[MYU]

Argentina striker could be available for £2m or on season-long loan

Would be one of the biggest signings ever for a newly promoted prem team. Class player and if we sign players of this calibre during the window a lot of people will be very happy.

[hermitage10]

Please please please come true. One of my favourite players since he first played for Barcelona

[taarabt7]

He´d be a great signing for the club!

[stainrodisalegend]

And he would come for £15,000 a week...?

[Rebel R's]

And he would come for £15,000 a week...?

NO of course he won't ,he won't get a quality striker for those wages

[Morris]

Lol.

Exactly, so I'm just politely suggested to fans not to get too excited about daily rumours linking us to world stars who are never going to come to QPR given the budgetary constraints.

So because it's in one paper that we have a wage cap of £15k then it's suddenly fact?


You should of learnt by now not to believe everything you read in tabloids about QPR FC.

Not basing it on that alone. Pete has said there will be £5m available for transfers. Warno has said himself it will be on a shoestring. Maybe the Mail are wrong and its, say, a 17k a week cap but it certainly isn't going to be enough to sign a world star with 40 caps for Argentina.

The story fits in with what everyone else is saying. Plus we have our past experience of the club to go on. And as someone who works in the media I probably have a better idea than a few others on here when a story is bull and when it is more likely to have some basis of truth. A lot of detail is normally a sign that a journalist has actually spoken to a proper sauce - and this story has a lot of detail.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunatly mate, no it doesn't help.

The fact Pete has said something similar doesn't add anything to the rumour (No offence Pete)

Also, the fact it is a well written article with lots of detail doesn't mean he has spoken to anyone, it just means he has a good imagination of how to create a story, cause panic and sell papers.

He has no quotes from anyone who would be privvy to that kind of info, nor does he write for a respectable tabloid when it comes to football rumours/gossip.

It's just another rumour to add to the ever growing list of rumours. As fans, we won't know what our budget is, and nor should we. It will be kept in house. Away from papers, too.

The same paper ran a story a few days ago saying how we would be signing £90k a week Joe Cole from Liverpool.

Bit tricky that when we have a £15k a week shoestring budget.

[waterbuffalo]

Yeah and Frank Rijkaard is coming out of retirement to help marshall our midfield.

Lets wait and see. You seem to be holding out hope we might sign someone on big or biggish money. I dearly hope you are right, not because I'm bothered about "throwing our weight around in the transfer market" but because we would then stand a chance then of getting a fantastic player such as Krancar and a decent striker

However, I have heard enough to make me very doubtful.

[Hoopaman]

Dunno about you lot but I'm enjoying seeing us linked with these sort of players regardless of if they sign or not.

This time last year we brought in Clarke.

Saviola would be a dream signing.

[qprted]

WELL

well probabley is a load of bull,but a good story never the less
