
Then I would maybe go for Wolves' Fletcher (scored plenty of goals for a crap Wolves side), someone like Whittingham from Cardiff who can play across the midfield and this Tomkins fella everybody seems to go on about (if West ham lose today that is).
Chuck in Ben Foster and we're laughing.
We'll probably end up with a bunch of foreigners we've never heard of which, judging by Hughes' record, is fine by me!

Welcome on board.
I am not sure I can come up with 7 realistic new players! In fact I am quite cautious because a lot of the new players we have brought in have let us down. If anything the season has taught us to value the players we already have.
Hughes has brought in Mike Rigg, Manchester City's head scout, so hopefully we will have an improved scouting network and an improved choice of players. In my view we would be better off looking for talented players from the lower leagues and from Europe on the rise than buying experienced Premiership players on the wane, (unless they really offer something special).
Paddy has some sort of injury, so I would like us to look for a standby goalie. Ben Foster looked good against us for WBA (now returned to Birmingham), although I am not sure he would be happy to be a standby.
If Bolton are selling, then Lee Chung-Yong would be a good buy if he's recovered from his broken leg. He has superb skill and vision.
Do you have 7 players you want to buy? |  |

Hello and welcome Lewis. Good to have you along.
On the new players, I think what we should be wary of is giving up on those that have done a job for us so far too quickly. That's the biggest mistake we made last season for me (I was as guilty as anybody) and slowly as the campaign went by we went back to Hill, Helguson, Derry, Mackie etc and there were our better players. This summer I'd like to see Diakite and Taiwo sign, and us use Traore a lot more. On top of that I think we only need a couple more. Maybe three tops.
I'd like to look at Hoilett (probably out of our league) and N'Zonzi at Blackburn. Jarvis at Wolves too and Holden at Bolton if he comes back from his injury ok. Lower down Jordan Rhodes is the obvious one but Jack Hunt the right back at Huddersfield is a terrific player worth watching - Norwich have shown that these bargains do exist down there and I really like the look of that kid. Jamie has mentioned Luke Freeman a couple of times and he looks useful, but carrying puppy fat and currently very selfish on the ball and makes poor choices in the final third, but certainly a talent worth keeping an eye on as is Powell and Leitch Smith at Crewe.
Looking forward to seeing the next Samba, Dembele, Diakite type that Hughes digs up from abroad as well. |  | | |

Haven't thrre out of Hughes' four signings come from abroad? Wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign another one or two that none of us have ever heard of. |  |

Welcome LLL!
I think with Rig and Hughes track record we can expect the unexpected and the unknown, hopefully a few gems, especially if Cisse and Diakite set the standard!

Yes for the second time in two years I don't really know what we should do about our defense. Last year we surely would have been better off keeping our back 4 than playing around with it in the manner we did so for me squad should be:
Kenny
(new signing to try and enhance paddys performance levels now the cough medicine is wearing off)
Another - Murphy or Cerny depending on fitness?
Traore
Taiwo
Hill
Anton Ferdinand
Clint Hill
Onouha
Ramage
New signing
Young
Onouha
New Signing
Derry
Diakite
Faurlin
Hopefully not Barton
Mackie
Tarrabt
Traore
Poss Buzz
Hopefully not SWP
Helguson
Cisse
Zamora
Bothroyd
Campbell/ new signing
That means minimum of 3 signings... and ideally 6 if we can ship SWP and barton as although Barton was beginning to produce some decent displays has burnt his bridges I feel and replace them with better, whilst being able to sell the players they are replacing... eg: campbell/bothroyd/akos if he is offered better terms elsewhere/murphy
Also means for me out (if possible) out would be:
Hall, Gabbidon, Connolly (reluctantly), Big Pat, Hulse, Smith, plus the rest of the vines of this word who do not even have squad numbers.

Welcome to the board. Glad you took the plunge.
I don't want us to sign 7 more players. Honestly, that would be my nightmare. I think we have a good bunch of lads who are just beginning to gel into a formidable force. What we need is some stability. The players are beginning to buy into the Hughes plan and beginning to develop chemistry. That's the way forward. With full summer training/playing together without drama or major changes and we could be a substantial team come next season. Imagine what we would be like if genuine trust and understanding were built between Adel and Cisse, for example, between Faurlin and Traore, and so on.
I would say we need two or three new players tops: a central midfielder and a central defender and maybe a replacement for Cerny. |  |
