Ferdinand released today

[Tarbie]

didnt we pay 4.5 mil for him? big sum to write off...what can ya do...glad I dont own a football club

Don't think we paid anything like that for him!

[dogsrrs]

Some very angry fans we have don't we The bloke doesn't deserve any abuse. Yes he was $hit at times (although will say not as bad as some like to make out) and I am glad he is off the wage bill now, but not sure the need for some of the reactions to his release. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

Right then Matty you've cut short what I going to say 100% agree ,the only thing I want to add is he would be more than capable of doing a descent job at the level we find ourselves in

Good riddance to bad rubbish, one of the poorest players I've ever seen at Loftus Rd, how this guys made a livig from football i'll never know? probably on his brothers reputation but i don't think he's brothers that good either!

I agree with ya there mate. But as Northolt says above, we could get an adequant replacement at this level for a much lower weekly wage, spose that's the club's view.

Rio one of the best defenders in recent times. You don't last as long as he did under fergie if you are not very good

This. Rio's so good Anton's made a living having the same name.

Oh yeah cutting the wages got to be right but that doesn't warrant the exaggerated dogs he gets short memories of some right old shlt we've had at centre half down the years

He would have, but I think his wages were probably the main reason for getting rid. If he was costing QPR £150k per month to keep as back up, I can see why he was released.

He will however, need to be replaced at some point, but that's the beauty of the Football League's loan system. If either Dunne, Onuoha or Hill get injured Redknapp will look to bring a CB on loan.

Again agree. He might be bad in terms of the past 2 or 3 years, but just look back to the likes of Cullip, Rehman, Santos etc. Jesus - Ferdinand is 50 times the player them clowns were. I could actually understand them being referred to as "pub players" as some like to call some of our current crop

No can't disagree I see a name we were earlier linked to cropped up again recently young fella at Shef Utd Harry something ,HR has done good business with Sheffield Utd in the past so maybe making space

Glad he has gone but certainly doesn't deserve abuse. The way he dealt with the whole Terry fiasco was admiral and he went up in my respect, he did nothing wrong but seemed to be getting castigated for it, must have been extremely difficult for him, however much money he was earning. Good luck to him for sure.

Anton's problem was that he couldn't concentrate and remain focussed for 90 mins. When he did occasionally, he played ok. His inconsistency and lack of concentration ended with goals in the back of our net. Right move to get rid.
I'm certain Harry has a defender is his sights, as well as a midfielder and another striker.
Anyone know what's happened to the kid Magri we got from Pompey. Now could be the right time to get him a bit of experience.

[PeterG]

makes me laugh, some supporters are very quick to rubbish players, some may deserve it others may not but it seems unless someone has bleed 3 pints of blood whilst scoring a hatrick of overhead kicks against chelsea not only are they complete shite but utter ***** as human beings as well

and yet supporters expect these players who have been rubbished by their own fans all season to buy them a drink and let them shag their wag mrs at a player of the year do and take massive umbrage when they choose not to and bugger of with their own mates instead

Anton was a desperate signing at the end of a transfer window when the new owners felt they needed to strengthen the team, he did ok at first and then things went seriously downhill but he never hid just got on with it despite the circumstances, No he isnt Darren Peacock but i dont think he shirked or ever held back, for that reason I will say thanks and good luck for the future. Remember he didnt choose how much QPR bought him for, our board did that.

[vblockranger]

Not a good defender but did put effort in compared to that lot from last season. Glad he is gone as he made too many mistakes but fair play he wasnt one of the useless ****s from last year.
