Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.

If you are looking for big names on big contracts it really don't look to me like Harry has the budget Hughes had for that.
So I think most likely the remainder of the window will look a lot like the window so far - lots of newspaper headlines and gossip - not much movement in - signing bargains and freebies.
For "mind blowing" probably have to wait for the loans. A manager with good connections can get good players cheap via loans but even then I wouldn't expect Defoe and Crouch types.
Building a title winning team on a shoestring budget with 20 players leaving and all of last seasons baggage is a mountain to climb. Might take a could years but at least the club is moving in a better direction.

Can anybody put up the exact quote from HR? IIRC he said something like he hopes to get some signings that would blow our minds, not give a cast iron guarantee that he would. For what it's worth I'm delighted with the window so far and the team, plenty of time yet for signings and loans.

Again, for what it's worth, I agree with the sentiments in your post#standuptocancer

Originally posted by Bluehoop View PostNot worth trawling around for the quote mate.You are right that he did say he hoped to get some that would. They are the critical words that so very many people have overlooked, just so they have something to whinge about. But putting the quote back up will not change anything

Far better to have a settled unit in place for game one, leave the closing window to people like Kia and naive owners.

Originally posted by stanistheman View PostLeaving it until the window almost closes gets you signings like Ferdinand, SWP, Cisse, Zamora, Mbia, Granero i.e. players you wouldn't normally chase or pay prices you would not want to pay if only yopu had more time to shop around.

By the way, I wsnt expecting big name Premiership or La Liga stars to join QPR, but unerathing some talented players from lower leagues or abroad would have been 'mind blowing'. Swansea managed to bring in players like Jordi Gomes and that dutch midfielder who later suffered two serious knee injuries from Spanish and Dutch clubs.
I would have though that McLaren would have recommended some decent but little known players from his spell in Holland and Germany.
