Clearly, Krul's impressive start to the season has got Llambias and Ashley salivating about the cash they'll get for him in the January window, so that'll be why they're scouting for goalies. Imagine they'll be selling Forster to Celtic soon as well.

Course you do, you're a miserable bastard. No need, tbh. His opinion is as valid as anyone elses. FWIW, I agree - Luke Edwards' write-up is pretty damn accurate.

We're not getting a new left back, lads. Deal with it.

Wait and see, mate. Wait and see. Right now, I'm unconvinced. Seriously underwhelmed by a lot of what I saw today. Would you have been happy with Luke Young on a 3 year deal? Congratulations on another irrelevant interjection. How so? You're saying QPR are showing more ambition than ourselves. I'm contesting that. They've signed players who either couldn't get a game elsewhere, or weren't interesting other Premier League clubs. It's all well and good saying you want to bid for Scott Parker but until he's through the door in a QPR shirt they are but words. I'm not saying I'm ecstatic with our business. I'd have liked to see a CB and a top striker come in, but compared to QPR I know which is more likely to stay up. If you believe Danny Gabbidon and Kieron Dyer are ambitious then fine, but I'm just asking you to explain your reasoning. I've said my piece on this one. See my post above. Cheers.

If you say so, Cajun. If you say so. I was actually trying to convey a broader reflection that from what I've seen so far this season we've had three quite decent results, without actually showing much sign of improving the quality of the football we play or the signings that we make. I don't think the squad we have got is anything more than mediocre overall. We're not showing any signs of ambition, unless treading water is "the new ambition" of the day. I'm quite saddened by the fact you and others only see my posts in terms of being a WUM, and consequently dismiss what I'm saying as being solely designed to get bites. Seeing it as such, is rather missing the point.

Isn't "impact player" just a handy euphemism to describe someone who can't cut it for the full 90 minutes?

Difference is, Barton is a good footballer, Ranger is a turboshit footballer. I think we all know what Ron Atkinson would say about Nile Ranger, don't we? That he's a hardworking and delightful chap of Afro-Carribean lineage? Words to that effect, aye. http://insidethesheepskin.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/bigron.jpg

Nailed it. Aye, apart from overlooking the tiny detail about QPR starting to show themselves to be a club with bold ambitions, and the likelihood they will soon overtake us in those stakes the way things are going...

Reminded me of a headless chicken for most of the match, tbh.

We better win.

Aye, that'll be dead easy considering I live in Edinburgh. FFS.

Details?

Moronic comment.

And assuming it's not down to lack of fitness, that leaves us with it being an emotional/psychological/confidence issue. Just find it amazing how someone earning more in a week than most do in a year can have "confidence issues". What about his suspect knee? As I said at the start of my sentence:"assuming it's not down to a fitness issue"...

You've been Daved!

Is he a muslim? Shouldn't have that much to say tbh, but could have something to do with ramadan, I guess. This article says he'd found a way round it when he was playing in Germany... http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/sports/to-fast-or-not-to-fast-big-question-for-footballers_100242224.html
