Qpr have just signed Craig mackail smith for a fee of two million

[Brooksie]

Yawn, yawn. Are you Davesviews?

[swanleyhoop]

Well, even if you COULD afford a shirt after buying your season ticket, there's no way anyone's going to be putting his name on their shirt in a hurry...

[SuperHoopNik]

YES finally we have signed someone (assuming this is true) but 2mill??!! no way is he worth that

He has been at the ground this evening. I think everything is done now.

I think everything is done now.

Its gone from 'He HAS signed for us" to "I THINK....."

Ughmmm.

Ughmmm.

Things can go wrong.

In fairness he probably only cost £600,000 but it is being "promoted" as £2m...

Hope we haven't signed him btw. I don't think you can continue to call a league one player aged 27 as "promising".

Stain the bloke couldn't trap cement, woeful 1st touch and if this is true then very very worrying

NOT if "He's SIGNED" thy can't. Classic get out clause.

haven't seen enough of him to say but inclined to agree about worrying - if he was any good aged 27 he wouldn't have been playing in league 1. He'd be another Jamie Mackie, run his socks off and score some goals and lots of fans will get over-excited - then he will settle down to being the very average player his career statistics suggest.

Fee is quite high and I'll wait til this is official but he certainly has the right attitude. Just the sort of player Warnock will like. Would people prefer a prem striker who thinks he is billy big balls or a hard worker who led his team to promotion??? I know it was league 1 but he scored goals at championship level as well. Poacher and opportunistic striker which we dont really have.

Importantly if we get him then it means norwich wont. We spend £2mil for him and they spend £2.5mil on vaughan. What is better business???

First major test of Davesviews credentials!

Post of the day and the comparision to Mackie regarding his incredible workrate is spot on and like u say, unfortunately they both fall short on ability.
