Skeletor Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Not read a lot about the rape allegations but he looked like a really good player for QPR and obviously we've scouted the shit out of him already. Signs for Spurs = Not guilty Signs for us = Guilty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 At the end of the day if he signed for us and played well nobody would care if he went around raping people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 At the end of the day if he signed for us and played well nobody would care if he went around raping people. With us signing Barton after previous convictions, our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chances given to Ranger, and our 'partnership' with Wonga amongst other things I think it's too late for us to play the 'righteous' card as our board have shown that they don't really have much moral. I guess though that we also have to remember that at this point it is only an allegation and he could be innocent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Jokes aside though, we shouldn't do this. It would be so desperate. That guy has bad Karma around him. He's gone down with QPR already, and has this incident hanging over his head. Steer well clear I say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Maybe he could play with a tag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 He hasn't been found guilty of anything yet and likely he won't be. Would love him here. Class player who not so amazingly got his head swivelled when another club offered him more money. Not exactly new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've gone from "we shouldn't sign him, he turned us down for money, his attitude must be bad" to "if he's found not guilty, sign him up". Football fans are so fickle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Spurs have been heavily linked with David Villa, Leandro Damiao and Benteke. I really hope they hurry up and buy one of those. Then, if Liverpool keep buying obscure players, the coast should be clear! Nahhhh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Maybe he could play with a tag Still remember the story about Gary Croft in our local paper doing that for Ipswich Town years ago. Was for slightly less than rape though, iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 When we missed out on him I was bothered about the club threatening to miss out on another target - couldn't really find blame on his part. Shite club QPR but money does talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Get him signed. He's proven that he can score in this league (in a piss poor team at that, much like Ba did) and he's about as good as we're going to be able to get imo, regardless of the money thing in January.

He's proven that he can score in this league (in a p*ss poor team at that, much like Ba did) and he's about as good as we're going to be able to get imo, regardless of the money thing in January. Have to agree with this but if Spurs interest is legitimate then even if the club want him there probably isn't much they can do at this stage.

Have to agree with this but if Spurs interest is legitimate then even if the club want him there probably isn't much they can do at this stage. I think he signed for QPR knowing full well it was win-win: stay up and he gets a nice fat bonus and probably a transfer anyway, be relegated and it's not his fault as they were already fucked and he can get a transfer even easier. Both of these whilst being paid through the nose. I reckon he'll have signed that three-and-a-half (or was it four-and-a-half?) year deal with QPR knowing full well he was most likely gonna be there for 6 months in the shop window. Perhaps now he'd rather have assurances about playing every week? The gulf in wages between us and Spurs won't be anything as mental as QPR deciding to double our offer out of desperation or whatever. Bit soon to label him a mercenary, or a money grabber, or whatever just yet IMO. I bet Ba was thinking the same thing when he moved to West Ham, it was a similar sort of scenario.
