Seem to remember when he limped up to our doorstep, it was only after Bolton agreed to contribute to his £16k a week salary. The deal was on and off on a number of occasions over that particular point.
I remember too mate, but there was a fee involved.
I just can see anyone agreeing to let someone go for nothing and still pay towards their wages.

Fair point!
Let's just hope he realises his career is on the wane and he's not worth as much money these days!
Helguson can go for free imo, awful player (Not for watford for some reason)
Under Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
I still remember the time before he came, most fans wanted him here and I didn't. How people forget.
I also didn't want him signed, especially not on his big wages and for £650k.
However, Watford are doing quite well and to be honest, and I don't see why QPR should help them out by letting him go for peanuts (not even a big bag of M&Ms).
If they want him, they can pay up £500K or at least swap him for Doyley or John-Joe O'Toole.
Failing that, perhaps suggest that he can stay there on loan all season as long as they pay his wages. At least this way he can't play and score against QPR.
Amazing how we always want to play hard-ball when we're trying to get rid of someone. Yet when we're trying to get them in we drop our drawers like a cheap brass.
QBP 20th August 2009..."To be fair, I'm glad we are top of the table (for agents fees). Shows we are not a selling club anymore."
Watford fans I know think Doyley is s**t,when we were supposed to be after him a while ago they were laughing and saying we were welcome to him.John Joe OToole looked good when he first got in their team but has been farmed out to Sheff Utd and now Colchester over the last 2 seasons,might be worth a look he's still young.But do we need other teams cast offs, we had to many in the last couple of years and still have some dead wood to get rid of.
Maybe Doyley isn't good, but I think O'Toole is ok to have as a sub. I seem to recall he is quite tall and decent in the air at set pieces.
I don't want HH at QPR and don't really rate him, but I don't want him joining Watford at a giveaway price and then see him back at LR scoring for them.
If QPR just want to get him off the wage bill, I say loan him out until the end of May, as long as they pay his salary and don't let him play against QPR.
