QPR dealt blow in Arouna Kone bid

[Stanley]

GetWestLondon understands that Everton want Rangers to contribute a sizeable amount of the Ivory Coast striker's £40,000 a week wages, something that the
club aren't prepared to do. It means that QPR will now be looking elsewhere to make additions in the forward department.

Pay the money! we saved that in sandros wages!

Top quality striker.

[Garyd73]

We can't afford those wages, don't pay it or anywhere close to it.

[Shania]

But will he put in a shift for us?

[Stanley]

£40k a week for a 33 year old with a possibly dodgy knee.

Have we not moved on from those type of signings?

Pleased we rejected wage demands. He is an average striker but nothing amazing, Sylla probably do just as good.

This!

If we are dipping into the loan market we should be finding top kids from the Premier League who are looking to make a name for themselves. On the whole, I'm really not a massive fan of bringing in players in their 30's on big money, even if it is just a loan signing!

[Bluehoop]

Hardly a blow is it?

With the loan market I'd actually prefer more experienced players who could make an impact. Kids on loan are always a risk - for every Kyle Walker, there are 10 Will Keanes. It also depends on what the clubs objectives are...if we are still pushing for playoffs then bring in an experienced pro or 2...if not, then we may as well buy, rather than loan young players in preparation for next season. Whatever anyone says, we're not going down this season.

Dont understand Everton. Even if we pay him 100 a week they are still better off by 100 if no one else wants him ?

[Rebel R's]

As I have said Holloway is having to work with peanuts ( nothing like the £7 million many assumed he would have).

[Nick]

Hardly a blow is it?

Bang on!!.... give that a swerve!!

[bakes8]

Pretty good player if a bit old and injury prone. But if it looks like we're not going down why would we shell out 40bags a week for someone who has no future here?

Look for someone else.

[Hertford Hoop]

Not fussed one iota, we don't want money grabbing bar stewards anymore

[amusant]

They might come back if he's still hanging around at the end of Jan
