I selected Vine, Agyemang & Hall becuase they all got 4 years (plus in 1 case) on between 14 & 20k a week, allegedly. No I can't prove it.
But the ones you mentioned (and many more) were NOT given 4 years. And most are not reputedly on that sort of weekly wage. (Adel being a wage excpetion, but not length of contract)
So examples were picked relating to my suggestion that they were given over long and expensive contracts, which is all 3 cases we've generally agreed should have been offloaded. we still do regards Vine and although Dave & Fitz have had stays of execution (and your right about Hall on Saturday, as you are about Helguson compared to last year) - if Hull/MK Dons/Bristol City/Newcastle had made offers for the 3 you like others would have snatched their hands off. One reason they didn't go, is because of the gravy train they are on at QPR.
I don't blame them, would you volutarily leave your contracted job to go elsewhere on half the money or less ?
So I wasn't knocking all our signings over that last few years, nor ignoring them. I was pointing our 3 particular cases.
But to balance your examples -
Pellicori, Alberti, Di Carmine, Ward, Oliseh, Czerkas, Tchakounte, etc.
And whilst we're at it.
Evatt & Padula's contracts & deals didn't go too well either.
I genuinely hope your right and GP and QPR are found not guilty 100% and all charges dismissed or dropped. But in all honesty, do you see that happening ?
I may be a pessimist, but I do try to retain some reality and reasoning.
As a betting man, my money's still on the F.A. not us or GP.
