I'm actually really looking forward to next season now.
No more having to put up with old, over-rated and over-paid, once half decent players that couldn't give a monkeys about QPR.
No more struggling to achieve a pathetic 17th place.
No more going into a Championship season with the biggest named players on the biggest salaries with the smallest hearts.
Just good old fashioned young promising footballers who want to further their careers at a club with huge potential, that has been badly let down by all manner of people in recent times.
Might take a couple of years to get the best out of them, but I will personally take far more satisfaction seeing them progress as a team than I ever did with most of the depressing nonsense we have been served up over the last four years.
If spending millions only allowed us to scrape survival once and manage two rock bottom finishes, I'd rather not bother with the embarassment.
I'm feeling a new optimistic avatar coming on mate
From Remy to JET................................Exciting!!!!!
Rather have a bloke who wants to play rather than sit on a bench up the road. I think time will prove that one will be remembered more fondly than the other.

Look at it in the real world, we are now a Championship side and the club is rebuilding ! What more do you want exactly ? Everyone moans when we buy journeyman footballers and now it seems we moan when we buy young stars fr lower divisions.....you obviously weren't around for Sinton, Ferdinand, Peacock, Sinclair, Rowlands etc etc
You must really be confident in Ramsey's abilty to coach and bring out the best in young(ish) players.
I cant say I share that confidence.
Harry Kane, Nabil Bentaleb so far to name a few, also Matty Phillips here and Leroy have improved under him.

Bristol City fan (who shares a flat with a QPR season ticket holder) in peace.
I think you've made a good signing but, glancing through this thread, there seems to be a bit of confusion about what type of player JET is. The reason why he's not got an outstanding goalscoring record is he isn't an out-and-out striker but someone who plays behind the front man. Don't be fooled by his physique either - he's not a target man or someone who'll dominate in the air. What he is the most naturally gifted footballer I've seen in the twenty years I've supported Bristol City. Skilful, creative, clever and - something which is probably good news for your dressing room - he's been, by all accounts, an incredibly positive influence in the dressing room, even when he's not been being picked week in and week out.
He's got some similarities to Taraabt in that he's someone who needs to be given the space to do his own thing and who can struggle a bit when asked to play in conventional systems but, given the freedom to express himself, he's an utter world beater. He's also a bit of a confidence player and can appear lazy when he feels unsure of what's expected of him. He also has a bit of an unfortunate tendency to overdo it at the gym and bulk up at the expense of agility but he improved on that last season. The main reason he wasn't playing at Bristol City is we have a manager who wants to play a set formation and JET didn't have a natural place within it but, at a club like QPR who are almost rebuilding from scratch, I assume he is part of the plan of what Ramsey wants to do and, certainly based on the times I saw QPR last season, that link between midfield and attack is something you're missing and he may fit in well.
The last thing to say is he's an utter cult hero in Bristol and, whilst few of us can really doubt the manager's choice not to pick him in the first XI given how well the eleven players he did pick did last season, he leaves with everyone's best wishes and I hope (and believe) he can succeed at QPR. Two years ago, he lifted Bristol City when we'd just been relegated and were in a bad place in League One and I think having a player that made you actually enjoy going to games was the first step towards us bouncing back last season. If nothing else he'll give you moments of skill and flair that put a smile on your face and remind you why you got into football in the first place - and that might be exactly what QPR need right now.
Just read through this thread and some of this clubs supporters are UNBELIEVABLE. JET may be rubbish or fantastic, or more likely, somewhere in between. But to lay into a guy before he has even started training let alone play for a club is incomprehensible. All I know is that he is probably not earning a shed load of money to fanny about in training or refuse to go on as sub and wants to further his career. If he is no good so be it, but for Christ's sake give the guy a chance.
