What's Lopez on about?

[pc1401]

Disagree here fella. Big loss. We were a much better side when he played and he is head and shoulders about Legs, Mahon and Rowlands all of whom will feature regularly this season for us!

I agree also

[qprjames]

don't rate lopez. Think rowly, legs and buz are muxh better plus we now have this faurlin kid.

No big loss

No big loss

Obviously we was at different games last season... This guys passing was second to none. Dead ball situations he was the best we've had for a while, his vision was great too and he was good at backing up the defence. Everytime he played he was the Cesc Fabrigas of the Championship (not in the same league but the same style of player). Ball was always played out to the back four from Cerny either straight to him or via a defender to him.

Buzz - The only thing Buzz does better is score screamers more often. Face it, you'd never remember him if he never popped up 8 times a season and scored screamers. He is terrible at tracking back & defending and in a game when your backs are against the wall Buzz hides. Don't get me wrong I rate him and he is a player who can make things happen out of nothing. But on a cold Tuesday night in Barnsley when your 1-0 he reminds me of Parjo.

Legs - 9 out of 10 times struggles to make a 10 yard pass. Reminds me of a crab because any pass going forward is usually to short, to long or misplaced! Not even in the same league as Lopez. His only real asset is that he can win a tackle. Score 2 goals against Stoke on TV and one last season at home I remember... You know in the game where he was the worst player on the field and was lucky not to be taken off after 15mins because he was that bad.

Rowlands - unless he has a massive season this year won't be at QPR next season. Not half the player he was and is far too injury prone. In a 50-50 tackle I back him to come off injured!

Mahon - Dependable but prone to mistakes, but far less than Legs. You know what you get with him, a slow engine who provides good covering support for the back four. However always struggles when Legs is playing in Midfield with him.

Legs better than Lopez?

:amazing:

Legs cannot put a string of passes in. Always loses the ball. Lopez on the other hand can and is a better player than Legs and Mahon put together.
I wished we tried to get his signature but obviously his heart was with Sousa.

[stanistheman]

I'm with Dazzer.
His vision, passing and movement were far superior to anyone we had last seasno.
And, unlike Buzz, he had a good defensive side to him as well.
Big loss which I hope doesn't come back and bite us on the bum.

I agree. I think he could have played a more defensive, but creative midfield role alongside Buzsaky.

My feeling is that QPR had already made a decision to sign Faurlin and Lopez was considered to be too similar and surplus to requirements. But I think we all know that Lopez can play in the CCC whereas Faurlin is something of a gamble and could easily turn out to be another Parejo. I hope I am wrong.

""Paulo played a big part in my decision to accept Swansea's offer and sign the deal," said the Spanish midfielder, 28.

"We were together at QPR so I know how he works. After a difficult year for me, the way he treats his players will help me get back to my best."

A difficult year? You were on the scrap heap and QPR helped resurrect your career fella?!

I just read this after sending my previous response. You are spot on about all four of these midfielders. My hope is that aurlin is a similar player to Lopez. Otherwise, I expect QPR to lose many midfield battles gain in 2009/10.

"Leigertwood better than Lopez".

I know football is all about opinions, but that is the best joke I have read on here for a long long time.

Dazzler, you are referring to the Swansea game when Leigertwood misplaced every pass and lost every tackle and was saved by Lopez, when he placed a free kick on to his head to score the games only goal after 27mins or so. After that Leigertwood failed to do anytghing else right.

[EYR]

Difficult year as he was on the scrapheap til Sousa signed him up,fair comment to be honest.

[stainrodisalegend]

So a few years ago lopez was part of a side which absolutely destroyed one of our biggest ccc rivals in the eufa cup final - but he isn't as gd as gavin mahon. Well, as they say, its a point of view...

[Hertford Hoop]

He thinks he's had a difficult year.

This year he's living in Wales.

lol

[E4Hoop]

Exactly what I was thinking!

He only said he had a difficult year for god sake, how do you know how good his year was?!

He's a quality player, we missed out big time. Better than Legs and Rowly by a distance IMO.

At least there is a few on this board who know what they are talking about then fella
