Mackin - a 4 year contract?

[terry ball]

This is why myself, w12, paladinoooo , Jeffro and Terry have all been saying that GP has to go. I wonder if this has changed some of you GP fans? I will say I used to be a fan of his but I realised eventually that he is bad for our football club and it seems he still has the important job of offering very long contracts without learning from past mistakes.

You aing been saying uck all mate, apart from you think we are boring

Can I just say Neil Warnock is in charge of all transfers.

He said on Talksport "he will never let anyone else to interfere with buys"

What is the issue here?

I'm not overwhelmed, end of the day its NW's decision and we should get behind it

100% agree.

Pete - what are our chances of signing a striker beginning with "H", bearing in mind we have been linked with hooper/ hulse/ henderson?

How did GP interfere in the buying of this player. Warnock wanted him and between GP, the player and his agent, he got a 4 year deal.

It's just a matter of time Paul before the poo hits the fan

Not once have I mentioned Paladini's name!

I hope he does alright, but let's be honest he is not going to set the world alight so we sell him for silly money a couple of years down the line. If he was that good, he would be going to a better team.

We should know with our history about giving players such long contracts. If we go up next season, he won't want to leave because he would not be good enough for the Prem.

I am sure he is Warnock's man, but don't tell me Warnock is saying give him a 4 year deal.I assume Paladini does the wheeling and dealing of transfers and Paladini should know more than anyone not to be giving out long contracts.

We should have given him a 2/3 year contract with an option of a fourth. Same old Rangers. We never learn.

Agree with all the above.

Having players like Aygemang, hall and vine all sitting on 4 years contracts is a terrible thing that is very much part of modern day football.

I am not suprised clubs are going under when they have players sitting on the bench and earning vast amounts of money.

With all the examples of contract dealings by Gp for all the above players, is it really that shocking that GP's name has been mentioned Benny Strachan?

[stanistheman]

A 4 year deal could work either way.

If Mackie is on £7Kpw, 4 years is not too long, especially if he turns out to be a good player for QPR. However, if he is on £10KPw and turns out to be another Agyemang, then yes, it is too long

The point is we don't know how much he is being paid in the contract.

I am not too keen on his scoring stats if he is a centre forward, however if he mostly plays on the wing, then they are not too bad.

I was not too keen on him signing, but now that he has, I am prepared to wait and see him play a number of games before passing further judgement.

[Jeffro]

Ok I am prepared to give Mackie the benefit of the doubt on this one. When we played Plymuff at home I thought the young forward causing us most problems was Mackie. Then the young black kid they brought on 2nd half was also good ( the other player we are interested in).

My only worries regarding this are:

1) we have handed out a 4 year contract on an unproven player.
2) we have signed a player who happened to play well against us.

These situations are all too familiar and I just hope the involvement of people doing this in the past is no more.

That's a ridiculous argument.

It's like saying you and me should be paid 1k a week for 10 years although we're clearly not good enough.

Long contracts should be for special players in the top flight with clubs who can sustain those contracts.

We are QPR. We were in admin twice because of long contracts. No one in the Championship is good enough to be on a 4 year deal. 3 year max.

It is irrelevant what money he is on. It's the fact we will now be stuck with him for 4 years.

1. If he gets us promoted, then he won't be good enough to stay with us in the Prem.

2. If he is not good enough for us next season then we are stuck with him for another 3 years after next.

We are in a no win situation.

Hooper and Speroni had good games against QPR both times last season, can QPR sign them too...please.
