QPR eye Zapata

[Shepherds Mush]

Whatsa matter you hey,
why you look so sad,
itsa not so bad,
itsa nicea place
oh zapata ya face

[rangersbest]

I be honest, I'm worried about this and the 3.3m.

Harry and his team have not watched this lad in real life, other than some video clips and a match on TV a few weeks ago.

We should put this kind of money in Rhoades or someone else that we've seen, this is a gamble from harry.

you got proof they haven't watched him in real life? How much will Rhodes cost? Put money in for someone lese we've seen well they did with Hooper who didn't come and Austin

If the permit is granted, then West Ham might go back in for him?

Also, if West Ham weren't convinced they'd get a permit, why would we get one for him to play in the Championship?

[Yousef]

On Youtube, he looks like a good target man and works his socks off (sort of Mackie player), but in reality we don't know how he will do in the Championship.

Just reading this article posted the other day on SKY Sports website.

"Yeah I've seen him only on clips and everything. We've watched bits and pieces of him. We watched him play last week on TV against Atletico Madrid. Big lad, goalscorer, powerful," he said.

All I'm saying is that 4 million is a risk, that's so much money to gamble with.

Ok, judging him from these clips I would say go and get him.

He is big, strong fast and brave enough to challenge keepers and go in for diving headers.

He is also young and will have a good sell-on value if successful. £3.3M in this era is not a lot at all, especially when you consider the fees for forwards like Rhodes and Hooper or how much QPR paid for Cisse and Zamora or is wanted for Bent & Crouch (all 4 have or will have little or no sell on value).

For me it isn't a question of should they go for him, but will the offer be accepted, will QPR be gazumped or will the Home Office grant a work permit?

If Zapata joins and is as good as these clips suggest, he and Austin should be one hell of a formidable strike force this season and could make us all forget that Remy & Taarabt are on loan with Fulham and Newcastle.

farking hell, have we not extensively scouted anyone? considering our other strikers are all injury prone this seems a bit of a risk

however it's better than no one

Reminds me a bit of Benteke.

[Shepherds Mush]

Looks decent to me but won't he be trying to get into the Columbia squad for the World Cup? Do they even know about the Championship in Columbia !!?

[dogsrrs]

Isn't he coming over so Harry and his staff can have look at him probably arrange a game or 2 ,
I couldn't see H signing him on the strength of utube

[Shepherds Mush]

Merely a distraction for the press while Jermaine Defoe sneaks into HQ to sign a contract.....

[Shania]

Agreed, smells like a smokescreen to me. Personally, I guess we will end up with Peter Crouch.

[Jeems]

Smokescreen sounds good. Most of these rumours come to nothing anyway. We were linked to Saviola earlier in the summer!
