This is a translation.
Nancy revelation of the season 2010/2011, Samba Diakité probably was disturbed by the rumours of transfer and somewhat missed the first part of the season. Include all the same his extraordinary purpose registered with the AJA in League Cup. Loaned to Queens Park Rangers in the mercato of winter, he played nine games of Premier League and contributed to the maintenance of his club with such a decisive goal against Arsenal. He was finally transferred to the English club for four million euros.

For someone who is supposed to be our PR man Ian Taylor is really irritating some QPR fans including me with his crass comments and responses. Seems to me he needs to up his game a bit if his job is to keep fans on-side. |  |

I agreee. What's wrong with releasing a short statement saying we've agreed terms with the club and are waiting for a contract agreement or clearance. The club we're buying him off have announced it so it's hardly a secret and if it falls through at least we'll know they tried. It's not going to be a massive surprise when they announce it either because like with every other signing the rumors will come first, I don't see what they get out of it. |  | | |

Hear it first and fastest....from a little known journo who is a Saints fan and pally with our media man.
Not great, but at least its not Free Seat Pete and his "hearing we're in for a player, 3rd letter of middle name is C and he plays on the left. And the right. Possibly!"

To be fair its happened in the past that we've announced something before it has been completed and then its fallen through so he's a bit damned if you do and damned if you don't. |  | | |

My view on the whole QPR-don't-announce-it-till-the-ink-is-dry is that I think the club are spot on!
Think, for a second, what would happen if they announce a signing and then for any reason it collapses?
I mean...I remember the Ramón Diaz saga our first season back in the Championship. It was all over the papers in Argentina (Diaz is a very popular character here) and Diaz was supposed to be watching QPR vs. Plymouth (my round-the-pole penalty golazo included!) but because people close to him leaked it to the media, we were all very upset at the club for looking for a replacement for Olly.
Another example was when I even went to the airport in Buenos Aires to wish Sebastián Rusculleda good luck as he was certain to join QPR.
He failed a medical (or there were differences in numbers -depending on who you listen to-) and that was that.
It's not the club's job to confirm or deny rumours. QPR should let the rumours be. And even if another club, like Nancy in this case, wish to announce it, QPR are 100% entitled to wait for the player to come back from vacations. Sign the papers. Pose for the photographers, give his first interview as a QPR player on a permanent basis and the whole lot.
Instead of criticism, the club should receive praise for the business they have been doing recently.
My two cents. |  | | |

+1... prefer the club to be business like as opposed to all the wheeling and dealing of the last mob. Saying all of that, Sky were announcing a press statement from the French club this afternoon, that Samba had signed for 4 mill euros.... keeping fingers crossed that this is true. Cant wait for him and Ali to link up (was even looking forward to those two with Joey... but time will tell on that)
