Sainsbury signs for psv

[1973 ranger]

Eze signing on is a boost to the club and the fans.

[Shepherds Mush]

Apparently Sainsbury got really confused when his agent told him PSV, QPR, PNE, PSG and WBA were all interested in him.

[Timmy the Doc]

Honest question.

If given the choice of young Eze signing a three year contract, or signing an Australian with excessive wage demands that in all honesty, most of us hadn’t heard of a couple of months ago, what would you have gone for?

A bit of perspective is in order, I feel.

I think majority thought Sainsbury would have been good and suitable for us, hence the disappointment. Nothing bad in that IMO.

"Sainsbury, now a free agent, travelled to Holland on Monday to undergo a medical with the reigning Eredivisie champions in a move that, if finalised as expected in coming days, could see the Socceroos defender switch China for the Champions League."

Reigning Champions, Champions League v. QPR?

Was it really any contest?

No. You can't blame him and we can't blame our owners surely?

[klonk]

No. You can't blame him and we can't blame our owners surely?

i'm fairly sure that there's a couple of people here that will find a way to blame our owners...

Obviously Eze. Still isn't good enough for some though.

FFS HERE WE GO AGAIN can't anybody have an opinion in case it' offends the owners or board I have a strong opinion that we spent to long on this and here we go two days to window shutting and we've lost out on a 27 year old world cup star on free transfer that has chosen a bigger club in a bigger league no one can obviously blame him it's his career , can anybody justify the board waiting until two days before the close , or doesnt any body think we can get left short or could find ourselves taking someone no better than what we've got just to fill numbers ,
then again I suppose I just love knocking my club

Eze will do me all day long him Smythe BOS Freeman Luongo and scowens are the sort of players I go to football to watch what ever league they are in

No. But what makes it worse is all the usual nonsense claims to be getting business done early.

And yes, course you can have an opinion.

Brighton. Unfortunately it is the way it is now at QPR.

You ain't wrong there Buddy

We weretalking to him for nigh on a month buf and earlier via Luongo , should we sign only players that sign immediately no but we should want players that want to come QPR not players that want to hang on untill near the last moment that can then leave us less of an option we become desperate so any selling club might ask for more money so can lose out that way as well , heaven knows we've lost with players desideing to go at the last minute then it's been too late to spend the money , can't see how any body can disagree , we might be in shlt street at the moment but will prove Sainsbury wont be bigger than QPR

I understand that but this sort of thing happens and not just to QPR. I don't know why the default position on here seems to be that the board are incompetent every time something doesn't go our way. It's not like there is a huge list of decent players out there that a) are for sale and b) we can afford.

Buffs you've answered your own question there if there isn't a huge list out there , that we can afford then why waste time on a 27 year old world cup star for free as if he would opt for a skint shepherds Bush back street club when a champion league club comes calling or the way Turkish clubs throw money about as I said should've moved on last week and the board not the owners should've been wise to that

[West Acton]

Should've cut our interest in him a week ago and looked elsewhere hanging on almost to the bitter end make the board look weak and amatueris , thinking they can get something for nothing , now whoever we get will be looked on as second best

Agree with Dogs here we have history of chasing players who view us as option B and fall back position

in these circumstances I would say to players like this we’re moving on if you don’t get club and we have not signed anyone let us know but we’re not hanging around for you.

I would however not get upset about missing out, as others have pointed out before his name was raised I had never heard of him and can’t not honestly say if he’s any good (guessing same applies for 90% of posters) so why cry over it

[Buffalo]

The trouble is, most of the delay with this one has been negotiating with his chinese club. It wasn't until he cancelled his contract that PSV jumped in.

As I said, it's very easy to say all this with hindsight - I can't find anyone's post from two weeks ago saying that we should forget about him and move on.
