QPR Paid £4.5M For Anton Ferdinand

[Norths]

Very happy with both right now, 4.5m doesnt seem too much for a solid CB partnership thesedays.

[QPRDave]

Be nice to know exactly how much.Just out of interest.

[WeAreQPR12]

I think 4.5 could be right. Lets not forget sunderland paid west ham 8m for his services. Also the others they announced were right with regards to young and dj. SWP if 2.5 is correct what a bargain.

[QPRDave]

SWP definitely a bargain,and to be fair up to now (touch wood) Anton ain't put a foot wrong.I suppose most importantly if NW thinks thats what he's worth then fair enough.

[MattyRangers]

That probably is an over inflated price but he is still only 26, so his best years should be now and the nxt 4 years. He was bought for 8 million from sunderland so we nearly got him at half price if u think of it like that. Still need another centre back as we r wafer think 4 cover

IMO the ald is worth 4.5mill. Very good player, showing his worth and PL experience already (best defender of the day in PL in the Daily Mail-following on from Gabbidon getting the same accolade vs Everton) and when looking at the current transfer market and figures paidfor English players, 4.5mill really is quite cheap. As another poster has stated, with the amount of inaccuracies Sky reported, this figure may not be true at all, but if it is, I dont think thats too much at all.

Also, defiantley agree about needing CB cover. 1 injury and we are forced to call upon Hall who, IMO, is an OK player but dont have too much confidence in him, lunges in way too much and in the PL, as shown at Wigan a few times, players will just nip round you if you do.

In Warnocks latest interview he seems to quash the Ferdinand rumours with this quote;

"And I saw some quotes of Ferdinand being £4.5 million but that’s a bit wrong. We paid £2 million.”

SKY wrong again.

[Brian Wilson]

I think Fernandes was quoted as saying we spent between 10 and 12 million during the transfer window so i reckon something like

Barton 2 mil (in various fees)
Young 2 mil
SWP 2.5 mil
Traore 2 mil
Ferdinand 2 mil
Puncheon loan fee - no idea

I think Gabbidon has been excellent for the most part particularly against Everton

What a bargin, great work Neil

I'd rather believe NW in that we've spent just over £6million but then again what does he know over what these reporters print.

As for my Gabbidon comments I hope I'm proved wrong but I will continue to say he's our worse defender and the weak link at the back. I look for improvement in our team win lose or draw. Since the new players have come in he's been highlighted. Against Bolton I was impressed with him as he was better than Hill and Orr. Still think Hall and Ferdinand is our best central defense partnership and come Jan we'll sign another center back to replace both Hall and Gabbidon and NW would not have signed Gabbidon if he had cash to spend. He was the best free option at the time and a gamble.

[Ric-Roc]

Fair comments Dazzer.

IMO Gabbidon gets a bum deal and has done nothing wrong and I have always slated Hall abit but after today i have to admit he looked pretty solid and would probably have to say Id quite like to see them 2 start at the back even when Gabbidons fit again.
