HAHAHA no chance he thinks he is too big for QPR let alone a league 2 side

Best nmates with Andy Mangan

I think there's more chance of him joining Fleetwood Mac TBH.

Surely if he was to be loaned out to reduce the timespan of the ban then it would be at a local club. Woking for example.

Then again...... if he has been told he can go.........

[2bobrob]

would he be that bothered as long as he is being paid?

[QPRDave]

I have just found this, ... can't believe this can be to link up with Fleetwood, surely

Considering it's not too far from where he is from, I don't see it as that hard to believe.

He lives in London doesn't he?

He lives in London doesn't he?

Yes, but his family are from that neck of the woods. And remember his infamous night out was Garland's in Liverpool.

The last site I'd look for football gossip is that pony radio stations site!

[ArcticHoop]

why would he go to league two to get match fitness when he can go to championship? He would be much better prepared to play for us if he plays in championship. If that story about Fleetwood is even true

[Sexton75]

It appears it is true about training with them but it's only for one week?

[QPR71]
