Hmm a 0-4 away win at Dirty Leeds somewhat undermines your post. Also Arteta has realised to win the league you have to master the defence and stop the other team from scoring: he’s doing a decent job as they try to avoid finishing second yet again. I hope they succeed.
A really enjoyable game at LR: our home form has been streets ahead of the last few seasons with plenty of goals to enjoy. Can’t fault any of the players today: didn’t look like Bennie for Dembele was going to be the right early sub but he really grew into the game with plenty of effort and energy. Really pleased for him. Kone’s best game for us IMO: led the line really well, put himself about, won headers and held it up for the whole game and a lovely goal. Madsen was superb as he usually is at home: need him to replicate that on the road more often. The four defenders were solid throughout: if we can get RND back on a free then sign him up as he is consistently decent. And great to see Stéphan keeping three up for their corners.
If he wanted to be playing football then he would have had numerous opportunities to do so over the last few years by going out on loan or agreeing a termination deal with Chelsea. Money is clearly more important to him which is understandable given the eye watering sum Chelsea are wasting on him every day: fair play to him but he certainly doesn’t deserve any sympathy.
And to add to it: we recently extended Frey’s contract so if Grashopper wanted him they would have to pay us a transfer fee. Why would QPR have to pay up his contract if another team were signing him and paying him a wage?
It’s proper spin to try to suggest that the £500k transfer fee reported by a reliable source is actually just Frey’s QPR wages he’ll no longer be getting.
What exactly are you expecting him to actually achieve? Promotion? New ground? £20 million player sale? 10 youth team players starting for the first team?
I think that the OP’s post was very fair and gave a good balanced view of where we are at. Injury situation is very bad but if we didn’t have the squad depth we currently enjoy we’d be in a far worse position.
Really sad news: an absolute colossus in the history of reggae but he was involved in so many other different music genres as well and worked with a really eclectic mix of artists. RIP.
Was talking to my brother about this in Saturday: I think going to QPR now is excellent value compared to cinema, gigs, eating out or a decent pub crawl. And this season our home games have generally been entertaining with plenty of wins: even last Saturday was exciting albeit for mainly the wrong reasons.
