Squad of 25 ?

[QPR1976]

Pure speculation & assuming Green, O'Neil & Zamora sign new deals.
New arrivals in Bold. How does this look ?

Green, Cesar, Murphy (3)

Simpson, Onouha, Traore, Suk-Young, FERDINAND, CAULKER, LASCELLAS, Dunne, Hill (9)

Barton, LAMPARD, Henry, Faurlin, O'Neil, Hoilett, Phillips, Wright-Phillips (8)

Austin, HOOPER, SIGTHORSSON, MAY, Zamora (5)


7 in, approx. £31m, Remy, Taarabt & Granero out £16m - Net spend £15m - would seem realistic.
Fatboy Frankie is a long shot 6 month contract as Sidwell & Bryson bids failed.

[Ginger Ninja]

Looks like a squad who could survive to me, as long as we show the same spirit and togetherness as last season.

[blue and white]

Pretty sure frank is off to the states. No point having him for half a season.

Think it will be Caulker or Lascalles (if indeed either).

Can't see us signing three strikers.

Think its midfield we need the biggest reinforcements and as Fat Frank not realistic we will need much more than that in the middle, tho judging by Tony's comments it sounds as if Adel and Granero might stay?

[Hitman34]

you may need to ammend that 25. tony f has stated we will be keeping our "world class players".

now which ones is he reffering to?

forget fat frank. i would chuck in lansbury.

forget may, he is on the verge of signing a new contract with st johnston. i would add demba ba.

Fair point and I did suggest a long shot, I thought he can't join a US side until January or March '15 ?

Having seen another comment from TF about 'some players not leaving as expected' maybe this ?

As suggested.

Regards,
Lansbury - Not for me - Guilty of some particularly unpleasant cheating at LR last season v NF - Turned his back on the Ref after being fouled & ripped his shirt open, then turned back to the Ref to try to get our man booked/sent off. Good player, but a chancer of the highest order.

Demba Ba - Injury prone, best days behind him maybe ?

thats a bit closer 76. would like to see lascellas added to the squad but as he is 20, he wont take up a squad place.

Hope we go back in for him but no more than 5-5.5 mil

Swp in the 25? No chance

But if we sign Lansbury he will be cheating for us, so who cares?

CM is a worry looking at that list, could do with Barry and someone like Fer or Diame for a bit of physical presence.

[Hitman34]

yep, i worry about having henry in the prem. done ok in the champs but it was just ok. need a belhanda/morrison/tarrabt type player and also a dejong/barry. add to that a left back.

Missed a trick with cresswell IMO, Ashley Cole at LB alongside Rio would be interesting

Agree on Henry

Think we will get one of the spurs boys, Sigurdsson or holtby to compete with granero for the attacking mid slot if harry goes with 4231

Good shout hitman - I didn't realise he was under 21 - so him & Petrasso as U21 Squaddies.
Sadly Harriman & Ehmer both over 21 now, so will end up being loaned out for the season again.

I wouldn't bet against it.
In his last season and he probably thinks he's a Premiership player, so might see him making an effort in training.

Personally, I'd love to see the back of him. But who's gonna sign him ? Best bet is America with his brother.
