11 loan Rangers, good or bad?

[terry ball]

This season so far we have had 11 players on loan

Heaton
Taylor
Ikeme
Williams
Hill
Watson
Reid
Tarrabt
Bent
Simpson
Priskin

Now, i understand that loaning players is the clubs policy but surely getting 11 players, 3 years into "the project" can't be right? Surely we should have a strong, established squad at this stage and only be using the loan market to cover injuries?
Just a quick look at other clubs, indicates we loan more than any other side in the division

Barnsley- 7
Blackpool- 6
Bristol City- 4
Cardiff- 1
Coventry- 5
Derby- 9
Doncaster- 4
Forest- 2
Ipswich- 6
Leicester- 3
Middlesboro- 7
Newcastle- 5
Palace- 1
Preston- 3
P'boro- 11
Plymouth- 7
QPR - 11
Reading- 6
Scunthorpe- 5
Swansea- 2
Sheff wed- 4
Sheff utd- 10
Watford- 6
West Brom 2


So, is this the work of a compotent DOF or does this indicate his failings?

make that 12 if that Osbourne chap is coming as well.

[W10 RANGER]

this is even more embarrassing, we are meant to be one of the richest club but yet we still rely on the loan market

11 not bad for a team that had leant there lessons from last year.

Wasn't that QBP qoute at the end of last season no more loans next season!!!!!!!

Why have we got loans in??

Would having no money for buys be anything to do with it?

Terry read all your posts and you seem to be gloating about our demise, just to prove a point

It's not really the time to be proving points, especially against posters from your messageboard. The club is in crisis and i have put facts in front of your eyes. What does 11 loans, 3 years into a 4 year plan tell you. Mistakes or progress?

[norfolk ranger]

you only have to look at what happened to norwich last season,all they relied on was the loan market,& look where that got them,but at least they have learnt a harsh lesson as hardly have any loans this season & are clearly reaping the rewards.

bet its something we wont learn nxt year as we are trying to get out of league 1.

Entirely agree far too many loans

Thats part of the reason why we don't have any pride and passion playing for the badge

"Gloating" or just facing "FACTS"

as they are "FACTS"

2 years into the project & we are all about "LOANS" which i do recall someone saying we wouldn't have that this season, or have you forgot about that "Quote or yours"

wake up FFS :devil:

Preseason you made a point that the board has learned it's lessons and there would be NO loans. Was that bs then Pete?

And how can we have no money for buys, and still loan 11 players? Wages and agent fees etc and free are they?

It's been made very clear during this window that we are skint, how did that happen? We were a project, premiership within 4 years etc. What has changed? Briatore broke, and the others not putting any money in because they've seen how our DOF spends it?

That was the aim at start of season.

Tarrabt..When he played last season all fans wanted him, he came on loan

Watson.. Spoke about his desire to come to QPR before, he came on loan.. We all wanted him.

Simpson.. Probably the best loan, without his goals we would be in trouble.

Players like Heaton were simply a goalkeeping Number 2 and Reid could have worked. You are right 11 is far too many.

Just get the impression mid December they decided to go in the loan market instead of buying players.

What worries me is that Flavio has already shown he wants to recoup money by selling Routledge and that he may just try and recoup some more in the summer.
